Academics are fighting the mental-health crisis in science with "unique initiatives", such as: - Mindfulness and meditation courses - Mental health webinars - Painting bootcamps - Yoga workshops What else should we try?

2023 Mollie Holman Award for Best Doctoral Thesis - Faculty of Engineering We warmly congratulate Dr Farin Yazdan Parast who has received this prestigious award, one of the highest academic honours Monash bestows, marking her as a researcher of the highest order. #monashMAE

Congratulations to Sahar on her paper Advanced Intelligent Systems, pioneering an ensemble learning model for classifying live, unstained human sperm using whole-cell morphology with a record-breaking 94% accuracy 🎊 Monash Engineering Monash Uni - Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Monash University #MonashIVF doi.org/10.1002/aisy.2…

The first official experiment Giovanni Polverino and I did @ School of Biological Sciences, Monash, Bob Wong lab with an amazing group of people: Farin Yp Gabriela C. Melo Hung Tan James & Reza Nosrati is out now! We think it opened new research avenues in ecotoxicology. Read the full paper below👇🏾

Congratulations to Upama Aich, Bob Wong and the team on this important work on #ecotoxicology 🌏Journal of Animal Ecology 🎉! It was a wonderful #interdisciplinary collaboration and I’m thrilled to be a part of it! 🙌 Monash Uni - Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Monash Engineering

Thrilled to share our paper in Nature Communications💫🎉, led by Melati🎖️, revealing the crucial role of tubal fluid #viscosity in the development of the reproductive tract, where #fertilization happens! Monash University Monash Engineering Max Gong doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

M+AE Pinnacle Seminar (Round 4) featuring #MelatiAbdulHalim Melati's compelling research focuses on the complex biofluidmechanics of the reproductive tract, exploring how they influence epithelial cell development & sperm motion to advance fertility treatments. #monashMAE

Thrilled to share the clinical validation of our cutting-edge SpermGuide Technology for sperm selection in IVF 🎉 This milestone brings us one step closer to advavce ART with enhanced precision and outcomes for patients. read here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… RBMOnline NeoGenix Biosciences

Research leads #MelatiSuhailaAbdulHalim & #DrRezaNosrati of Applied Microfluidics & Bioengineering (AMB) Lab find fluid viscosity in female reproductive tract helps modify cells lining fallopian tubes to facilitate transport of eggs for fertilisation. nature.com/articles/s4146…

🇦🇺 Aussie researchers are using a #biomimetic #microfluidic sperm-sorter to isolate healthier #sperm for #IVF, selecting those with lower #DNAfragmentation and #highermotility. 🧬 This could improve #embryoquality, boost implantation rates, and reduce #miscarriage risks.✨

Great way to close the week with a group pizza lunch 🍕 catching up with Yuen, one of our alumni back from Malaysia 🇲🇾, and reviewing a paper on using segmentation for classifying histology images 🔬. Have a great weekend and semester break, everyone! 🎉 Monash Engineering
