Great work by everyone involved! Congrats @EpirnaJ

Very pleased to share our most recent work on the unexpected role that a component in the m6A methyltransferase complex play in conferring vulnerability to a subset of breast cancers. 10.1007/s00018-023-04799-4

“GPs have completed extensive post-medical school training…..They, like us, are specialists”

Addit: As are those GPs who have passed the high-stakes exams of the @ACRRM

@nanherlihen Oh Nan what a loss for the institute, I’m sure you will be very missed!!! Best of luck for whatever comes next 😊

@DrJeffHolst @Mark_Butler_MP @UNSWMedicine @c_chaffer @GarvanInstitute Congrats Jeff!! Great news 😊

A very interesting study done by researchers at @Sydney_Uni shows how triple-negative #breast cancer cells are sensitive to glutamine deprivation, and reveals potential for metabolic-targeted therapies. Read now https://t.co/nePeIAwN0n

[Jeff Holst @DrJeffHolst]

Thrilled our work is out in @oncogenejournal. Led by metabolomics guru Lake-Ee Quek @Sydney_CRF we describe a new hardwired metabolic program in triple-negative breast cancer that couples glutamine, glucose and essential amino acid metabolism together. https://t.co/Uzk38vT3Xi 1/7

FUNDING SPOTLIGHT:
Australian health & medical research is in crisis. Australia’s current investment into #health & #medicalresearch through the @nhmrc + MRFF equates to ~0.68% of total health expenditure. ASMR’s recommendation is to immediately double Australia's investment

@catherinezheng_ Oh man this sucks, this will be financially inaccessible for a lot of students. Are they offering bursary support for students who need to upgrade their devices?

[Michelle van Geldermalsen, MD/PhD @michellevangeld]

@slamup This looks beautiful! Congratulations. Can’t wait to buy it

[Michelle van Geldermalsen, MD/PhD @michellevangeld]

@catherinezheng_ That’s a shame. Does the secretary see them as they come in? Maybe in future they could audit submissions to ensure equal representation and make additional targeted call-outs before submissions close if diverse applicants are lacking?

To prevent non-consensual transfers, a group of UQ Med students have formed a 24/7 blockade around the hotel where 120 asylum seekers are being held after their medevac to mainland Australia. Amazing advocacy in action

[Medic Guild @MedicGuild]

Refugees and asylum seekers were brought to Australia from Manus and Nauru for medical treatment. Instead, they've been locked up in hotels in Melbourne and Brisbane, with some not receiving medical treatment at all. Read what these med students are doing https://t.co/wCwStKglGF

[The Australian Society for Medical Research (ASMR) @TheASMR1]

Did you know: When a research grant is awarded, the administering institution has to find an extra 20-40% of the value of the grant to cover overheads, simply so the research can proceed? The Job-Ready Bill removes the source of this overhead funding.

That's catastrophic (1/6👇)

[Michelle van Geldermalsen, MD/PhD @michellevangeld]

@catherinezheng_ Yeah I just saw the ballot and thought the same. Can you put another call out just to women specifically to encourage applications? How long does the ballot have to be open before the AGM?

@lilmedstudent yes literally this the bar is so low if they address me by name and it's also my actual name I'm like 😍

When you're struggling with a concept in your Friday morning tute and the tutor says "don't worry you're doing great for 3rd years" and then you say you're 4th year and the zoom call goes quiet 😂 #MedStudentTwitter
