NHMRC Any idea when 2023 #InvestigatorGrant applicants will be notified? The lack of a defined dates and efficiency for these types of communications about grant assessment is a little nuts. 🙏

Patricia Karvelas OECD ➡️ Better Policies for Better Lives Chennupati Jagadish RN Breakfast The Prime Minister Anthony Albanese acknowledged earlier this month that real, enduring reforms that change a country for the better take time. Investing more in R&D requires us to play the long game. But we must rush to get to the starting line. science.org.au/news-and-event…

This decline is especially concerning because Australia has one of the world’s least differentiated economies - 93rd in the world, which places us between Uganda (92)and Pakistan (94). Australia is overly dependent on exporting agricultural products and natural resources.

This is the league table of how countries are currently investing in R&D as a % of GDP. The figures continue a 14-year⬇️trend in national R&D investment for Australia. If we keep going the way we are, in 5yrs years we'll be among the lowest of all OECD ➡️ Better Policies for Better Lives countries #Auspol2023

Big congrats to Prof Isa Lucet and Dr Onisha Patel Huge achievement. I’ll be raising a glass to you. This is a long game and folks out there assessing grants should take notice that drug discovery is about base hits, not home runs

Dr Shane Huntington OAM Imagine where this country could be if we funded science, research, and education like we do defence, fossil fuel subsidies, and housing and financial concessions for the richest...imagine.
