I recently wrote down some of my thoughts on equity, diversity & inclusion and why this needs to be prioritised, funded, outcome-driven and led by university leadership ... @AarhusUni_int@AIAS_dk @SingMolSci @UQ_Newsnature.com/articles/s41580-0…
A HUGE congrats to #UNSWScientia@ShafaWaters and team on the CSIRO grant to train the next generation of stellar researchers - all making our world a healthier place. AI driven #personalised medicine technologies - an enormous impact for good. 🏆👏 @dane_mcc @ProfJakeBaum
Exited to work with @vafaee_fatemeh, academic n industry colleagues to train the next generation of #phd students in AI-driven #personalised medicine technologies @EvelynMike7 @ProfJakeBaum @kids_research @uDASH_UNSW
This experience just reinforced to me that academia continues to assess individuals not on their merit (as we often like to tell ourselves), but on who they are/where they trained/where they do their science among other things. (15/n)
We're super stoked to be kickin' off #BIIW22 🥼🧪 (Sunday, Nov. 13th) with an Opening Keynote Presentation by Prof. @gordon_awandare, titled - "Building Basic Science Capacity for Sustainable Research in Africa"
Set your reminders! ⏰ #BlackInImmuno#OpenScience

Our new research paper on the performance of home compostable plastics is out. Sadly they dont work. Less packaging and disposable products is a better way to protect the environment. See examples below and all the data compiled by the ace @DaniellePurkiss
Sadly, there was a 10% reduction in overall number of applicants to the @NHMRC Investigator Grant scheme in 2022 cf.2021 & 10% fewer grants funded. The ASMR, supported by Affiliates and other key stakeholders in our sector, have published an Alliance letter.

After >11y of stagnant @NHMRC ARC funding, discovery research forming the foundation of healthcare innovation & improved patient care is in jeopardy.
With key stakeholders in the sector, we call on our political leaders for action.

UNSW has ranked first in Australia and joint fifth in the world in the inaugural QS World University Sustainability Rankings for our work in tackling environmental, social and governance challenges.

The quote reads, "Countries and companies continue to make choices that threaten the health and survival of people in every part of the world. As countries devise ways to recover from the coexisting crises, the evidence is unequivocal. At this critical juncture, an immediate, health-centred response can still secure a future in which world populations can not only survive, but thrive."
