I’ve sent several letters to gov officials to protect our headlands. I urge everyone to do the same. It takes >5 minutes with the templates provided. If you’ve been here you’ll know how special it is ❤️

Diverse perspectives drive diverse solutions! The science policy team had diverse backgrounds & expertise so we could lean on one another. But everything we did was grounded in bringing the voice of the public (including those underrepresented) to the forefront policy agendas.

Project management continued.. we also something similar to the AGILE framework, participating in morning ‘scrums’ to update the team on multiple projects, and what was important for the day & the week. That way, the team could prioritise how we could help one another.

That’s a wrap! What an incredible PhD internship with @Science_Academy working on the Research Roadmap for Blood Cancers project.
1 - consultation paper
3 - webinars
9 - qual interviews
& multiple project
Here’s what I’ve learned about #sciencepolicy ⬇️ @IGM_group @UQMedicine

I absolutely love Dr Newson’s work. Such an incredible advocate for women’s health which is sorrily under researched and inaccessible.
Dr Louise Newson@drlouisenewson
This is the last two sentences from an article I wrote with Dr Richard Hull who is a Lecturer in Philosophy at the National University of Ireland. He has spoken about “gendered ageism” for many women when it comes to receiving evidence based menopause care and treatment. While taking HRT is always a personal choice, it is one that should be offered early to most women. Indeed, it should be recommended more often by health care practitioners given its key role in alleviating menopausal symptoms,preventing disease and promoting quality of life.

Finally the embargo has been lifted! Exited to share that we received a #MRFF to extend our research on PRS, where I’ll be leading the development of an education program for clinicians. Watch this space for new clinicians resources!
Peter Mac Cancer Centre@PeterMacCC
Prof Paul James has been awarded an #MRFF grant of $2.8m for a trial aiming to predict an individual's future risk of common cancers. The project will implement #polygenic risk scores alongside current genetic testing for #cancer predisposition. More: petermac.org/about-us/news-…

Really exciting sessions coming up today, Wed & Thu - discussions regarding where we should focus our efforts for blood cancer research over the next 10 years! Registration info below 🩸🧬⬇️
Australian Academy of Science@Science_Academy
Learned Academies and Leukaemia Foundation join forces to accelerate blood cancer research ⏰ Webinar series starts Tues 21 Nov ⏰ Blood cancers are among the most common cancers in Australia, responsible for almost 6,000 cancer-related deaths annually. The @LeukaemiaAus Foundation is hoping that by 2035 no Australian will lose their life to blood cancer, and with this in mind, has engaged the Academy to begin developing a 10-year plan to accelerate breakthrough #bloodcancer research in Australia. This process begins with a consultation process through an initial consultation paper, interviews, and a series of themed, interactive webinars and surveys to understand the current blood cancer landscape in Australia. Read the consultation paper (PDF, 2.6MB): science.org.au/files/userfile… The consultation period for the consultation paper ends on 8 December 2023. Learn more and register for the webinars: science.org.au/supporting-sci…
