ANNOUNCEMENT:
I am super excited to be taking on this amazing CEO role with the Australian Society for Medical Research. For the majority of my career I have been involved with medical researchers and the crucial work that they do. Communicating research and advocating for greater levels of support, especially for early career researchers, is something I am endlessly passionate about.
I cannot wait to start working with the extensive ASMR team, supporters and most importantly the members.

Today is my birthday. My wish? That I/we would never have to write articles like this, ever again. It should be so damn obvious how important the environment is & governments would invest accordingly.
