#FENS2022 was an amazing experience with some fantastic and motivating presentations. I have to admit, I am very relieved to stop wondering about which nearby person will infect me with COVID and give my brain some well-earned rest 🤯

No, it’s not like donating a kidney. But it is still a gift. Greg T Sutherland on how to donate your brain to science, who usually does it and what science (or researchers, specifically) will use your 🧠 for. bit.ly/3zpuUZs University of Sydney

It breaks my heart that doing the science we love can also be a cause of poor mental health, with grad students 6x more likely to have anxiety/depression and 47% surveyed PhD students meeting the depression diagnosis score. Important stats from Loretta White at #ISNAPSN2022

Only 10 days left! If you are interested in a #PhDposition on the #gutmicrobiome and #neurodegeneration #MJD, check out this ad mq.edu.au/research/phd-a…

We're recruiting! We need an RA to streamline histology, molecular biology & imaging. It's a funky position, shared 50:50 with our pals in the Neurobiology Lab in MQ School of Natural Sciences: you'll get skilled up on both rodent & fish neuroscience 🤯 seek.com.au/job/58407267

We are so thankful to Bec Lyons for her amazing fundraising efforts within Jewel Challenge ‘22 raising money for #mjd research with the MJD Foundation

I really hope UOW follows suit soon! #PhDs are the workhorses of research, yet our stipend is approx. $20,000 less P/A than the average Aussie apprenticeship wage. PhDs are full time jobs and should be recognised as such. #PhDchat #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter
