Congrats to the ANZMUSC members who presented their research at the 19th IBNP Forum last week in Switzerland!πŸ‡¨πŸ‡­

Fantastic to see strong Australian involvement - 69 participants from Aus and 1 from NZ - and to witness numerous sessions facilitated by these attendees.

Both can cause joint pain and swelling. But their causes and treatments differ.

We can't work out why funds designated to medical research can't be released from the MRFF. So we animated it πŸ‘‡.

Share this & help AAMRI secure the election promise that these unspent funds, that are allocated and available, will be released. #standupforscience2025 #election2025

Staggering fact: Only 5% of clinical trials on global health are conducted in LMICs - even though they’re home to around 85% of the world’s population.

Fantastic presentation by @saurabsharma.bsky.social at #AusPainSoc!

This article profiles our recent paper showing that an X-ray–based diagnosis and explanation of knee OA may have potentially undesirable effects on people’s beliefs about management.
