This is a cool article about true Australian neuroscience done by my Aussie colleagues. A fun read.

Our Research Quality group at #NeuRA has just launched Retractions Australia retractions.au in a collaboration with Retraction Watch retractionwatch.com. Check out the people, places and details for papers written by Australian and New Zealand authors. Comments?
We are so proud that our work on the effects of MCT in epilepsy is explained here. Thank you UQ Medicine.

#UQ's Associate Professor Karin Borges and her team are identifying the role Medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) have in the treatment for #Epilepsy Read more 🔗 medicine.uq.edu.au/blog/2023/06/a…
Lactate doesn’t support brain metabolism or activity as well as glucose. Nice study from Oliver Kann. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jn…
Super excited to start on this Endeavour Project funded by @EpilepsyRUK where we will look at new treatment approach for epilepsy in #TSC. A continuation of work funded by @tscalliance in the USA. Great to also work with @UKTSA to involve TSC patients in the design of this study.

An important read if you are working with lactate. nature.com/articles/s4225…
Very cool work @BlancaIAldana - as usual, excellent neurometabolic work in Copenhagen!
Please sign this petition if you reside in Australia: Higher degree researchers do the heavy lifting in excellence research but live way under the poverty line with stipends below the minimum wage
Excited to see the most recent publication from our co-founder @gaianovarino @ISTAustria on amino acid metabolic reprogramming during cortex development now out in @CellCellPress cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

The contribution of Leif Hertz to brain energy metabolism was massive and highly influential. Read about what he did and what remains to be done. doi.org/10.1111/jnc.15…
Interesting roles of fumarate. It will be worth reading the articles. I wonder about how much fumarate needs to accumulate to lead to inflammation. Knocking out a major TCA cycle enzyme would be expected to have some pretty drastic effects. nature.com/articles/d4158…
Fundamental research delivers incredibly important outcomes for society. It was a pleasure to write about the risks in declining support for basic science with fantastic colleagues @DrNatashaHarvey and Mark Kahn. @NatureCVR @PeterMacRes @UniMelbMDHS nature.com/articles/s4416…
“Instead of acting as gatekeepers, journals would come in at the end, to archive the version of record and index papers in databases. “The journal gives it a stamp of approval and says, now we accept this as certified knowledge,” nature.com/articles/d4158…

Our lab is very proud of our Honours student Oliver Armstrong who received a first class Honours degree for his work. This is so well deserved!!! Yeeha and way to go, Oliver.
Two postdocs available at @Aston_IHN to work with the brilliant @sk_wright and Gavin Woodhall. Lots of epilepsy research going on here. Guaranteed dynamic discussions and friendly working environment!
