Congrats to the ANZMUSC members who presented their research at the 19th IBNP Forum last week in Switzerland!🇨🇭

Fantastic to see strong Australian involvement - 69 participants from Aus and 1 from NZ - and to witness numerous sessions facilitated by these attendees.

We can't work out why funds designated to medical research can't be released from the MRFF. So we animated it 👇.

Share this & help AAMRI secure the election promise that these unspent funds, that are allocated and available, will be released. #standupforscience2025 #election2025

Staggering fact: Only 5% of clinical trials on global health are conducted in LMICs - even though they’re home to around 85% of the world’s population.

Fantastic presentation by @saurabsharma.bsky.social at #AusPainSoc!

Thoroughly enjoyed my first Nerd Nite - thanks to the three engaging speakers! Moore’s law & drawings by PhD physicists are etched in my mind for now. I’ve also come away with a renewed appreciation for VHS thanks to @drshanerrr.bsky.social
