Today I had the privilege of meeting and interviewing 20 amazing PhD students #20phds20mins on 3rrrfm.
They all did an exceptional job of explaining their research. If you missed the episode you can listen here: rrr.org.au/explore/progra…

Special thanks to Ritika Saxena 🩸(I like RUNX1)

Everyone looks ready for the #20phds20mins on 3rrrfm staring in 15 minutes. 👌👌

Be sure to catch up with Tina's PhD research into Myalgic encephalomyelitis/Chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) on Sunday 👇

This Sunday on Einstein A Go Go 3rrrfm I will once again be joined by 20 amazing PhD students for #20phds20mins . It will be a fast paced show of 20 different topics. This will be the 9th cohort (10th if you count the virtual program last year!).
Those on Twitter include:

DYK up to 2/3 of veterans live with chronic fatigue syndrome/ME?

That's why we are proud to be supporting Tina Katsaros in her work to understand what's really happening so we can have effective treatments

Looking forward to hearing about lots of great PhD work happening!

Tune in to Einstein A Go Go this coming Sunday 21 April to catch @LTUResearchers Zahra Telikani + Lucas Auroux + Kelly Williams-Kelly + Tina Katsaros discussing their research projects on Dr Shane Huntington OAM's #20phds20mins challenge! 🎙️ 🔬 brnw.ch/21wIFEX

So excited to be talking about my PhD on ME/CFS as a part of the #20phds20mins group on Einstein A Go Go with Dr Shane Huntington OAM.

Tune in to 3rrrfm on Sunday the 21st of April from 11am 😊

DYK up to 2/3 of Aussie vets suffer from CFS?

Sarah's team are doing really important work to help them & we are very pleased to be supporting Tina Katsaros in her PhD to understand what's happening so we can develop targeted treatments
