Loving seeing what everyone’s been busy with for their PhD & Masters journeys at the #MCCStudentSymposium! COVID has limited a lot of those incidental catch ups that keep us grad researchers in touch, however this weeks Symposium has been great to reconnect & share! @UniMelbMDHS
Beautiful talks by @SashOdoi & @DrAliceBaker1, two 1st yr PhD students kicking goals at the #MCCStudentSymposium! Sasha spoke about Australian compliance with infant feeding advice & Alice spoke of prevention of childhood snoring #WomenInSTEM @UniMelbMDHS @MCRI_for_kids

An important piece of the covid response equation: prioritising the vaccination of teachers, early educators & school staff. A step to truly bolster opportunity and reality of children getting back to school sooner.

As an early (junior) researcher it often feels naive & silly to pull the “I do this because I want to make a difference” card.But really, that should always be at the core of the research process. Feeling very inspired & humbled for my research journey ahead. Thanks @cglennbegley

Fascinating paper by one of our amazing PhD students @victoriaxsh @PopAllergy
Saliva, tap water, boiling water? A study reports that persistent, repeated cleaning of an infant’s pacifiers with chemical antiseptic over the first 6 months may increase the risk of food allergy development by the age of 1 year. bit.ly/3cBMtuT
