Very purple (means it’s exam time) in Brisbane these days #jacaranda #brisbane

We have heat and humidity (again/still) in #Brisbane - this was yesterday

floral moments of Spring this week #flowers #Spring

Warm enough to bring the turtles (and babies) out to bask

Not to stress Brisbane people out- but in these beautiful Spring mornings- the jacarandas are just starting to appear #Brisbane #UQ #jacaranda #ExamsAreComing

The tawnies are doing okay in the post cyclone rain and gusty winds- they really look quite over it! #TCAlfred #birds

Scenes from my week - it’s been humid and busy. Hope your week is going ok #UQ

Happy Lunar New Year to those celebrating! The dogs have new looks especially #LunarNewYear

Would you like to see a picture from my recent trip to Malaysia as a break from all the news? I have a lot of pictures so it could be an ongoing strategy. ❤️

Happy 2025 - hope it brings you health, happiness and things you are needing ❤️

There is a lot to celebrate at this time of year- we had the 8 cousins (and parents/grandparents) - create these colourful biscuits (no rules, a lot of colour and the tables are still sticky!) #Christmas #baking

We’re collecting open-ended data on Prolific, and it has become clear to me that people are using chatGPT to answer the questions. This is so depressing. Like, is it really worth the time to copy and paste questions and answers instead of just…telling us what you think?

Christmas baking at our place involves lots of love, lots of mess and lots of chocolate #Christmas #baking

I’m am officially on leave and festive baking is beginning- some fudge with my son for starters! #baking - with a short intermission to watch the scaly breasted lorikeet in the grevillea #BirdsOfAustralia

Out on campus for graduations and the birdlife seems to be getting into the spirit #UQ

🚨New research! Aged care clients (community + residential) and family members shared their design ideas and preferences for co-designing a new aged care digital dashboard of integrated client data, real-time predictive risk models and decision support. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

"The pandemic has brought access to outdoor space into sharp focus, and as cities made adjustments ... the green inequity became painfully apparent. Studies have shown that access to green spaces can help bridge income-related health inequalities" #architecture #neuroscience

I do love the little bit of decorating going on in cafes 🎄

Bit of a Xmas decorating throwback- when the kids were little, they used to sneakily infest the trees with all kinds of creatures #Xmas #decoration

One of the projects I am very proud to be involved with is the Florence Project at UQ: eecs.uq.edu.au/florence We have been codesigning technologies to support communication and participation with people living with dementia and their care partners. #dementia #AssistiveTechnology

bit more on that lancet research showing how big the health inequalities are for disabled people 'What is inevitable is that Australians with disability will keep dying before their time unless we take action' theconversation.com/australians-...

Australians with disability are 4 times more likely to die early – often not due to their disability

People with disability die of conditions such as cancer, heart disease and diabetes at a much higher rate than the rest of the population.

✨Calling all #neurodivergent occupational therapists, students, support workers, retired & non-practicing✨ Tell me if you'd like to be included in my starter pack of ND OTs It's nice to know who's out there, for support & to make a great community Pls spread around! #OccupationalTherapy

Reposting this thread about PRPP as I know we are getting new arrivals every day. It’s a fantastic, ecologically valid tool for OTs to support their behavioural observation analysis, based on task analysis with both assessment and intervention arms. Take a look Oats…

If I had to choose one tool that has informed my practice as an OT it is the PRPP (Perceive, Recall, Plan, Perform) System. In neuropsych terms it is framework for OTs to use for behavioural observations,formulation and treatment. www.occupationalperformance.com/the-perceive...

Neuro OT/PT/SLT? Just arrived on Bluesky? Here’s a starter pack

Will Chegwidden@willchegwidden.bsky.social · 2y ago

I have started a pack for neuro and stroke OT/PT/SLT, to make it easy for people landing. There are some other great more general neuro/neurorehab packs, but this is just to help people landing. Using "neuro" in it's broadest sense and have included some "honorary" AHPs go.bsky.app/2Wvb8C9

Shared by @drkhan-do.bsky.social 📢New paper "This research is about diversity, community engagement, & co-design in health & social care research, focusing on the importance of including individuals from all backgrounds in the research process." Excellent! bmjleader.bmj.com/content/earl...

My son has declared the holiday with the grandparents a complete success as he has finally spotted a stonefish! It has been on the most wanted list for a long time! #Stonefish #Nature #WildlifeOfAustralia #GettingUploadedToINaturalist

Our new paper published in JAMA Neurology reveals #frailty accelerates from 9 years before #dementia and is a strong dementia risk factor even when measured before that period. Paper: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... Featured on ABC news (a pleasant surprise!): www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3bs...
