@SharnaJamadar @ATSE_au @Mon_Bio_Imaging Congratulations Sharna!

Delighted to share that I’ve been selected as @ATSE_au #ElevateSTEM scholar for 2024! I’m 1 of 10 entering the leadership program to increase women’s representation in leadership in technical sciences. Very grateful to ATSE for their support @turnerinstitute @Mon_Bio_Imaging

The so called mystery outbreak in Chinese children probably isn’t a mystery. There is one germ though that they’re reporting that we should take notice of. abclisten.page.link/tMPQWHfBVS9ZNU…

@CarinaGarlandMP launched @arc_gov_au Industrial Transformation Training Centre in #OptimalAgeing at #MonashUni Monash and @FedUniAustralia experts join together to train next-gen #digitalhealth scientists & address needs of older Australians. Read more: mona.sh/ynAX50Q9gbh

Huge congrats to Professors Mark Bellgrove and Katrina Williams for their Vice-Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Research Engagement and Impact. They developed Australia’s first NHMRC-approved evidence-based clinical practice guideline for ADHD. Vital, vital work.

I was privileged to present at @MonashUni School of Psychological Science Research showcase today on a project I’m undertaking with my first CI research grant #research #ecr #AcademicTwitter @turnerinstitute

Congrats to A/Prof Yen-Ying Lim, @AAMRI_Aus Rising Star Award finalist. She's led a paradigm shift in Alzheimer's research, around early identification and better interventions. #TurnerInstitute #Alzheimers #Neuroscience #MonashPsychology #Monash #AAMRI aamri.org.au/news-events/aa…

New work from our lab out now in @NatureComms! A similarly sized marsupial takes 3x longer to develop than a mouse, but do all cortical neurodevelopmental processes temporally scale to different timeframe uniformly? No! 🦘👩‍🔬🧠🔬nature.com/articles/s4146…

Such brilliant work!

Public @MonashUni talk coming up in Melbourne with Marcela Ot’alora and Bruce Poulter, lead trainers and supervisors from @MAPS, speaking IN PERSON on 'MDMA-assisted Therapy for PTSD and Authorised Prescribing in Australia'. More info + tickets here: tinyurl.com/mdmatalk

Getting a diagnosis of #ADHD or #Autism is rarely a linear process. At #AADPA23 this weekend, PhD candidate @rachael_knott1 will be talking about the longer delays to diagnosis for kids with *both* conditions, and girls with autism or both conditions. #MonashPsychology #Monash

New research led by @turnerinstitute, funded by the National Intelligence and Security Discovery Research Grants Program, will involve growing human brain cells onto silicon chips, with new continual learning capabilities to transform #machinelearning. bit.ly/3QbzKDv

#ohbm2023 is here and so is @NSB_Lab! A lot of projects completed recently, and our presenters keen to share them with you. Peep the thread for details of talks and posters! ⬇️

....and @m_gajwani's work at Poster #1182 looking at how different preprocessing choices affect the consistency with which we can identify hubs with diffusion MRI

Be sure to check out @IvaIlioska ‘s talk on Sunday 16:45 where she will discuss “Multiscale heterogeneity of functional connectivity in autism“. Questions about the imaging similarities between people w/ autism? Iva can tell you about it at the level of nodes, regions & networks

On Monday (11:00) the inimitable @StuartJOldham will be discussing Development of thalamocortical connectivity during the third trimester Not to be missed if you have any interest in developmental connectomics, or want to see an AMAZING presenter with some powerpoint magic!

And dont forget that on Monday, you can come along to talk to @cyctbdbw at Poster #1108, where he used eigenmodes to examine cortical morphological asymmetries in mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease

On Tuesday 10:30, alum @SidChop (now at Yale with @AvramHolmes) will be talking about Connectome-based Spreading of Grey Matter Abnormalities Across the Psychosis Continuum A follow up of the lovely work by @misicbata and team (which you might have heard on Thursday!)
