Thanks Andy 🙏🙏🙏

Largest medical 🩺 funding scheme in OZ 🦘🇦🇺, months 🗓️of write up and you get a single reviewer ‼️, single line ‼️response that the aims are not independent. The best bit: they clearly are. The system is broken! 🛑

😂

Cruel!

I thought I won free campus coffee ☕️ and it was just a simulated phishing campaign 😅

🏁 Takeaway: buff.ly/GFZIgjE
For large-scale or rapid studies, flow-split (k ≈ 3.0) can safely replace multiscale models at rest — cutting hours of manual tuning and computational cost.

Women with chronic coronary artery disease: long-term outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention vs coronary artery bypass grafting - PubMed In women with chronic severe CAD, CABG appears to be associated with a long-term reduction in MACCE and all-cause mortality compared with PCI. These findings support consideration of CABG as the…

New study: women with severe chronic coronary artery disease have better long-term outcomes with CABG than PCI. Important implications for personalised care. ❤️

Is Australian science ready for AI? */

AI is reshaping research in Australia 🤖🔬

Australia's fundamental research funding crisis is being ignored The Strategic Examination of Research and Development (SERD) issues papers have failed to address declining investment in fundamental research (sometimes referred to as basic or discovery research),

Australia’s fundamental research funding is quietly being eroded 🚨.

World-class science can’t survive without sustained investment — and current R&D reforms are ignoring the problem.

This puts innovation, talent, and our future economy at risk. 🔬🇦🇺

🚨 Changing views in our understanding of atherosclerosis buff.ly/1LreIX2

#CardioSky #MedSky

For my #CFD #CAD peeps:
🧠 Findings: Resting conditions → flow-split ≈ multiscale (no significant difference).
⚠️ Under hyperaemia → flow-split overestimated shear stress and underestimated FFR, especially in severe stenosis.
➡️ High exponents (≈3.0) gave the best match.

Thats right 😀

Atherosclerosis has emerged as a worldwide issue 🌍 no longer limited to Western countries!

It affects younger and diverse ethnic groups and women.

Thrombotic complications are beyond the old 'vulnerable plaque' concept.

Atherosclerotic diseases are ubiquitous

How is a teaching workload not considered in post-PhD years?

40% FTE research by contract (often < for juniors) and yet being compared to 100% research.

It makes no sense!!! Every year the gap widens! Esp bad for women!

💡 Coronary shape + flow differences underpin why women show more non-obstructive CAD while men develop earlier, obstructive disease

This moves us closer to sex-specific risk prediction and therapy in coronary artery disease.

Meet the #svmg team

Raiden, he stared his PhD a year ago, developing a new biomechanical model of how diseases arteries evolve, weaken or heal over time.

Such a model offer new therapeutic pathways and more informed clinical decision making to save people from heart attacks 🫀

Meet the team:

Hao is a PhD student working on artifact reduction in CT coronary angiography.

His work has helped reduce error in annotations for better image assessment advancing frontiers in cardiovascular health 🫀

💡 Why this matters: Patient-specific coronary simulations are powerful—but computationally demanding.

Simpler flow-split boundary conditions are sometimes sufficient! No multiscale needed
