The classic hourglass structure of paper writing

Great blog by Coleman Lab on the cost of fear to research

One is imposter syndrome (eg ‘I don’t belong’)

Another is lack of team psychological safety that manifests as the fear of raising new ideas, disagreeing with your PI, etc

Lots of great ideas & thoughts👇

Check it out while it’s hot off the press 🔥

Grateful for such a wonderful collaboration in publishing this work 🙏🏾

I have shared this video twice today with some of my team members, so I will share it again here

Simon Sinek changed my views on how we communicate about research, and it helped me increase impact

What a great event it was! Can't wait to see all @monashVHI EMCRs will achieve

Thanks A/Prof Francine Marques for an amazing talk and thank you to Monash Victorian Heart Institute’s Future Research Leaders Alliance co-chairs Dr Lachlan Dalli Tash Thayabaranathan and of course Dr Michael J Houghton!

My main take aways were:

💪🏼 Recognising effort!
👷🏻‍♀️Building psychologically safe teams!

🔥our GWAS meta-analysis of #IBS is out, using criteria from Rome Foundation

👉higher heritability and genetic overlap with cardiovascular conditions

👏fantastic work by Leticia Camargo Tavares and many others

Thrilled to share that my major PhD study has been published today in CMGH ! In the study, we provide novel insights into the genetic underpinnings of irritable bowel syndrome, underscoring a shared genetic predisposition between IBS and cardiovascular traits.

Our paper “Prospects for Leveraging the Microbiota as Medicine for Hypertension” is out now in Hypertension.

Honoured to co-author this editorial. There is still a lot of good work to do in this rapidly growing field!

Thank you so much for inviting me to speak, I love the concept of Her Research Matters

Can’t wait to learn more about it and see all the wonderful MIPS people

Understanding disease MECHANISMS instead of just treating symptoms increases the chances of new drug approval - genetics is a great tool to inform these

Discovery research is so important!
