‘Women weren’t included in clinical trials until the 1990s. we make up 70% of chronic pain patients but 80% of pain medication is tested only on men.’ i will never stop yelling about this. doctors know less about us so they tell us it’s all in our head. theguardian.com/books/2019/sep…

We’re kicking off a brand-new webinar series with The Plant Journal 🧬🌱 Join us into the latest breakthroughs & challenges in plant engineering research. 📅 29 September 2025 ⏰ 17:00 CEST Hosted by Katherine Denby (Editor in Chief) us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regist… #PlantScience

30,000 hours of footage, equivalent to 3 years and 7 months, were filmed to capture the blooming of 77 types of flowers, and the result is spectacular.

A fascinating new preprint w/one very unexpected finding suggests, I believe, that a large proportion of Long Covid may be due to chronic infection in a particular bodily niche, which could be crucial for finding effective LC treatments. It requires some explaining. 🧵 1/33

Another first IRL meeting - with Steve Powes at #ShineDome25 Stephen Powles PhD FAA, FTSE / we may have met at a ComBio many years ago but got to know each other in the socials #PlantScience #herbicides

We’re thrilled to celebrate two Academy Fellows being awarded prestigious Australian Museum Eureka Prizes! Professor Thomas Maschmeyer of Sydney Science was awarded the UNSW Eureka Prize for Societal Impact in Science and Prof David Komander – part of PINK1 Parkinson's Disease

New research shows Long COVID and chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) share the same biological problem: their bodies struggle to use oxygen properly during exercise. Here's a full breakdown - and what it means.

Day 1 of the #PEPGWorkshop kicked off with inspiring talks on leaf gas exchange, fluorescence, water relations, roots & soil, and ecosystems 🌱✨ Afternoon = hands-on + networking!

Clean air is a no-brainer. Why doesn't it happen?

Reminds me of those posters about TB we used to have on Melbourne trams: "Forgotten but not gone"

Fun fact! The first finding (I could find) of abnormal skeletal muscle metabolism in ME/CFS was published in 1992. Later studies have refined that finding using more direct measurements and sophisticated methodologies, but this is something we’ve known about for a very long time.

We are hiring!! The Department of Entomology at Cornell University is seeking applications for a 9-month, full-time, tenure-track faculty position in Field Crops Entomology. This is an exciting opportunity to: Build an internationally recognized research & extension program in

We’re finalising the program for the first Safe Cassava interdisciplinary symposium on 27/28 October (evenings CET) - watch this space - hosted by Global Plant Council #cassava #cyanide #konzo #plantscience #neurology #foodsystems

A very useful summary, as usual.
