Injury prevention programs work and need to be implemented more widely, we are failing the female athletes as I explain here. @ADHagstrom eloquently debunks the myth that injuries are due to anatomy. Excellent work by @teegstar

I had a lot of fun talking for the @RadioNational Ockham's Razor podcast - Listen in to find out what the Earth being bouncy like a vanilla slice means for us and #Antarctica. Thanks @teegstar for the opportunity! #scicomm #dessert #NationalScienceWeek

Beneath the cold ice sheets of Antarctica lies the dynamic deep earth. So what happens when the two interact? Today's speaker Niam is eager to find out.

Next time you're asked how much physical activity you do, also ask yourself how much time you spend sitting. Both questions are important! @DavidWDunstan explains why in this @teegstar interview & in this new review https://t.co/5Ev9hqdGVC
@PC_Dempsey @AnaJPinto @DiabetesVic

Sedentary behaviors (SB) are characterized by low energy expenditure while in a sitting or reclining posture. Evidence relevant to understanding the physiology of SB can be derived from studies...
Perils of sitting - Prof @DavidWDunstan chats with @teegstar on @RadioNational Health Report on the important messages to come from his new review on #sedentarybehaviour - how and why we need to #sitless and #movemore (from 8.20). @BakerResearchAu

In June I had the immense privilege of travelling to Majuro to record two stories for Pacific Scientific. The podcast has now dropped + the first RMI program, featuring @SchutzAtina @mcst_rmi + Waan Aelõñ in Majel (Canoes of the Marshall Islands), will be broadcast next week 😊

Fabulous body of work. @DavidWDunstan will be discussing this important review on tonight's @RadioNational Health Report with @teegstar and @normanswan. #sedentarybehaviour #SitLessMoveMore @DiabetesVic @DeakinIPAN @RACGP
The Physiology of Sedentary Behaviour (& potential benefits of⬇️or breaking it up) https://t.co/s4lSHRTCSp Our attempt at summarising the evidence, with still much to be disentangled - distinct mechanisms, interactions, dose-response? Huge credit to the talented @AnaJPinto👏

Wrist replacement surgery gives Queensland woman who uses Auslan back her 'voice' https://t.co/E8f2dwvRPK

Standard surgery for rheumatoid arthritis could have only further limited Tracy Howlett's movement, so surgeons did something "unconventional" instead.

What an honour to be on the @RadioNational Ockham’s Razor panel tonight where we heard about platypuses, the universe, glaucoma, and, of course, the spiny mouse 🐁 🩸 Thanks for having me, @teegstar, and looking forward to listening back to all these AMAZING talks @ABCscience
Who would have thought that the spiny mouse, from all the way in Egypt, would help us fight the patriarchy? @its_drmac tells @RadioNational @RoyalSocietyVic the story of this menstruating mouse, which can now be used as a model for women's reproductive health studies.

If 56 pages of the new WHO information brief on red and processed meat is too much to read, you may find this article we wrote for The Conversation a little more *digestible* https://t.co/fpXw7MmZ1g

Too much red meat – and especially processed meat – is linked to cancer and heart disease. But moderation is the key – alongside better farming practices

Having a thread about a stone age girl going viral and having a thread about the fashion industry going viral makes me want to do a thread connecting both of these subjects to talk about one of my favorite prehistoric articles of clothing: the Lendbreen Tunic.
