.Adil Khan has not seen The Martian. But his UWA Research is helping to ensure that when human beings do reach Mars, they will have a better time of it than Matt Damon's Mark Watney 🚀 Dr Khan is based at Australian Research Council centres @Plants4Space & Plant Energy Biology within Molecular Sci-UWA 🌌

How to Generate New Neurons in the Brain After discovering the importance of cell metabolism in neurogenesis, researchers were able to increase the number of neurons in the brains of adult and elderly mice. #neuroscience #science neurosciencenews.com/matabolism-neu…

Quantum entanglement suggests that particles can be connected in ways that defy classical physics. Some theories propose that our brains may access this phenomena, which could have implications for human intuition and consciousness. #QuantumPhysics #Entanglement #Intuition

Join students and staff from UWA and Perron Institute at ScitechWA on Sunday, 19 March from 11-3 for some fun activities for #BrainAwarenessWeek. Discover the wonders of the brain and why it's so important. Activities are included in the cost of your ticket to Scitech.

Celebrating today the successful PhD viva from the wonderful now Dr Tarawneh Hadeel Tarawneh َ @KadyJBraack Jack Zimdahl UWA School of Human Sciences #neuroscience #electrophysiology

Professor Samar Aoun, WA Australian of the Year 2023 and Perron Institute Research Chair in Palliative Care at UWA, will give a free public talk, "Growing Compassion in Life and Death", on Tuesday 2 May at The Boulevard Centre, Floreat. Book here: ow.ly/3Xns50NzpOU

Forget about #ChatGPT and #AI one minute and look at this. There's NO BETTER computer out there. We seem so focused on #AI but there's BIG untapped potential to be discovered in the human #brain... Imagine this were the Century of the Neurosciences #neuroscience #Neuro

Microinjection of dye in a single neuron in the neocortex! #FluorescentFwednesday #neuroscience

CONGRATS to our 2023 UWA Three Minute Thesis winners & participants! 🥇Winner Maitri Tomar - Giving the brain a 2nd chance 🥈Runner up Claire Doll - Are greenspaces too green? Our inspiring participants presented a huge variety of topics. Check them out research.uwa.edu.au/events/3mt-2023

Exciting research from Johns Hopkins suggests this noninvasive electrical stimulation treatment may offer lasting relief for 90% of patients. #ChronicPain #Healthcare #Research bit.ly/43SfV7B

Congratulations to PhD student Maitri Tomar, who won the UWA 3 Minute Thesis competition, pictured with her supervisors, Prof Bruno Meloni and Assoc Prof Jennifer Rodger, at an awards event at UWA last week. Her presentation was titled "Giving the Brain a Second Chance".

Oh, what a delightful surprise! Finding out that the current PhD advisor of one of my friends just became a Nobel laureate fills me with joy! 🥳🥳

Our new Perspective on non-invasive brain stim (particularly rTMS) is out! Explore how recent research shows plasticity, network, and cell-type specific mechanisms & how to leverage animal studies to refine our understanding and application of rTMS/tES. journals.lww.com/nrronline/full…

Great to see the work of Assoc Prof Jennifer Rodger and the Brain Plasticity Research Group at #MSResearchConf2023, MS Australia UWA UWA Research

Congratulations to Samuel Richards, the WA state winner, who won the National Brain Bee Competition at the Australian Neuroscience Society conference in Brisbane today! Pictured with Emeritus Professor Charles Watson AM #ANS2023. Well done, Sam!! 🏆🏆

In science, brilliance alone isn't enough! An average scientist with stellar communication skills can outshine a super-intelligent but communication-challenged counterpart. It is not just what you know, but how well you convey it to others that matters! 🌐🧠

It is always some combination of these 3 though 😭

Completely in awe!

There is absolutely no 'one size fits all' thing here!
