Fantastic to host the 2024 MEGASCORES retreat yesterday at @TheFlorey- MEGASCORES brings together a likeminded group of scientists, clinicians, consumers with the common purpose of transforming management of sepsis in intensive care units in Australia 🇦🇺 and worldwide 🌎

[Rachel Peiris @RachelPeiris]

It was an honour to be able to present the work from the first aim of my PhD at ASAN2024. Thank you to the organisers for the opportunity!

[Rachel Peiris @RachelPeiris]

I did it, I submitted my thesis and I can’t wait for what is yet to come!
I cannot express how thankful I am to all my supervisors for their support over the past 3 - 4 years, @Yugeesh_L @drlaura_cook @DrLinBooth Robin McAllen and Clive May.

13 September is #WorldSepsisDay. A day we raise awareness of the life-threatening condition that leads to 11 million global deaths each year.

[The Florey @TheFlorey]

Our research into sepsis is led by Prof @Yugeesh_L and Prof Clive May. We also chatted to PhD student @RachelPeiris about the impact of this disease and importance of this research.

[Rachel Peiris @RachelPeiris]

It is an honour to be part of a national team that is focused on improving #Sepsis treatment and patient outcomes.

I would like to show support to the work of #WorldSepsisDay.

If you would like to raise awareness too please go to https://t.co/fjYHNUn02Y.

[MEGASCORES Group - Transforming sepsis management @MEGASCORES2023]

We are MEGASCORES and we support #WorldSepsisDay.

#Sepsis accounts for ~11 million deaths worldwide annually. Yet, depending on country/educational status, sepsis is known only to 7 – 50% of people.

Today let’s bring awareness to this silent killer.

Yesterday I successfully completed my PhD oration @TheFlorey.
I can’t thank the Florey executives, my supervisors, PhD advisory committee, lab, family and friends enough for being there to support me!

[Rachel Peiris @RachelPeiris]

Thank you @TheFlorey Postdoctoral Association for organising a great workshop with amazing speakers!

Top tips:
1. It’s never too early to prepare for grants. Work at hitting the metrics
2. Talking out what you want to write can improve readability
3. Digitalise your track record

@AVBS_org for organising such a thought provoking conference.

Thanks for all the support @Yugeesh_L @AshenafiBetrie @valliancecon @atraskmarino @HailuJufar!

[Yugeesh Lankadeva @Yugeesh_L]

Very proud of our ⭐️ @TheFlorey PhD student, @RachelPeiris, for publishing her 1st PhD chapter in @ICMexperimental on how blocking nerve signals from the 🧠 to the gut can enhance bacterial clearance. Rachel is now looking at drugs targeting this mechanism for sepsis @aipolsci

[Rachel Peiris @RachelPeiris]

The first chapter of my PhD has been published. I am excited to share with you the work I have been doing in trying to reverse immunosuppression during Sepsis. Thank you @Yugeesh_L for all your support! @TheFlorey

[The Florey @TheFlorey]

Florey PhD student @RachelPeiris reveals the effects of blocking signaling from nerves that control the functions of the gut and pelvic organs during sepsis may pave the way forward for rapidly clearing live bacteria from the bloodstream during sepsis 👇 https://t.co/77m5oyTIJJ

@drlaura_cook @TheFlorey @Yugeesh_L @TheDohertyInst Thanks @drlaura_cook and @Yugeesh_L! I couldn’t have done it without brilliant supervisors.
