Unfortunately, this is not new investment. The @NHMRC budget hasn’t increased since 2006. Australian discovery science is near collapse and more funds for NHMRC are urgently needed. A thread 👇

Great honour and geographic good fortune to (I think) kick off #FootProcess event numero uno. Missed 100’ marathon by 48” but in my defence got lost and it was blowing a gale. Good luck to everyone tomorrow!

this is like when the away team scores 10 runs in the top of the 14th, so you know the outcome, but you have to wait while the home team bats - except that the fate of the world hangs in the balance and the home team is a fascist with nuclear weapons

Can anyone in the Twittersphere with a head for stats and a familiarity with vaccine trials fill me in on whether the Oxford subtrial on a low-high dose regime is sufficiently powered to claim a 90% protective effect? I’ve seen the words “up to” used a lot....

Thanks to NHMRC funding we better understand how the kidney forms and how kidney diseases develop. Parlous underfunding of biomedical research in Oz limits translating this knowledge to treatment #SaveOzScience The Australian Society for Medical Research (ASMR) @greghuntMP #AdvanceAustraliaCare @PKD_Australia
