@DrShaneRRR 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.

Costs go up, funding goes down - a perfect storm to destroy Australian research excellence.
The ARC budget needs to be tripled in the next budget, minimum.

Big congrats to Prof @Isa_Lucet and @dr_opatel 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

A fantastic achievement for a home-grown Australian discovery. Congrats to WEHI #structuralbiologists, @Isa_Lucet @dr_opatel for their contribution to structure-based #drugdiscovery of #momelotinib during their time at @MonashUni in partnership with Cytopia. #WomenInScience

Go8 Chair Brian Schmidt warns government must step up for research funding, in today’s @australian editorial. Leaving universities to pay for growing research with international student fees risks our research effort, it states, as COVID demonstrated. theaustralian.com.au/commentary/edi…

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 countries #Auspol2023

@PatsKarvelas @OECD @NanoJagadish @RNBreakfast The Prime Minister @AlboMP 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…

“We need to move towards a knowledge-based economy […] do we really want to be so vulnerable as an economy and as a country?” — Academy President Prof Chennupati Jagadish AC (@NanoJagadish) quoted in this article from @ConversationEDU.
The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand@ConversationEDU
Higher education can fuel a ‘knowledge economy’, which is based on technical + scientific advances. As Matt McGuire (@westernsydneyu) + @cathycoleborne (@Uni_Newcastle) write, the Universities Accord should focus on research + capitalising on discoveries. #Echobox=1693523991-1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">theconversation.com/australia-need…

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.

Today Academy President Prof Chennupati Jagadish AC spoke with @PatsKarvelas about the 14-year ⬇️ trend in national R&D investment. Australia is well below the @OECD average (21st) and if this trend continues, within 5 years we'll rank among the lowest of all OECD countries. Listen: abc.net.au/listen/program…

The @GroupOfEight agrees with Professor Jagadish, President of The Australian Academy of Science. Australia is going in the wrong direction as it relates to its commitment to R&D and productivity.

Elevating investment in R&D and science is an imperative #SaveOzScience

we need an @ NHMRC_tracker to put pressure on @nhmrc Investigator announcements 😬 the random interval schedule of punishment that is "late Aug/early Sept" isn't great.

@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.
