The female inspector today was heroic and acted extremely fast. Footage of her sprinting through the shopping centre by herself towards danger without any hesitation, while neutralising the threat, and presence of mind to administer first aid. She deserves a medal #BondiJunction .

Happy Adoption Day 🥰 4-years of touring the country together with Baxter. 🥰

Looking forward to facilitating this important topic - survivorship care to support people with treatable but not curable cancer.

Great to see our paper (@RayyChan, Prof Vivienne Milch, Dorothy Keefe) continuing the important conversation around cancer patient navigation and implementation. Global work in this space led by @RayyChan and the #GINO study through MASCC.

Our new and magnificent UTS UTS Health Exercise Physiology Clinic at Moore Park, overlooking Allianz Stadium, SCG, and parklands. It will soon welcome our Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology students, support impactful research, and welcome clinical clients! #Grateful .

For Valentines Day, as pure as Baxters love for milk, I had the pleasure of assessing #fellowship applications. So many extraordinary researchers. If anything, this process gives me major imposter syndrome. Australia’s health and medical future is, however, in good hands. #Talent

Also excited to be within the investigator team led by superstar @HannahRWardill supported by @MattIasiello and Melissa Cantley with the excellent #MyWELL program for people affected by Multiple Myeloma funded by #MRFF . Extremely important mental health program, with Be Well Co.

Excited to be part of the CI team for this magnificent project led by Anna Ugalde! Fantastic team of EMCR’s seeking to drive equitable cancer outcomes to rural and remote areas across Australia. A project that will make an impact! #MRFF COSA Cancer Australia UTS Health

Journals are overwhelmingly moving to “open access only” formats. While this is excellent for equitable access to consumers, it damages equitable access to publishing due to the exorbitant publishing fees. Thus, researchers with no funding are unable to publish in these journals.

World Cancer Day is upon us (4th Feb). Continuing the global theme of closing the care gap, I will continue to focus on cancer care and quality supportive care for all people affected by advanced or metastatic cancer (including caregivers). #WorldCancerDay #CloseTheCareGap .

Mini-academic milestone - Top 10 papers finally have >100 citations per paper, totaling >2265 citations between them. Of those, 6 original research, 3 narrative reviews, and 1 global study protocol. Interestingly, only 60% are Q1. Fallacy of Journal Impact Factors == valued work.

Today is Australia Day 🇦🇺. While I’m a proud Australian, I hope we change the date. 26th Jan 1788 was a horrific moment in time for our First Nations people. To celebrate modern Australia on this date is tragic. Let’s hope we find a Federal Government with moral conviction soon.

Things the #AusOpen must fix for next year: (1) for the love of whatever deity you worship, stop playing ‘Sweet Caroline’ during every extended break of every match, and (2) reverse the insane trial rule allowing fans to enter/exit stands following every game. #AusOpen  .
