Honest, humorous and powerful presentation by Dr Gary Morrison on being an LGBTIQA cancer patient. Take home for clinicians: 1. Ask patients about their sexuality (it’s rarely done and important). 2. Data collection on sexuality is new and necessary. #COSA22

Geneticist here. You can’t make facial profiles or accurate pigmentation predictions from DNA, and this is dangerous snake oil.

Goodness - this is a popular position. I'm going to provide a bit more info so you can decide if it is right for you! First, the big drawcard for me (if I was applying for postdocs) is the potential for impact. This project is well-funded (thx funders) and very applied, 1/7
We are hiring! Post-doc position available in our team to work on a new project exploring exercise as medicine for children living with chronic conditions. seek.com.au/job/58718932

mentored by someone who also has lived experience (i.e, me). If you are thinking about applying please make sure that you have an understanding of why consumer involvement/PPI in research is important! Also, its important to note that there is a lot of hands-on research and 5/7
