Thanks also to my supervisors Donna Whelan & Helbig Lab 🤍

So excited for this! 🤤 An iconic savoury food that represents my culture would have to be Pastizzi 🇲🇹. What will you be bringing? 🗺️🍴

Just reflecting - so far this year I have interviewed 92 people on Einstein A Go Go 3rrrfm. We are only half way through the year! Hopefully everyone has had a good experience - especially those 'first time on radio' legends.

The biggest HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Karla (Helbig Lab)!! I'm so lucky to work with you, and the lab is so lucky to have your wisdom, mentorship, and mum humour 😂

I was today years old when I discovered that Aussie wood ducks perch in trees!? 🤯 I had to double take when I saw this lil guy in a tree during my walk from La Trobe University's carpark 8 to the office this morn! Pretty 🦆-ing awesome if I do say so myself 🤭la t australian.museum/learn/animals/…

This could be a really powerful thing for pwME or pwLC in Australia. Please help Tina if you are able. I think people with LC would be able to go in this as well. It’ll demonstrate the same message. #MECFS #LongCOVID
