I’m officially on board for the Vic Discovery Tour with Tour de Cure!! Not riding, it’d take me weeks, but I’ll be supporting the riders! Vic Discovery Tour 2024 : Make a donation today to support Signature Tour 2025 vicdiscovery.tourdecure.com.au/bec-brown #Vic Discovery Tour 2024 via @raisely

🚴‍♂️✨ We recently hosted @tourdecure_aus at ONJCRI, showcasing our lab’s progress made possible by their generous $3.6M in grants! 🌟 Join us for the VIC Discovery Tour on Nov 17, from Halls Gap to Melbourne, and help fund our research. 🚴‍♀️💖 #CancerResearch

I presented at the 10th international Pint of Science festival last night and it was SO much fun!!! 10/10 would recommend getting to a show tonight, or next year if you can’t make it tonight!

Super excited to share that I am a recipient of one of the Tour de Cure PhD grants! This support will help me continue my work, discovering more about γδ T cells and their role in breast cancer as a possible therapeutic tool. Thank you so very much @tourdecure_aus

Amazing talks so far at Northern’s Brightest Stars Symposium today, held at @latrobe Drew Berry @WEHI_research showcased his amazing medical animations Jessica Duarte @ONJCRI shared her brilliant work in the immune environment of prostate cancer

I can't see another #PhD student or #postdoc crying because of toxic environments. We are literally killing talents due to lack of people management skills. Having people crying in your lab is not normal. #AcademicMentalHealth @PhDVoice @PostdocVoice

@slashnburnett @PhDVoice @AcademicChatter You can do it, Doc!!! 🙌🏼👏🏼

@SmritiPranjal @AcademicChatter @PhDVoice I have an excel spreadsheet, with a 1-5 rating regarding importance, the details of the paper, 5 keywords, and a basic summary. It’s really handy, and very easy to flick through when I’m looking for something.

So excited for our lab to have received funding from NBCF

@AnkaBona @AcademicChatter @PhDVoice OneNote is great, but I also love Goodnotes, especially for reading and annotating papers 👍🏼

@melkorman @ThePhDPlace We technically have 4 weeks of leave available to us, and 10 days (I think) of sick leave. But students rarely take all that time

How much time off do you think is fair for a PhD student to take in any given year? My university doesn’t seem to have guidelines on this, which seems a bit strange to me, so I’d love to hear what #AcademicTwitter thinks! @ThePhDPlace

@ONJCRI researchers celebrating #DayOfImmunology by sharing our latest research ideas and discussing recent publications showing new ways immune cells can recognise tumour cells. Join us for a virtual tour of our amazing work place: immunology.org.au/news-and-event… @ASImmunology

@PhDVoice @PostdocVoice We have our own desks in an open office space, with dividers so we can actually get some work done. But private offices are reserved for lab heads

PhD students, do you have your own office? 🤔 #PhDVoice @PostdocVoice

@jsmnpnv @PhDVoice I go to work earlier than most people, so I also leave earlier, which means the gyms are half empty, and there still feels like enough time left in the day after I get home from the gym. If I finished work at 5, I don’t think I could make myself go… 😅

Dear academic twitter: do you workout/do sport? How do you even motivate yourself to do it? The last thing I want to do after work is to be doing more stuff, but I'm also conflicted because movement is good for my physical and mental health. Help a girl out! #phdchat #phdvoice

How are you acknowledging #InternationalWomensDay2023 today? #genderequity #Diversity #inclusion @ONJCRI

@acagamic @audemic_co Any tips on uploading papers? I can’t get it to work… 😰

@Gabriel3Luna @PhD_Genie @PhDVoice I would heavily recommend audemic.io

Any App recommendations that reads PDFs documents? Trying to listen articles while driving and Workingout @PhDVoice @PhD_Genie #phdvoice #PhDCandidate #phd

Just attended a jaw-dropping talk from @purton_louise addressing inequity in Australian research funding. I’m depressed at the current state of funding, yet so optimistic about the future, and extremely grateful for the work being done by Louise and her colleagues

Had a ridiculously inspiring Wednesday morning watching Misty talk at the inaugural northern’s brightest stars symposium

Congratulations to @ONJCRI @latrobe PhD graduates Drs @RyanOKeefe6 and @LaphingChi! Well done on all your hard work - we are so proud of you! 🧪 🧫 🧬
