If you know anyone who has had a #stroke or are connected to a network that could share this #research study with #strokesurvivors, could you please share?

Co-investigators: @RuthNBarker, @kate_hayward_, @AVERTtrial, @aliepea and A/Prof Robin Ray

Question for stroke survivors:

If offered a medication to improve physical recovery while you undertook stroke rehabilitation, what would influence your decision to take the medication or not?

If you have a perspective to share, please go to the survey: https://t.co/NRtbwLb5vP

A team of researchers has been awarded a $1 million Federal grant to develop and test portable brain imaging tools in air and road ambulances. @TheRMH's Prof Stephen Davis and @unimelb's Prof Geoffrey Donnan explain what the grant means to #stroke care in this video:

My condolences to all the experienced health reporters who would have loved the opportunity to do a long-form story about cannabis that has instead been done by a TV chef who once advocated staring into the sun.

@gillyminn @strokeCRE @HMRIAustralia @HNEHealth @Uni_Newcastle @UON_research @StrokeNsw Hi Gillian! Is this register primarily for people living in the Hunter region, or are you putting this call out Australia-wide? I’ve recently met some keen individuals with good ideas who are living their lives after stroke, I can spread the word if appropriate?

I always find it interesting to read why people are using social media for their work, and how they use it... this is quite a good thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️

[Jen Heemstra @jenheemstra]

Hey #ScienceTwitter friends! I’m writing a short guide for scientists who want to join Twitter. While the “how” is important, I think the “why” is even more so and I’d love to include some quotes from you!

In what ways do you benefit from being active on Twitter?

[Nerida Firth @NeridaFirth]

So many interesting questions resulting from the FOCUS RCT.... #RecoveryPromotingDrugs for #stroke

[Dr Terry Quinn💙 @DrTerryQuinn]

My thoughts on the FOCUS #stroke RCT shared in this editorial for Annals of Translation Medicine - like many good studies, FOCUS gives us some answers but also poses interesting new questions.

Front of house pill testing is a public health program for festival patrons, families and communities - driven by a commitment to "nothing for us without us" - and we agree it is the only option governments should be considering at this critical time https://t.co/iXAHUiSIEf
