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: https://t.co/VeoaE5mnqg

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

Experts have raised the alarm about anti-vaccine networks sharing tactics for skirting Victoria’s no jab, no play laws, while immunisation rates among children continue to decline.

🚨 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.

#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
