October is breast cancer awareness month. 🎀
I spoke with Australian Breast Cancer Research on what to look out for, when to take action, and how to look out for your loved ones. The earlier breast cancer is detected, the better the chances of survival.

Billions going unspent from Australia’s $24b medical research fund
Costings commissioned by independent MP Monique Ryan reveal the government could double how much funding it gives to innovative health research each year.

Tiny molecular spirals in cells can scale up to control the twist and turn of entire tissues, an important step towards understanding left-right symmetry in tissues and organs.

Was my pleasure to moderate the panel today at the inaugural Female Fellows symposium “Balancing Acts”. An insightful, open and frank discussion on juggling a scientific career with caring, part time work and leave, and a real sense of solidarity.

Absolutely thrilled to receive an AIPS 2025 SA Young Tall Poppy Award! Wouldn't be possible without our wonderful team, dedicated patient advocates, & various funding bodies that allowed me to connect with scientific/non-scientific groups to communicate our research. www.unisa.edu.au/media-centre...
Our Poppies the pick of the bunch
Six researchers from the University of Adelaide and University of South Australia have been named as this year’s South Australian Young Tall Poppies.

A bit late to the party, but finished Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus. POV as a reader: captivating, funny, gripping story, relatable in professional sense. As a woman in science: Fantastic to see how far we’ve come, but some aspects still unfortunately resonate. Recommend!

Hey folks! I got a tattoo of my beloved PIEZO ion channel on my arm! Now I can show how they activate (flatten) under pressure by flexing—Will add a bit of performance art to my science talks 🧪🧠.

Today on #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience, I’m reflecting on where I’m at. Pausing and slowing things down to raise a family takes its toll on an academic career in so many invisible ways, but it pushes me to work harder. This little babe (me!) knows it’s worth it.
