Today - critical care helicopter retrievals. Tomorrow, Oceans to Outback challenge starts. I aim to run 100km in October. Thank you for all those who have donated to support the work we do at RFDS. For those who wish to, there is still time to help. oceanstooutback.org.au/fundraisers/An…

Three days in, 26km down, 74km to go. Already $2100 raised with $400 to go for the RFDS Oceans to Outback challenge! oceanstooutback.org.au/fundraisers/An…

Wow! Today's run along the river has got me to 55km! Now only 45km to go and only 9 days in!! And our team has raised $2000!! Appreciate the incredible support you have given the RFDS during the Oceans to Outback challenge thus far. oceanstooutback.org.au/fundraisers/An…

An amazing week catching up with old friends and colleagues, whilst also making new connections! Thank you ACRRM and #RMA22! In between, I've kept up the running, with 74km down and only $22 left to raise for the RFDS! oceanstooutback.org.au/fundraisers/An…

Team work! It is super vital to what we do in country health. Our little team has almost hit our distance goal, but smashed our fundraising goal, with over $3k raised! However there is still time to support the RFDS on the Oceans to Outback challenge! oceanstooutback.org.au/fundraisers/Te…

We did! Together we have crossed the Karman line and run over 100km for the month and smashed our fundraising goal - with over 45 donations for a total of $3188. Thank you to everyone for your support for the work we do at the Royal Flying Doctor Service. oceanstooutback.org.au/fundraisers/Te…

No way!! So saying that I can't have my morning espresso before I fly???

After two weeks of high pressure, all done with the Fiona Stanley Hyperbaric and Diving Medicine course! Wonderful meeting everyone, seeing old friends and colleagues. Plus thanks to SPUMS faculty for making it a highly informative and fun course.

Couldn't make it up north, but still got a good show of the eclipse here in the outback!

Couldn't make the @Aero_Med conference, but did get published this week in its journal. Thanks Dr Vi and Li Shean Toh for your efforts on getting our review out there! ingentaconnect.com/content/asma/a…

Lucky to visit to the @ESA Space Operations Centre in Darmstadt today. Amazing to see the incredible work they do. Thank you and good luck for the Euclid launch next week!

Week 2 of the Principles of Aerospace Medicine course with UTMB Aerospace Medicine. So far been a joy to learn from leaders in the field, including pilot health, future tech to challenges of spaceflight and becoming an interplanetary species. Can't wait for the final week in Houston!

Astronaut Scott Kelly once smuggled a full gorilla suit aboard the International Space Station. He didn't tell anyone about it. One day, without anyone knowing, he put it on.

Six years ago I was in Melbourne, learning about space medicine for the first time. Now I am here on the Australasian Society of Aerospace Medicine Humans in Space course as assisting faculty. Great to hear Robert Thirsk once again speak with such passion about his two voyages to orbit.

A big thank you to our international and Australian faculty for supporting our 2023 Humans in Space workshop in Hobart. A huge three day program of space life sciences content, highlighting current capabilities and issues in space flight, and future opportunities for Australia 🇦🇺

A great opportunity to welcome our international colleagues to Tasmania and share some insights into Australia’s advanced medical capabilities in Antarctica and the parallels for healthcare of astronauts in long duration spaceflight CARMM Australian Space Agency

In a landmark signing today, Australia & the United States have formalised a Technology Safeguards Agreement. The treaty level agreement will enable US companies to carry out space launch activities on Australian soil & protect US space technology. More: industry.gov.au/news/australia…

Getting out for some instrument training!

Amazing day learning to drysuit dive in Milford Sound NZ with Grace. And rocking our Australasian Wilderness & Expedition Medicine Soc. dry bag!

Goodbye appendix. Today marks my first day with antarctica.gov.au and the start of my preparation to overwinter at Davis Station for next season. Why the elective appendectomy? There is no evacuation possible or another doc on station to do it midwinter should I get appendicitis
