Great to join the @RoyalSocietyVic Emerging Scientists Network (ESN) for their inaugural Meet and Greet with STEM Industries and Employers. With a friendly welcome from RSV President @robgell, the ESN hosted speakers from @CSIRO, Alluvium Group, @illumina and @RaygenResources.

Finally, a huge thanks to the students leading the ESN: Bronte Holt, Brendan Cohen, Leloba Jefferis and Alexander Mahoney. This is a wonderful initiative which speaks to the unique circumstances of university students at the moment.

After having spent half of my undergraduate degree online during COVID lockdowns (2 of 4 years!), it was fantastic to have another opportunity to connect with like-minded students. I look forward to seeing what comes next! #FutureLeaders #EmergingScientists #Networking

There’s no beating around the bush – the result hurts. Our number one priority must be looking out for each other. Let's be gentle on ourselves & others. We’re mob. We’ve been here for more than 60,000 years & we’re not going anywhere. We are strong, resilient & deadly.

I feel a deep sense of shame and grief tonight with millions of other Australians who voted #YES today. Imagine what First Nations People are feeling now. We have failed them today. We must redouble our efforts for Voice, Treaty & Truth. #Referendum2023 #Referendum #VoteYes

There’s some inspiring #BiomedicalResearch happening at the @PeterMacCC and I saw a bunch of it at the Research Retreat last week!
What an exceptional first day we've had at the Peter Mac Research Retreat today - there have been speeches, panels, round-table networking and even "speed dating" where our people got to ask questions to any other department in the research division. Bring on day two tomorrow!

My supervisor Dr @SuadMAbdirahman presented a poster on developing patient-derived #OvarianCancer organoid and xenograft models (which I’ve had the amazing chance to learn about and help with). With these, we hope to help open the door to #PersonalisedMedicine.

Huge thanks to the organising committee, and A/Prof @kylie_gorringe who invited me to stay in the Gorringe Lab as a research assistant. It’s been incredibly valuable to see real-life research beyond my university studies!

Eye-opening insights and inspiration from the International Day of Women and Girls in Science panel hosted by @VicParliament today. There was fantastic discussion from change-makers regarding possible improvements to current policy around STEM. #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEM

Leading the panel was @natashamitchell, @ABCscience journalist and presenter. While guiding interesting conversation, she added her own reflections, including that studying science gave her the toolset to face a range of challenges (including interviewing the Dalai Lama!).
