"My father realised that I had an interest in science," recalls Distinguished Professor Arthur Georges FAA (@UniCanberra). "He was a politician and he brought me to Canberra quite often and one year, he took me across to show me the Shine Dome." Arthur, now a world-leading ecologist and herpetologist, is set to return to the Dome next month to be inducted into the Academy at #ShineDome24. "[My father] explained that it was the centre of academic life for scientists. As is anyone who sees it for the first time, I was really impressed. But back then in 1968, it was really out of the ordinary. That memory stayed with me forever." Arthur will be inducted into the Academy along with 21 other new Fellows as part of our four-day annual event, Science at the Shine Dome.

Tomorrow, we’ll be announcing the outcomes of Future Fellowships 2024. All Lead Chief Investigators will receive a notification email to check RMS regarding applications. Stay tuned for an update.

@ScienceYael I've been using Microsoft ToDo, which integrates with microsoft office (my work email address). Find it really easy to set to do lists, have them always on display, and then use those to make sure I stop missing things. Not a full project management pipeline, but its something.

@ARC_Tracker is there any word on whether DECRAs and Future fellows will move to an EOI scheme in the next round?

@ARC_Tracker Ok cool, sorry for being a nuisance, was just confused. >_<

@ARC_Tracker But is the 4149 EOIs for DP24 or DP25?

@ARC_Tracker I'm super curious what the number of EOIs submitted this round was. Hopefully they let us know that with the outcomes.
