Fun day at the Rosehill College Hauora expo sharing our love of all things placenta, and our work aimed at better interpreting ultrasound in pregnancy to improve detection of at risk babies. New hologram was a hit (looks better irl), and tons of kids through 😃 #teamplacenta

Vaccines are one of the most remarkable human achievements. In 2024, 14.3 million children didn't get a single dose of any vaccine, according to new data from @UNICEF & @WHO. What global health experts say must happen to keep communities protected: bit.ly/438Xhdp

Too big to ignore. Too much change. Too quick. Where does it end? The implications of such warming will continue to reveal themselves over decades, centuries. Politicians can’t think further ahead than 3-4 years. That’s the problem. No genuine will. No genuine empathy.
Official figures today show 2024 was not only the hottest since carbon emissions began rising with the Industrial Age, it was also the first to top 1.5 degrees (+1.55*C) from the pre-industrial average.

It's extremely concerning that there's been a consistent drop in childhood vaccination rates over the past four years. Vaccinations save lives. Remember, we need 95% coverage to really contain a measles outbreak from spreading. #PublicHealth theage.com.au/national/victo…
🚨 Introducing the Period Symptom Checker 🚨 Too many women suffer in silence, battling heavy bleeding and pain every month, only to be told it’s “just a period” when they do seek help. Stigma and lack of awareness of period health prevent many women from getting the support…
Andrew Wakefield wrote a small, scientifically worthless paper pretending vaccines had something to do with autism. It turned out to be not just crap but actually fraudulent, for which he lost his medical licence. He's one of the biggest villains in medical history.
Today, @AlboMP annnounced the funding of a vital initiative that will help reduce the prevalence of scabies infections that contribute to Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD), a form of heart disease that can be fatal to young people in First Nations communities if left untreated. (1/3)

#HeartMonth is a great time to get a cardiac risk assessment & know if you are at risk for heart disease. 80% of heart disease is preventable but we don’t often screen women. Heart disease is the #1 killer of women. Lack of awareness is a close second. #GoRedforWomen #CVPrev

Not all heart attacks are the same & women’s are often quite different to those in men And not mentioned here they often come after a history of a pregnancy complication @HerHeartAus @heartfoundation @Flinders @FlindersHMRI
Dear All. It’s 3.30am on Monday 27th January and I have some time as I’m awake currently. I’m awake because I’m in hospital. I’m in hospital because on Saturday morning at 4.30am I had a heart attack. The paramedics saved my life for the first time and then the consultant…

Today, President Trump will issue a series of Executive Orders that deny the climate emergency facing our country in favor of a phony “energy emergency”. These performative acts show the pervasive influence that the fossil fuel industry will have in the United States over the…
