Delightful to share that the final piece from my PhD is finally out as a preprint 🥳 This is years of painstaking research with amazing team! Indeed, SCIENCE IS A TEAM SPORT! Forever grateful to have @Bradfield_Neuro as my Supervisor. Best PhD Supervisor I could have asked for.

Latest preprint from the lab! This is the bulk of superstar @arvieabiero's PhD work Neuroinflammation in the dorsomedial striatum causes excessive goal-directed action control by disrupting homeostatic astrocyte function biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Australian politicians would do well to remember this success story when they make decisions about research funding in Australia Importantly innovations in medicine depend on support of both the medical (NHMRC) and fundamental (ARC) science #DiscoveriesNeedDollars

New article by me! It's possible to virtually eliminate cervical cancer worldwide with existing HPV vaccines. This is a huge opportunity to save hundreds of thousands of women every year; tens of millions over the next decades. Let's take it! ourworldindata.org/hpv-vaccinatio…

Hunger signalling in the olfactory bulb primes exploration, food-seeking and peripheral metabolism. We deleted ghrelin receptors in the olfactory bulb and saw many interesting effects - see graphical abstract @ZigmanLab @jeff_neuro @Stark_BrainSci sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
