Clinicians need to be aware of this, though the evidence is mostly about environmental and system reform #WONCASydney2023

Awesome to hear about the innovative GP led respiratory clinics & vax centre from @DrMukeshH

Particularly promising to hear about the twice-daily staff briefings that were needed to keep up with evolving guidance! GP innovation and community health at its finest #WONCASydney2023

At @WoncaWorld hands down the most wholesome conference with a giant room of 4000 GPs from around the world doing a guided meditation followed by singing? Adorable #WONCASydney2023

38 years ago today the Hawke Labor Government handed Uluru back to its traditional owners, the Anangu people.

Thanks to decades of struggles and activism, this special part of Australia is now jointly managed by the local community and Parks Australia - ensuring Traditional Owners can care for the land they have been custodians of for generations.

Honoured to hear the incredible Pat Anderson speak at #AustPH2023 on the Uluru Statement & effects of the post-truth era on democracy. Inform yourself on the voice - “in the isolation of the voting booth, you will be alone with your conscience” @tennetin

When is the use of suboptimal treatment in functionally untreatable multi-drug resistant tuberculosis morally permissible? Great article by former Uehiro Centre BMedSci and Masters student @chavyarora https://t.co/2YN3Vwz9JJ

🌏 MDR-TB is a significant global threat
💊 Resistance patterns or supply chain issues may make guidelines difficult to apply

It’s not *that* simple. Weight loss is determined by calorie deficit. But our ability to adhere to behaviours that incur calorie deficits - our hunger drive for one - are influenced by complex interplay of factors, including hormonal ones that may be unique to individuals.

Skimmed through my PhD lab notebook one last time this week - almost brought me into tears. My lab notebook is like a diary of grad school, recorded all the raw emotions, and also how often my experiments failed. Like, most of the time actually and it was pretty hard lol. 🥲🥲🥲
