Have your potato cake and eat it too!

Dr Matthew Snelson (Research Fellow, Monash University)
A processed diet can make our guts leaky...and that's bad news! Luckily there are ways to make these foods healthier, so they don’t cause as much damage to our guts

Matt is a dietitian and researcher who completed his PhD in 2019, looking at how a highly processed diets alter gut homeostasis and affect diabetic kidney disease.

The art of imaging living brain cells

Elysa Carr (PhD Candidate, The Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health)
Our every experience is defined by how our brains send signals from neuron to neuron. Elysa will explore how imaging living brain cells in real time can tell us how these cells, and the molecules inside, them work together to send these signals.

Elysa is a queer, non-binary graduate researcher at the Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health in Melbourne. Their research looks at how proteins work together to allow neurons to communicate in the brain.
