Proud/excited/nervous that our drug repurposing for platinum resistant HGSOC #ovariancancer has opened in Newcastle, NSW. As the consumer team leader on this 5+year project am especially excited to trial an oral drug with low toxicity compared to usual chemo infusions. anzctr.org.au/Trial/Regist...

It was an honour to present with @djmarsh24.bsky.social at the 'Consumer Involvement in Research PhD Translational Skills Workshop' last week.

Sydney I'm proud of you. Latest estimate of the March for Humanity was 300,000 of us peacefully protesting on a wet, winter's day.
Part of the hiatus was digging into winter, feeling antisocial in both digital and real life. But am back now, following my own advice - making soup, rugging up for wintry walks and taking vitamin D. What gets you over the winter hump? gillstannard.com.au/2025/07/07/o...

Have had a bit of a hiatus on this platform. First a month or so having an Indonesian Odyssey, then returning to a Sydney winter and readjusting to post tropical holiday life. Just discovered a stack of new followers while I was elsewhere - thank you so much.
Soup season is one of the best things about winter! Last week was nettle and mushroom. This week? What should I make from the soup collection? gillstannard.com.au/2020/07/07/t...

This early 18th century herbal notebook is a very #PopularItem in our collection. It has cures for everything from hiccups to the plague (and the odd cake recipe too). It's also shrouded in mystery - who was the author?! #Archive30
What's it like being a naturopath in the chemo chair? Despite 11 yrs since tx and actually 'surviving', it feels incredibly raw listening to the ReMe podcast interview! Thanks Luanfor your powerful podcast and allowing me to be vulnerable. www.luanlawriewoods.com.au/podcasts/gil...

Appreciate the companies who are sending option to opt out of Mother's Day marketing. Sadly a long way to go but grateful for those who do.
Congratulations all Cancer Council Research Award recipients. A delightful celebration last night, with so many inspiring conversations researchers and fellow consumers. Head and heart full (tummy not so for non-meat eaters!).
Love this!
Hayley Gullen@hayleygullen.com · last yr.I would like to see more nuanced representations of cancer in popular culture. The rules of the Gullen Test are: 1. The person with cancer talks about something that is not cancer 2. The person with cancer does not die of cancer #cansky #graphicmedicine 1/8

Tis the season. Last year I swapped Easter for Songkran in Thailand and stashed a dozen hot cross buns in the freezer for winter. Excellent idea ...and so the bun freezing season begins!

Le Monde reporting that a French scientist traveling to Houston to attend a conference was denied entry to US after a search of his phone & computer revealed messages critical of Trump's science cuts, "which [says CPB] conveyed hatred of Trump & could be qualified as terrorism".
