So proud of our team taking part in the walk against family violence today @Respect__Vic @MonashTrauma @AbiAstridgeCla @stm_cares

***NEW OPPORTUNITY*** We are currently seeking community members with lived experience of intimate partner violence to join our research team with @GeorgiaSymons Express interest here: redcap.helix.monash.edu/surveys/?s=LDE…

Wanted to re share our recent article published in @BrainBehavImm following some media today about intimate partner violence brain injuries. This infographic summaries our main findings. @shultz_sandy @MujunSun @STMneurosci @Monash_FMNHS sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Victim-survivors of Intimate Partner Violence often have worse brain injuries than people who've had a sporting injury, writes @Robynriley08 in today's @theheraldsun. Read more about this important research by @GeorgiaSymons, @Sandy_Shultz and @MujunSun @STMneurosci and…

Congratulations to Dr @c_padgett who has been awarded a 2024 #ChurchillFellowship. The award will enable her to travel to the US, Canada and the UK to investigate the latest research on the impact of brain injury from intimate partner violence: utas.au/g2

Next Abi Clarke and @GeorgiaSymons led a review of IPV TBI screening and assessment tools. @Kmason10 @CanadaSoar @DrvanDonkelaar @STMneurosci @VIUniversity sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

New papers from lab on IPV #TBI. @MujunSun developed a new model to study how a non-fatal strangulation can exacerbate the effects of concussion. @GeorgiaSymons led the first study into blood biomarkers and symptoms acutely after IPV TBI. @BrainBehavImm sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Great presentation from @Will_T_OBrien yesterday! Bring on day 2 at #INTS2024
