Enormous congrats to both Dena Lyras @MonashBDI and Rob Parton @PartonLab on recent ARC laureate success. Two finer, more deserving, scientists I cannot think of.

To misquote Aaron Sorkin, it occurs to me that the sheer weight of carbon I’ve NOT burned in the last 12 months would be enough to stun a team of oxen. Several probably... #westwing

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 @theasmr1 @greghuntMP

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!

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.

The 2020 budget includes significant investment in medical research, with $6.6b over the next 4 years inc:
· Medical Research Future Fund – $2.5b
· National Health & Medical Research Council – $3.6b
This funding will save lives & support our medical researchers.
