Whilst I appreciate there's a level of "managing up" a graduate student can do to help improve a poor supervisory situation, it's absolutely not a PhD students equal responsibility to take "care" of their supervisor. We need to stop perpetuating crap supervision.

What a debacle! ARC "Board positions are not open to individuals employed by an organisation in receipt of grant funding from the Australian Research Council" That's in the ad for ARC Board members! It locks out *anyone* at unis from ARC Board, incl. actual researchers!

❗️Delays expected for 2025 Fellowship schemes Last week the ARC informed research offices that the next round of DECRAs, Future Fellowships & Laureate Fellowships will be delayed by up to 6 months! Apps won’t open until “early-to-mid” 2025!

When is a misspelling a 'mis-celling'? When a research paper provides findings about human cell lines that may be fake. #researchintegrity #papermills ScienceInsider News from Science science.org/content/articl…

0.17% of GDP I know the Government's "goal" of 3% GDP in R&D is supposed to be generated largely by business (*cough*fantasy*cough), but at some point it's gonna have to invest directly. No R&D = no discoveries, innovation or understanding = a feeble, fragile economy & society.

There’s enormous power in converting “Oh, I didn’t know that” 😞 to “Cool, I didn’t know that!” 🤩 Build a culture that supports the latter - encourage learning rather than shaming people for not knowing things You don’t know everything, and neither do I, so lean into it

Shorts in the lab because it’s SAFER??? This may be the worst lab safety “advice” EVER. I’ve seen pics of the damage from and the subsequent skin grafts after a TFA spill Wear all your PPE and respect - RESPECT - the chemicals you use

Earlier this year, we created Neurodrug in a joint initiative with the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sydney Health to build capacity in drug discovery for central nervous system and neurological disorders. Today, we are thrilled to congratulate the awardees of Neurodrug 2024 👏
