"Our results reveal that whenever handwriting movements are included as a learning strategy, more of the brain gets stimulated, resulting in the formation of more complex neural network connectivity...typewriting do[es] not activate...networks the same way that handwriting does."

[Comm-it Australia (science communication) @commitAUS]

This is a very useful and considered thread. It does make me terribly sad that it is information that still requires sharing.

[Foundation for the WA Museum @foundation_wam]

Johannes Debler, a molecular biologist representing @CurtinUni and @theCCDM, is the winner of the FameLab Australia 2024 science communication competition. The @BakerResearchAu’s biomedical engineer Auriane Drack and the @UTSEngage's reproductive biologist Claire Richards were named runners-up.

At the risk of having my DMs blow up with messages, I'm looking for some guests for @einstein_agogo on @3RRRFM to round out the calendar until the end of the year. Specifically, PhDs, EMCRs in STEM are most welcome. Give me a yell, in particular if you have never done radio before.

[Comm-it Australia (science communication) @commitAUS]

Congratulations Ash!

Pretty stoked to win an ASBMB poster prize at @bmh2024Melb, alongside fellow eye CRISPR PhD candidate and friend Lachi Staker 🧬✂️👀
