A mass grave site in Sri Lanka’s northern Jaffna district,which has drawn domestic and international attention, is putting to test the Anura Kumara Dissanayake government’s pledgeto address Tamil people’s grievances. https://t.co/siwySOq2Qc via @Meerasrini + @the_hindu

🚨New article from our lab!🚨 -Previous short-term disuse dictates muscle gene expression and physiological adaptations to subsequent resistance exercise- A true collaborative effort! (see the thread below for more) Now out in @JPhysiol https://t.co/o9YoXGRBYE

New year reminder: Today is the 2873rd day (Jan 1 2025) of the #longest_struggle of #SriLanka; the struggle of the relatives of #forcibly_disappeared in the North - East. 📷 at the protest march held marking the International Day of the Disappeared in 2023

Palestinians have been saying this for 440 days but now that Haaretz says it maybe it will be believed.

Congratulations to Victoria's Senior Australian of the Year Dr Peter Brukner OAM 🎉 The internationally-recognised sports medicine physician has made remarkable contributions to healthcare and elite sporting practice in Australia and beyond. As founder of the world-leading La

Of course US and UK politicians hate @FranceskAlbs, writes @tayab_ali_, because unlike them she actually does her job: defend democracy without fear or favour.

-Neuromuscular mechanisms for the fast decline in rate of force development with muscle disuse – a narrative review- New in @JPhysiol by @Luca_L_Ruggiero and @HPRC10 https://t.co/srz3Xlilj9

#OpenAccess Review looks at recent studies on interactions between myosin II and actin filaments, which leads to power stroke & force generation, and mathematical models used to understand mechanics of myosin II focusing on single molecules to ensembles. https://t.co/nNO29a3b1k

Congratulations to @kaymcrossley, Director of our La Trobe Sport and Exercise Medicine Research Centre — she was awarded the inaugural Australian Council of Deans of Health Sciences Allied Health Research Impact award for her exceptional contributions and innovations to the field

Our latest work improves chest x-ray report generation with LLM alignment tools! We build a scalable preference fine-tuning pipeline to improve automated metrics + expert rad. win rates—all WITHOUT any radiologist feedback. Preference alignment w/o needing human preference. 1/3

Ok, here we go: Much of my work concerns the history and return of scientific racism. I’ve written extensively about attempts to resurrect the shuffling corpse of race science and eugenics for many years. Bigotry dressed up as biology. 1/n

Ever wondered what a dwarf racing a giant would look like? Our (@TaylorJMDick and @FriedlDeGroote) new paper simulated humans moving at masses from 0.1 kg to 900 kg. We use them to understand the biomechanical limits to speed as mass increases. https://t.co/sdGNCFQCHn

Our new paper is out in @NatureComms We used predictive musculoskeletal simulations based on @OpenSimSU models, scaled in size from mice to elephants, and reveal mechanistic links between speed, posture and energetics https://t.co/wIHEvgs1Q1 @cclemente4 @FriedlDeGroote @UQ_News
