BIOGRAPHY Dr Brad Sutherland is a Senior Research Fellow in the School of Medicine at the University of Tasmania. Brad graduated with a PhD from the University of Otago (Dunedin, New Zealand) in 2009 and then spent 7 years as a post-doctoral fellow at the Radcliffe Department of Medicine, University of Oxford. In 2016, Brad was recruited to the University of Tasmania to lead a neurovascular lab that aims to understand how blood flow is regulated in the brain and how this becomes dysfunctional in diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and stroke. In 2018, Brad was awarded an NHMRC Boosting Dementia Research Leadership Fellowship and this was followed up with an NHMRC Project Grant in 2019 to investigate the role of pericytes, a cell that controls capillary blood flow, in Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.
Changing the ways we communicate to achieve social
change: The FrameWorks approach to
creating a Core Story for Early Childhood
Development and Learning in Australia
Emilie L’Hôte PhD
Senior Researcher, Manager of Qualitative Research
The FrameWorks Institute
EMILIE L'HÔTE is based in the UK and works as a Senior Researcher and Manager of Qualitative Research
with the FrameWorks Institute in Washington DC. In this role, she conducts research on public thinking and
develops and tests framing strategies for issue advocates. A linguist, Emilie studies the framing of political
discourse, with a specific focus on the use of metaphors as a framing tool. Emilie is an expert in Strategic
Framing Analysis® which is a multi-disciplinary approach that pays attention to the public's deeply held
worldviews and assumptions about social issues, and evaluates the effects of various frame elements on
support for social policies. Recognising there is more than one way to tell a story, Strategic Frame Analysis®
taps into decades of research on how people think and communicate. The result is an empirically-driven
communications process that makes academic research understandable, interesting, and usable to help
people solve social problems.
In this presentation, Dr Emilie L'Hôte will give an overview of the FrameWorks Institute's
unique approach to communications research and practice, and show how it has been
applied to early childhood development and learning in Australia as part of the Core Story
for Early Childhood Development and Learning.

PROFESSOR W. MURRAY THOMSON
AJ HERMAN FELLOWSHIP LECTURE
The UWA Dental School is delighted to host Professor W. Murray Thomson as the 2019 AJ Herman Fellowship Lecturer. Professor Thomson is an experienced dental researcher and specialist in dental public health. He is Editor-in-Chief of Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology,
and Associate Editor for the European Journal of Oral Sciences. Professor Thomson conducts research in the broad fields of dental epidemiology, dental public health and dental health services. His work over the years has had considerable impact in socio-dental epidemiology, health services research and understanding of the oral health of older people. His influential life-course work in the renowned Dunedin Study has been complemented by his pivotal role in the development and testing of a number of important self-report measures now in wide use in oral health care. His contribution to new knowledge is best evidenced by his inclusion as one of the top contributors to dental public health research in the last half century in a published bibliometric analysis (doi: 10.1111/cdoe.12249).
To date, Professor Thomson has published 351 research papers and 5 book chapters in the scientific literature; his Scopus h index is 48, and his Google Scholar h index is 70. Professor Thomson was a co-recipient of the Prime Minister’s Science Prize in 2016 and has been honoured with two IADR Distinguished Scientist Awards (the 2010 H. Trendley Dean Memorial Award and the 2014 Geriatric Oral Research Award).
Professor Thomson will be speaking on the topic: “Poor oral health casts a long shadow: findings from the Dunedin Study”
Overview of the topic: Imagine what we could find out about oral health if we followed an entire birth cohort from the cradle to the grave. The Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Study is one such study, having followed 1037 individuals born in Dunedin in 1972-3, with the most recent assessments undertaken at age 45. It has produced unprecedented and important information on the natural history of oral health and disease through the life course. In this presentation, Professor Thomson will share some findings from that study.
Please register your attendance with the event coordinator: Jane Burnell, RSVP mandatory at [email protected] by 5.00pm Tuesday 12 November 2019. Light refreshments will be served from 6.00pm with the lecture to commence at 6.30pm. This is an excellent, complimentary continuing education event brought to you by the UWA Dental School.

School of Human Sciences Seminar Series
Title: Heat Therapy: An ancient practice to target modern diseases
Presenter: Christopher T. Minson, Phd Kenneth and Kenda Singer Professor
When: Wednesday 27 November 2019 @ 1pm
Venue: John Bloomfield Lecture Theatre, UWA, School of Human Sciences (Exercise and Sport
Science) adjacent to Parkway Entrance 3. Parking on Parkway and in UWA carpark entrances 3 & 4.
https://goo.gl/maps/D1RQGxN5wGNUZfdRA
Presentation Summary: Chronic heat exposure, in the form of saunas, hot water baths, and sweat lodges have been utilized in many cultures for thousands of years. While repetitive bouts of heat exposure is generally believed to be healthy, it is only recently that we are beginning to understand the full benefits of ‘heat therapy’ across the spectrum of human health. Passive heating results in a rise in body temperature and changes in cardiovascular hemodynamics, including altered shear patterns of blood flow. There is growing evidence that these responses to acute heat stress combine over repetitive sessions to provide a stress-resistant profile to counter inflammation and oxidative
stress, as occurs with aging and chronic disease, as well as from acute damaging events such as ischemia-reperfusion injury. There is also growing evidence heat therapy can be used to target metabolic dysfunction in obesity and diabetes through improvements in insulin signaling in fat and muscle cells. This ancient therapy needs broader application to treat modern diseases, particularly in those not able to obtain the full benefits of exercise.
Speaker Biography: Dr. Christopher Minson is the Kenneth and Kenda Singer Professor of Human Physiology. His research focuses on topics related to integrative cardiovascular physiology in humans. His lab investigates how we can use exposures to extreme environments to gain a healthy and resilient physiology. He is also involved in projects related to endocrine function in women, biomarkers of aging and the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, and finding novel ways to improve thermal comfort and safely in work environments. He also works with elite athletes in the use of environmental stressors to improve performance.
