Join us to explore the connection between genetics and environmental factors, such as stress, in mental health outcomes and how we, as a society, could be doing more to reduce the burden on families and communities. online/in person: https://t.co/zX21s6AOw1

Enjoy this yarn!!! Absolutely awesome.

How does so much genetic material, which we know is linked with behaviour and psychological disorders, fit into our teeny tiny nuclei in our teeny tiny cells...? Tik tok GO!

The spring sunshine is out - what a beautiful day to be back at Flinders Fertility for our FEEL study again! We hope you are all having a lovely day!

This thread is about our lab's latest paper, out in Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews today. Hold on tight, it's a few tweets long...!

1/8. Scars of childhood socioeconomic stress: A systematic review - https://t.co/JCDTwUFrzG
I love that 1st PhD paper feeling we get for our students. This reflects the hard work & persistence of @natashamwood15!
(w/ @ThomasTrebilco @NurtureOfNature)
...So what did we find?...

[Behavioural GEMs Lab @behgems]

After a necessary covid-hiatus, we were so pleased to be back in the clinic last week speaking to wonderful patients at Flinders Fertility, recruiting for our FEEL study! If you have given us your time - thank you; if you are heading in- look out for us!

@NurtureOfNature is very excited about this collaboration with these amazing teams..... can't wait to get started!

[A/Prof Lyndsey Collins-Praino @lyndseypraino]

@CANDL_neuro, @TheCNSLab and @BehGEMs are interested in how motor subtype influences cognition. This preprint looks at how risk alleles for #Parkinsons may affect motor presentation. @LabShulman, it would be interesting to think about cognitive symptoms as well. Let’s chat?

[Behavioural GEMs Lab @behgems]

STEAM integrates STEM with art - yesterday we were privileged to collaborate with the amazingly talented actor @GlynnTNicholas! We are creating an educational video with @NurtureOfNature & our Honours student, also an exceptional artist! Watch this space for the outcome...!

[Behavioural GEMs Lab @behgems]

We keep saying we will be better at tweeting, this will be a good opportunity with our own @NurtureOfNature being told she has to tweet! :)

[EMCR Brain Science Network @EMCRBrainAu]

Hi Twitter, I am Sarah Cohen-Woods (@NurtureOfNature) from @Flinders (@FlindersEPSW @OramaMH) and I will be tweeting all things #stress #genetics #epigenetics #intergenerational and #transgenerational this week from sunny #Adelaide. @EMCRBrainAU @ACNS_Official @BrainAllianceAu

Congratulations to our Tall Poppies for 2019! — Dr Oren Griffiths and A/Prof Sarah Cohen-Woods, seen here with SA Governor Hieu Van Le AC @TallpoppiesAIPS

[Behavioural GEMs Lab @behgems]

Well that's a little bit exciting - finalists for SA Tall Poppy of the Year

As scientists it is our job to push back against questionable views that do not fit scientific evidence...

[Sarah Cohen-Woods @NurtureOfNature]

1/2 As scientists we have been told that responding to "science denialists" is useless, with little hope of changing views, and a risk of reinforcement. New research demonstrates this is not the case - when we hear bad opinion we should rebut. This is our responsibility! Papers..

[Behavioural GEMs Lab @behgems]

Ethical considerations in neuroscience - discuss! Just published is a paper providing a framework for Australian brain scientists which A/Prof Cohen-Woods as part of the @EMCRBrainAu: A Neuroethics Framework for the Australian Brain Initiative https://t.co/qh0bHosGDI

A little slow to let you know (because we like suspense....). Congratulations to the winner of the SA Brain Bee!!! Fantastic! @wilderness1884 #brainbee

[CAIN @CAIN_Lab]

Team Champions from SA Brain Bee! Huge congratulations to Wilderness and Gleeson, who with a combine team, came through with the win 🎉 @lyndseypraino @NurtureOfNature

Where's the boss today...?

[Sarah Cohen-Woods @NurtureOfNature]

Learning about social media at our research retreat - so I thought I should "do" social media... Particularly loving the idea about reaching those that don't traditionally get access to science - great point @OrenGriffiths with
