I am pursuing a PhD at the Children's Cancer Institute aiming to develop new treatments for a rare cancer called inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour.

Hi everyone. We are recruiting a maternity leave cover for my role at the Children's Cancer Institute. It is a full time fixed term contract for a Work Health Safety and Assurance Officer. WHS qualification preferred but if you hav…https://t.co/Zlo6eT0ZeO https://t.co/32FI1hAYNh

@Eden_Robertson @SBSVoices Thanks Eden. So are you! I feel like anyone who's starting to take a look around in life and mind to figure out what they want, where they are and what's going to change deserves a medal. Sometimes it's easier to just carry on comfortable.

Proud to announce that my PhD was awarded @UNSWMedicine (and @KidsCancerInst) this week. Thank you to my family, friends, colleagues and supervisors who have supported me during this journey.

@Eden_Robertson @SBSVoices I am doing alright! I genuinely loved your article. I've started on a personal development journey myself recently. Im keeping Twitter for work but I'm posting on FB (ashall infor balance) and Instagram (ash_all_in_for_balance) to try and help others.

A devastating loss. Prof Tattersall was mums doctor & part of the story that brought me to cancer research. I had the privilege of meeting Prof only a few years ago. An incredible human being; gave so much to his patients & research/clinical communities. Rest in peace.

Thank you @KidsCancerInst for the support of our recent publication

@barasha_1 @AcademicChatter @OpenAcademics Use Outlook Calendar or something similar to plan out tasks and timing. If you do experiments its a great way to organise yourself to use incubation productively without accidentally overloading yourself

Thank you @CanTooRunSwim for supporting our work!

[Emmy Fleuren @EmmyFleuren]

An official and massive thank you to CanToo and their donors for their incredibly generous support; together we are battling these sarcomas and we could not do this without you!! @CanTooRunSwim @KidsCancerInst @AMFordham https://t.co/9AaIhKedxm

[Ashleigh Fordham @AMFordham]

An interesting read. Science has its challenges and they aren't always experiment related

[AAMRI @AAMRI_Aus]

Published today in The Australian, AAMRI President Prof Jonathan Carapetis talks about the rocky future of our early to mid-career researchers, made even more uncertain by COVID-19. Our govt must act now to ensure the careers of our best and brightest. https://t.co/Q1lYawUS4n

[Ashleigh Fordham @AMFordham]

@thekca Thank you KCA. The top up scholarship was so valuable - contributing to my progress in this work and towards conference opportunities. I will always be grateful for the support @thekca

[Ashleigh Fordham @AMFordham]

@EmmyFleuren Thanks Emmy! So happy to be on this journey with you - one day closer to new treatments for paediatric sarcomas @KidsCancerInst

[Ashleigh Fordham @AMFordham]

Thankful and proud to have published "CD30 and ALK combination therapy has high therapeutic potency in RANBP2-ALK rearranged Epithelioid Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Sarcoma" last week in @BrJCancer https://t.co/ozU3OLyCqp @KidsCancerInst

[Ashleigh Fordham @AMFordham]

Thanks for sharing this Aria. Lets get the word out in our scientific communities about this resource https://t.co/BCx5xr5olF

[Aria Ahmed-Cox @AriaAhmedCox]

Great to see open access databases for grant opportunities on a global scale in @nature #phdchat. Good to be strategic, but know too that you miss every opportunity you don't apply for.

[Ashleigh Fordham @AMFordham]

So proud to be participating in this research at @KidsCancerInst with @EmmyFleuren. Thank you @CanTooRunSwim for supporting this project.

[Emmy Fleuren @EmmyFleuren]

It's official: incredibly honoured and grateful to be the recipient of the Emerging Research Leader program grant, thanks to the generous support from @CanTooRunSwim! Let's do this!! @AMFordham @KidsCancerInst #sarcoma

[Ashleigh Fordham @AMFordham]

Attended a Q&A with @LewisLabMSKCC today. My favourite insight: Try to submit some sort of grant application within 6 months of becoming a postdoc, with the aim of gaining experience regardless of success. Thanks @KidsCancerInst for this opportunity!

[Ashleigh Fordham @AMFordham]

Looking forward to tuning in and learning more about the current clinical practices in sarcoma care and a view to the future in our field
