I'm thrilled to share that the final article of my PhD thesis has just been published in Sports Medicine and Health Science! ๐ง ๐ช This study investigates whether tDCS can amplify the pain-reducing effects of exercise. You can read the article here: https://t.co/pjxEyxA0xv

tDCS produces an electrical current to manipulate neural activity. Is there a possibility that it influences the brain via other mechanisms? @AidanLewis_ brand new publication investigates this possibility. Congrats Aidan! ๐ง โก

#2023Wrapped What a year it's been for the @ActiveBrainUC team. We've grown so much and have enjoyed sharing every moment together! We'll be back in 2024 to do it all again โ๐ผ
Grateful for the incredible opportunity to present my poster at the @abs_society conference this weekend! ๐โจ It was an enriching experience to share insights, connect with fellow researchers, and dive deep into the latest advancements in brain stimulation. #ABSSconference
A day of firsts and PBs across the board for our @ActiveBrainUC and @UC_RISE staff and students who completed the Canberra Times Fun Run yesterday. Congratulations team! ๐ ๐
We're #psyched that PhD student @AidanLewis_ attended the NSANZ conference last week and presented the findings of his study examining the effects of tDCS on BBB permeability in healthy adults! ๐จ๐ฝโ๐ซ

Thrilled to have been selected to present a poster at the NSANZ annual scientific meeting this year. It was an immense privilege to share my findings with such a knowledgeable audience. Huge thanks to the NSANZ organizing committee for this incredible opportunity. #NSANZ2023
MeetOurTeam: @AidanLewis__ has spent the last five months collecting data. Before he finishes his PhD, we thought it would be a great time to introduce him ! Aidan is interested in optimising #tDCS for the enhancement of exercise performance ๐ง โก๏ธ
This time last week, one of our Active Brain team lost her brother and sister in law in the Hunter Valley bus accident. They leave behind two young boys. If you have the means & would like to show your support, please consider donating at the link below.

Ever wondered how many symptoms make up all of adult psychopathology described in the DSM-5? Itโs 628!
How many do you think repeat across multiple diagnoses? If you answered 231 symptoms repeating a total of 1022 times (median 3 times per symptom, range 2-22), good job!

A really important topic coming into the NSW election this week. We need invest in transport infrastructure for an ageing population. - not just building some new train lines in Sydney.
Regardless of the election outcome, NSW's elderly face four more years of a lack of commitment to keeping them mobile.
As @AidanLewis__ and Loire Hunter write, a lack of mobility contributes to increased morbidity in older people. Action is needed now.

A more opinionated piece written by a colleague and I about proposed healthcare reform that continues to fall below the mark of what we deserve as an ageing nation.
OPINION | Without change, residential aged care will morph into a substandard backstop for the nationโs acute care system. And either we, or the people we care for, will have a system no longer fit for purpose.
