Good desk company this morning.

Was an absolute pleasure to chat with Dr Shane Huntington OAM and share my research + promote Day of Immunology on Einstein A Go Go this morning!

Thanks everyone! Have a wonderful Sunday and see you next week for #20phds20mins 🎉

Poetry is a wonderful way to approach science communication and can inspire people to be interested in science #science iseverywhere #3RRRFM #science

Interpretation and collaboration are important to creating poetry #science iseverywhere #3RRRFM #science

Researching, talking to scientists and celebrating curiosity is part of Alicia’s process when writing her poetry #science iseverywhere #3RRRFM #science

Being the artist in the room: “it’s really quite scary… [but scientists] are so welcoming.” #science iseverywhere #3RRRFM #science

“It’s amazing that we come together as a community around the world” #science iseverywhere #3RRRFM #science

Alicia’s new poetry book, Stellar Atmospheres, focuses on her passion for science, physics and women in physics (Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin & more), the history of science communication, her battle with breast cancer and a glimpse at nuclear medicine #scienceiseverywhere #3RRRFM

Joining us now in the studio is Alicia Sometimes, writer, broadcaster and poet #science iseverywhere #3RRRFM #science

There’s a lot more work to go, but scientists are positive for the future of this research! #science iseverywhere #3RRRFM #science

CAR T cell therapy in childhood leukaemia has been a successful treatment. Scientists are looking to expand this therapy into a range of childhood brain cancers, including DMG #science iseverywhere #3RRRFM #science

Our immune systems are incredibly good at recognising cancers in the body. Scientists are trying to clone and fuse this natural ability to redirect T cells and fight cancers #science iseverywhere #3RRRFM #science

The only current proven treatment for DMG is radiotherapy #science iseverywhere #3RRRFM #science

Diffuse Midline Glioma (DMG) is a rare but lethal paediatric brain tumour. It has a median survival of 1 year and less than 10% of cases survive past 2 years #science iseverywhere #3RRRFM #science

Day of Immunology is on 29 April 2024 #science iseverywhere #3RRRFM #science

Celebrate the International Day of Immunology with an array of events, including a live forum: immunology.org.au/news-and-event… #science iseverywhere #3RRRFM #science

Joining us now is Dr Alexander Davenport, Postdoctoral Research Fellow and Paediatric Brain Cancer Lead in the Jenkins Lab at WEHI #science iseverywhere #3RRRFM #science

We’re in the golden age of immunology!
