Today is a special day as I start a new role as Professor and Deputy Director of the @Neuromedicines Discovery Centre @MonashPharm and @MIPS_Australia (1/x)

@DPJHodges She seems psychologically broken by her premiership; unable to accept that she was responsible for what happened.

@izzywestbury On a scale from hoo-ha, palaver, and kerfuffle through to omnishambes, sh*tshow, and clusterf*ck,

@BrettYokom @JasonSynaptic That’s a market driven matter for universities and research institutes. Many believe they can do it better than others, hence set up in ‘competition’. Unfortunately larger organisations often require larger overheads as they become more complex. I prefer small biotech.

@BrettYokom @JasonSynaptic I get you might not like it. I dislike bloated, over complicated institutions. There is so much to be said for entrepreneurial startup culture. But it really isn’t so simple - overheads are generally *at least* 30%, if not more.

@BrettYokom @JasonSynaptic Is the system perfect? VERY far from it, but it’s disingenuous to take such a simplistic view. And yes, research institutes that don’t attract funding DO close. It happens.

@JasonSynaptic The sheer number of folk who have *no idea* what things ‘cost’ is astounding … it’s not just a postdoc salary and reagents.

@SecRubio You could go and, perhaps, do your job, champ? Or you could just call things you don’t like ‘woke’.

@dresdendoll Well, you know what you can cook in that…

@BasedMikeLee Senator Lee giving strong Senator Collins vibes

@Dannythefink @JDVance That’s a delta and a half.

@zenbrainest Very interesting, but I don’t see what makes 2A inverse agonism the main driver here (or indeed, if it would be inverse agonism vs antagonism). I’m guessing it fits with the notion of psychedelics having some efficacy vs OCD.

@juliaisobela Clozapine, escitalopram, sildenafil all OTC… what could go wrong?!

@TheBarmyArmy Out every day of the week.

@domjoly Phew, if I had got rick-rolled there I think that would have been the last straw…

@dresdendoll I’m just impressed you got to the gym. I’m sat here in ADHD procrastination mode albeit being severely harassed by domestic terrorists (my children)

@dresdendoll Strong Jeb vibes here 😆

@oldenoughtosay You know you just need to say ‘Mornington Crescent’ and then lock the post.
