Excited to announce my new research - the First Nations Childhood Cancer Research team which will work closely with communities to help close the gap in childhood cancer outcomes. thewest.com.au/news/health/wo…

What happens when you donate a cancer sample to research? We've made a video to help explain to community what we do in the lab, and we are starting a research project to understand cultural considerations for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people youtu.be/Df3jHA9vyAM

@jessica_l_buck Well done. Proud of your hard work

What a week! I can finally announce I have received an investigator grant to continue researching better treatments for rare paediatric brain cancers. And we got our new benchtop MRI installed and running! Bring on 2024

Did you know..?The Emu in the Sky, seen by Aboriginal groups across Aus,is composed of the dark spaces in the Milky Way. The rising of the celestial emu at dusk informs observers about Emu breeding behaviour & was directly tied to taking the emu egg for food @indigenous_gov [1/3]

Childhood is not a race to see how quickly a child can read, write and count. It is a small window of time to learn and develop at the pace that is right for each individual child. Earlier is not better. ~ Magda Gerber #parenting

So true! 🧡

Do you agree?

"Higher screen time at age 2 was directly associated w poorer communication at age 4. It was also associated w daily living skills, but frequency of OUTDOOR #PLAY at age 2 yrs 8 months alleviated it..." #recess #ece @RaePica1 @williamdoylenyc @PASMeeting jamanetwork.com/journals/jamap…

@jessicalavo It’s a great feeling. I am so glad I went back to a school, supporting families and children at a local level and actually making a difference and being appreciated.
