Convergence Science Network

We promote public awareness of advances in the biomedical sciences shaping the future of healthcare. Also deliver the annual @GCOration.

So privileged to have #RobertLanger share his incredible story of #impact with us in #Melbourne...

[Graeme Clark Oration @GCOration]

An exceptional #gco2024 from an exceptional science leader #RobertLanger @MIT. Every success in scientific endeavour has a story and Dr Langer's is inspiring. Positive messages for any budding scientist. View it here https://t.co/qjmBF0Ng9Z #bioengineering #impact #scicomm

[Convergence Science Network @ConverSci]

Excited to announce #RobertLanger @MIT will deliver 2024 @GCO on 12 November. Superstar #scientist #entrepreneur #mentor will showcase key advances from his 40+ years at #MIT. Seats limited, registration is free https://t.co/XTaIxmlBrg #bioengineering #therapeutics #innovation

#SuperIp event kicks off discussing #STEM and #IPLaw for ⁦@MonashTS⁩ students. Big thanks to ⁦@pofip⁩ for hosting. #scicomm #career

Removing journalists as "gate keepers" of information, @ConversationEDU gives space for scientists to speak for themselves. Scientists then don't need to worry about being taken out context or distilling their message to 10 secs.
@Fronj talks about how this builds #TrustInBiomed.

[Convergence Science Network @ConverSci]

The scientific process is a standard way of addressing a question.
Prof Pasricha @WEHI_research discusses how we hold researchers accountable to what they publish: journals scrutinising original images, uploading raw data to the web, & maybe even publishing fails. #TrustInBiomed

[Convergence Science Network @ConverSci]

"It was a frightening time for all of us - clinicians, scientists & the public" - Prof Sant-Rayn @WEHI_research

But then, as we quickly sequenced the virus genome, rapidly generated data and learned more, he was excited to see the scientific community come together.

[Convergence Science Network @ConverSci]

As a behavioural scientist, Dr Goodwin @BehaviourWorksA looked at #TrustInBiomed during COVID. Inadequate comms about how we developed vaccines so quickly when it usually takes longer, definitive answers when we were still learning, & politicising health contributed to distrust.

[Convergence Science Network @ConverSci]

Our discussion of public trust in the biomedical sciences is now under way.

Dr Denise Goodwin @BehaviourWorksA, Prof Sant-Rayn Pasricha @WEHI_research & @Fronj address how we can instil #TrustInBiomed.

Missed yesterday's @WomeninBiomed event with @DrClareFedele and @CognitiveTx? Watch it here - https://t.co/AqoagDIKlS A big thanks to @CatrionaNR for hosting this inspiring and worthwhile discussion. @CSL @BionicsInst #Womninscience #scicomm

[Convergence Science Network @ConverSci]

@CognitiveTx A lack of #diversity in #science is dangerous so created BrainStim (https://t.co/4NajMRho5F) to connect women in #Brainstimulation globally. #womenin biomed #womeninscience #scicomm

[Convergence Science Network @ConverSci]

@DrClareFedele and @CognitiveTx have made the transition from research to making impact in clinical roles, so there are important opportunities for #womeniniomed to seriously consider that are worthwhile #scicomm

[Convergence Science Network @ConverSci]

@CognitiveTx - the original idea for the current research was a little "out there" and never assumed the idea would work, but followed the evidence #scicomm #womeninbiomed #womeninscience

[Convergence Science Network @ConverSci]

@DrClareFedele - you success as a scientist is underpinned by you ability to communicate your work #scicomm

[Convergence Science Network @ConverSci]

@CognitiveTx - there has never been a more important time for #scientists to communicate evidence-based science #scicomm

[Convergence Science Network @ConverSci]

We're live! https://t.co/wdQu0VPSE9://bit.ly/40DkX7M. .

[Convergence Science Network @ConverSci]

Join us at 2.00pm AEDT today as we learn about the influences and career journey of @DrClareFedele and @CognitiveTx inspiring role models for #womeninSTEMM. Hosted by our @CatrionaNR. Its #free - https://t.co/wdQu0VPSE9 #womeninbiomed #womeninscience #scicomm

We're giving the public a unique chance to share their thoughts on how they view the biomedical sciences through a quick and completely anonymous survey. Your insights will set the stage for our important panel discussion on November 21st, examining trust in biomedical research.

[Convergence Science Network @ConverSci]

Our rescheduled panel event #trust in #biomedicalresearch is on 21 November, 6.00pm -7.30pm AEDT. Join us in person or online with the panel - @Fronj, Denise Goodwin @BehaviourWorksA & Sant Rayn Pasricha @WEHI_research https://t.co/J6QLlC03bC #scicomm

[Convergence Science Network @ConverSci]

Looking forward to be inspired by the career journey of @DrClareFedele and @CognitiveTx in our upcoming #WomeninBiomed webinar, 15 November, 2pm-3pm AEDT. @CSL @BionicsInst #WomeninSTEMM #Womeninscience #scicomm
