A concerning development in education fraud: the exploitation of intellectual property (IP) systems for manipulating individual and institutional academic reputations...IP mills now added to the list of deceptive practices similar to paper and diploma mills😢

Ongoing discussion in my household. 31% of young Australians believe it’s fine to suntan and 74% don't think they are at risk of skin cancer. Yet 2 in 3 Australians will be diagnosed in their lifetime, & 1 person dies every 6 hours! https://t.co/bs4jAfpONB

19% of Australians don’t wash their hands every time they use the toilet!

Frightening research - we need to be thinking about our children's brains much more when it comes to sport. #concussion #brainbank

[Concussion & CTE Foundation @ConcussionCTEfn]

BREAKING NEWS: 20-year-old NRL rookie Keith Titmuss is the youngest Australian to be diagnosed with CTE. He started playing rugby at age 5.

Dr. Michael Buckland with the Australian Sports Brain Bank, a member of the CLF Global Brain Bank, says the finding should be a “wake-up call” to parents, and encourage sporting codes to strengthen concussion protocols and reduce contact in training.

We thank the Titmuss family for donating Keith’s brain to advance research and inspire action to #EndCTE.

Fascinating this has come up as we're researching why Australians might not adhere to medical advice, &/or use complementary medicine. If you're interested, the link for the survey: https://t.co/ufCg9rMK3l
My other post has more info too. #health #openscience #Australia

Wow - 60 Year old Former Supermodel Elle McPherson refused the advice of 32 Doctors & rejected Chemotherapy for Breast Cancer.

Good or bad decision?

Findings are relevant for universities/ academics involved in collaboration, industry partners engaging with universities & those seeking to promote the support of academic pathways that recognise successful collaboration.

Academics in our study had experience in industry & displayed entrepreneurial qualities, including high-level communication & relationship management skills. Their leadership was necessary to unite parties & ensure internal and external processes aligned.
