Thanks Mary-Anne Thomas MP Vic Minister for Health AND Medical Research for meeting our amazing patient advocate Jo McNeill and our #silicosis team Claudia Sim Paris Papagianis and Simon Royce today Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute - we welcome your ongoing support! #LookAfterYourLungs 🫁

Politics and science don’t mix. It’s time for change theage.com.au/politics/feder… Great editorial raising legitimate concerns off the back of Liam Mannix's investigation into the MRFF - which has been jokingly called the Medical Research Friends Fund

Can’t wait to see Paris Paris Papagianis in the Falling Walls final next Monday on improving screening for #silicosis - part of our team Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute working to improve outcomes from this preventable but currently incurable dust disease Centre of Research Excellence -Pulmonary Fibrosis Lung Foundation Australia

Today I’m presenting my pitch about protecting Australian workers from the devastating occupational lung disease, silicosis, to the Australian Academy of Science Australian Academy of Science ! You can tune in live via the QR code

What a fabulous experience to present my work on Dangerous Dust in the Workplace at the Australian Academy of Science

Another example of misinformation pushed by company sponsors of The Block - EVEN LOW SILICA engineered stone is HARMFUL and a risk to workers lives

This deadly disease should be relegated to the dustbin of history. Instead, it’s surging smh.com.au/national/this-…

So good to see companies taking it upon themselves to create safe working environments for workers

Such an important article about academic culture!

Our team show inflammation before birth and steroids after birth does not reduce ventilator requirements, but has maturational impacts on the lungs of preterm lambs. rdcu.be/dtfs7

Federal, state and territory workplace ministers meet today to discuss a ban of engineered stone REMEMBER 1 in 4 workers engineered stone workers with #silicosis There is no safe amount of silica in engineered stone that doesn’t pose a health risk to workers

Such fantastic news for those who have been part of this long campaign to ban engineered stone and STOP future #silicosis cases !

this will change lives

Our team at Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute are developing new ways to screen for silicosis disease ! lens.monash.edu/@medicine-heal… #MonashLens

Big day for Paris Papagianis from Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute….. Awarded an American Thoracic Society (ATS) International Travel Scholarship and Asian Pacific Society of Respirology Young Investigator Award at #ATS2024 in San Diego - congratulation Paris, our lab is so proud of you! 👏👏👏

In case people missed Einstein A Go Go on 3rrrfm today you can catch up via the streaming link below. We had 3 amazing guests - Bernadette Jones-Freeman Paris Papagianis and Rachel Kirby all from Monash University. What a privilege to interview them all! rrr.org.au/explore/progra…

Thank you Dr Shane Huntington OAM for having me on Einstein A Go Go this morning ! It is so important to continue to raise awareness around #silicosis. The concept that silicosis will disappear with a ban on engineered stone is a naive one ….

Thank you to Chiesi Group TSANZ and ARLDSC 2024 for the opportunity to present research from our team at #RespiratoryPharmacolgy and for this award! I’m incredibly grateful.
