Delighted to be joining the @NAgeingRI as Director this week. I have long admired the work NARI does to deliver improved outcomes for older people across Australia and around the world. I am looking forward to playing my part in continuing to build on this legacy.

The perception of IQ as a seemingly objective measure of intelligence is frequently used to promote racist pseudoscience on social media. For this reason, I think it's extremely important for people to know some relevant facts about IQ:

Air pollution from cars & pregnancy: 🚗Just one Volkswagen diesel that cheated on emissions tests per 1,000 cars upped infant mortality by 1.7% in its area 🚗Electronic tolls (which don't require cars to idle) dropped the rate of premature births to mothers near tollbooths by 8%

Considering a PhD and have good quant / econ skills?

Economics has always been about maximising benefit for people.

Last week for this survey. We would love to hear from all public health advocates! Please take the time to do the survey and share to your networks. Thanks! 🙏😊

At the end of #dietitiansweek23 I thought I’d share why/how I became a dietitian and how this led me to eventually become the study lead for the Healthy Gut Diet for preventing gestational diabetes Study @dietitiansaus @UQ_CHSR @MetroNorthHHS A 🧵

this isn't a judgement about whether the cuts are right or wrong - just pointing out the logical fallacies people are making. it is still a progressive tax system. How progressive it should be is a different argument.

I see arguments that ppl on 45k will be paying the same tax rate as people on 200k. They don't now and they won't after. 45k you pay 11.3% income tax. For 200k, ppl on 200k are paying 30%, they will still pay 26% after the tax cuts.
