#ElonMusk #StarlinkBangladesh The government of Bangladesh has cut off all internet services in an attempt to suppress legitimate student protests. Urgent attention is required to protect the lives of innocent students in Bangladesh. This is a plea for humanity!

Privileged to receive the @Monash_FMNHS Dean's Award for Excellence in Education - Educational Leadership. Many thanks to all my wonderful colleagues who make working @MonashUni a brilliant experience @PZoungas @Monash_SPHPM @MERQMU @ProfSueElliott @ProfSPickering @allieclemans

New data: a study of older Aust women led by @FSultanaBD & @rakibdps shows only a modest association between low testosterone/oestrone, and depressive symptoms, suggesting sex hormone therapy should not be used to treat depression in that cohort maturitas.org/article/S0378-…

Our new study using #SHOW and #ASPREE data shows that the contribution of #sexhormones to the likelihood of #depression was small as such the use of #sexhormones for the #treatmentofdepression in older women is discouraged. maturitas.org/article/S0378-…
