🦠In the six months after COVID-19 infection, children have a higher risk of developing rare and serious heart inflammation, but the COVID vaccine does not have the same effect, according to the largest study of its kind, looking at the health records of almost all UK children (nearly 14 million). 👧🧒
Experts from #MonashUni, #BurnetInstitute #UQ #UNSW, and #KirbyInstitute respond to the report.

@ajsadauskas@lemmy.ml A railway connecting Chadstone, Monash Uni and Rowville to the city is an idea whose time has well and truly come.
Unfortunately, despite billions of dollars spent on new roads and countless lies from both sides of politics, it's never been built.
Just like the Doncaster train line, and the light rail extension to Knox.
From The Age:
"A train line to Rowville in Melbourne’s outer east was first proposed in 1969. But five decades later in the federal electorate of Aston, the car is still king.
"After rail through Knoxfield and Rowville to Ferntree Gully was proposed in 1969, several state governments toyed with the idea.
"Ted Baillieu’s Coalition government revived the Rowville link a little over a decade ago and identified a route, but the project was shelved until a central city rail line was built.
"Premier Daniel Andrews promised to plan a light rail Rowville link ahead of the 2018 state election, but it was soon put on the backburner and overshadowed by the Suburban Rail Loop – which does not run through Aston – and now federal Labor’s trackless rapid transit proposal."

@ajsadauskas@lemmy.ml At first glance, this is a brilliant circular economy and sustainable transport initiative.
"A Monash University team pioneering an eco-friendly alternative to the millions of railway sleepers across Australia has received a $500,000 research and development grant from the Victorian Government.
"Since 2015, Monash Institute of Railway Technology (Monash IRT), along with Victorian company Integrated Recycling, has been exploring the potential for transforming recycled plastics waste – such as shampoo bottles and plastic milk cartons – along with agricultural waste, into long-lasting composite plastic railway sleepers.
"The result has been the successful development of Duratrack sleepers, which have replaced timber sleepers in low-speed railway yards and sidings as part of the upgrade of Victorian regional lines including Shepparton, Warrnambool and the Murray Basin. The sleepers have also been widely trialled by tourist and heritage railways, Metro Trains Melbourne, V/Line and Queensland Rail."
