Question: what is the trigger point at which we should all leave Twitter? Maybe when it functions as a platform upon which the amount of disinformation amplified exceeds the amount of information? Has that just happened?

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_News nature.com/articles/s41580-0…

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)

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. More below 👇
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. Our alliance letter: asmr.org.au/wp-content/uploa…
