"Older adults are NOT resilient to driving impairment following sleep loss" strong words from MonashSleepLab and Anderson team PhD student, Anna Cai in her first conference presentation #SDU19 Clare Anderson

Rising stars? More like rising men. It's 2020 and only 22.5% (9/40) of The Australian top 40 young researchers are women. 3/8 categories have zero women inc. health & medical sciences. #top40men #WomenInSTEM #genderequity Million STEM Science in Australia Gender Equity (SAGE) specialreports.theaustralian.com.au/1540291/

My first talk at a sleep conference presenting results from my PhD data 🥰

Since none of us can go to any conferences this year, a throwback to my first conference at #SDU2019 Australasian Sleep Association Dr Jessica Manousakis

Don't be defined by your degree. Be defined by your intellect, your kindness, and your passion. Be defined by your humanity, your drive, and your vision. Those don't come from a piece of paper. Your degree is just the icing on the cake Academic Chatter™ #altac #phdlife

We need to normalize just how good PhD students are. You already have a bachelors (maybe a masters). You’re highly qualified, and now you’re doing something that very few people IN THE WORLD can do. You’re literally one of the best in the world in your field. Think about that.

As ready as I’ll ever be Clare Anderson !

Very excited to announce my systematic review being accepted for publication in JSMR. Such an important topic that I think everyone can relate to. How often do you drive when you are sleepy? authors.elsevier.com/c/1delU3tB5Qpt…

Catch academy co-chair Dr. Zoe Menczel Schrire as well as @SleepSamMSc, Anna Cai , Elly Francis-Pester , Dr. Jesse Parker , Aaron Lam and many more CogSleepers presenting at today's symposium. Good luck to everyone - cannot wait to see what you've been working on!

Very excited to see MonashSleepLab students Anna Cai and Elly Francis-Pester present their research on healthy ageing later today, along with all the other CogSleep Academy HDR talks!

So excited to be presenting my work on age related changes during subjective and objective driving performance on day 2 of the @cogsleep Symposium 2021! CogSleep Academy great work on all those involved in putting such a great symposium together. #ageing #drowsydriving

A great talk from Academy member Anna Cai showing older adults are NOT resilient to drowsy driving, however show a different impairment profile to younger adults, particularly in relation to oculometrics! Clare Anderson Dr Jessica Manousakis

While older adults are less likely to fall asleep, they show sleep-loss related attentional impairment that has important ramifications particularly for shift work - important translational work from Elly Francis-Pester from MonashSleepLab! Clare Anderson Dr Jessica Manousakis

Congratulations to Elly Francis-Pester for winning first place for Best Research Presentation Award 🥇 🏆 Such a great talk and very well deserved 👏🏽 @cogsleep CogSleep Academy #sleep #ageing #neuroscience

Some important systematic reviews: 😫😴 Dr Alix Mellor presenting key findings about CBT-I adherence 🚗💤 Anna Cai presenting subjective sleepiness and drowsy driving - am I sleepy?

Very happy to announce that my article looking at the impact of age on on-road driving impairment following sleep deprivation has been published in Scientific Reports! Access the article here: nature.com/articles/s4159… Great work from everyone involved!
