Yesterday I received a grant rejection. Obviously very disappointed, but at least one of the reviewers recognised that I was a young researcher with potential.
Back in Germany and looking at a full day of teaching.
At least it is Winter wonderland here.
Final day of my trip to Australia and finishing with a bang:
AusTRiM conference starting of with a session on rare diseases.
Good Morning Melbourne.
Lovely debate at the ACTA symposium yesterday on "Is AI Driving Smarter, Faster, Fairer Clinical Trials".
Had a great day yesterday talking at ACTA about Evaluating AI algorithms for healthcare.
A great couple of days at the University of Queensland.
Never thought I'd take a ferry to work.
A wonderful day @UQ. Looking forward to continuing discussions around trials for chronic pain.
Unglaublich was gerade in Wien abgeht. Die Kürzungen betreffen nicht nur die Beschäftigten, sondern gehen uns alle an. Bitte unterstützt die Petition:

Fantastic two days of stimulating talks and discussions at our Workshop on Adaptive and Bayesian Designs in Real Trials, where statisticians, clinicians and patients have shared their experiences of #ClinicalTrials.
Thanks to all our speakers and all those who attended.
A thought provoking event. Glad I could participate.

I suspect many of us need to hear this today. @charliemackesy1.bsky.social
Bioresonanz. Die Älteren von euch erinnern sich ja daran, dass ich diese Studie so mag.

Warum ist diese Studie so toll?
Weil keine andere Studie Bioresonanz an Menschen, Leberkäse(!), einem feuchten Tuch sowie einem Leichnam(!) ausprobiert hat.
