I've had the amazing opportunity to participate in Future Science Talks at MICF this year! If you like scientific-comedy, or are a fan of copious powerpoint animations, then come to the show! Tickets can be bought here: lnkd.in/gRdqfJBw or through scanning the QR code in the flyer.

Have you ever wondered what sorts of inputs would make the best machine learning model for common mental disorders? Are ML studies making the most of the promise surrounding Lifestyle Psychiatry? Well I set out to investigate this in my first PhD paper which has just been published! lnkd.in/gVMJnabs

#TidyTuesday turned into more of a TidyThursday for me - need to get back into the swing of things. For some reason I felt compelled to make a map for this one. Not sure it's the most visually interesting plot I've made but it was cool to try some new things (maps and animation!)

Tomorrow I'll be presenting at the CARN seminar series. If you want to hear some fun facts about the gut microbiome, along with some insights into the implementation of plant based diets from my co-presenter Linda Smillie feel free to come along! Register here: lnkd.in/g4PaRpVW

Hi all! I'm a PhD candidate at the Food and Mood centre, Deakin University.

My thesis is examining how we can leverage the interaction between lifestyle and the gut microbiome to predict depression risk using Machine Learning.

Follow for all things microbiome, ML, and data visualisation :)
