"We must talk to the people we want to influence and bring them with us. Scientists don’t tend to take people on the journey from the beginning. We need to do this more, rather than bringing people on board once the issue is critical” Ian Chubb #Science4PublicGood

“Scientists have an obligation to communicate with the public about what they’re doing, and to be kind to their colleagues doing the same thing in other disciplines.” - Ian Chubb #Science4PublicGood

To early career researchers who may feel that they struggle to be heard or have impact, Ian Chubb says “do not give up. If one person beats a drum, only that person hears it. But if 1,000 people do, then you will be heard. Keep trying”. #Science4PublicGood

The path to leading an Australian Academy can be winding and varied as Chris Hatherly describes. Early on he realised science could tell people what they needed but getting people to accept that advice is a different matter. His first intro to #Science4PublicGood

Millions of research papers are published each year, and about 2 million are never heard of again. Despite best intentions, some research will not have impact - Chris Hatherly #Science4PublicGood

CEO of Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia Chris Hatherly encourages the use of evidence informed policy, rather than a strict adherence to evidence based policy. There are multiple forms of evidence, not just academic research #Science4PublicGood

In policy development, there are always winners and losers says Sharon Friel and trying to redress that means someone will lose power - which they don’t like. All the evidence in the world still has to beat the influence of an individual with power #Science4PublicGood

Understanding how private sector policies, practices & products are shaping the ‘rules of the game’ is needed to address the biggest health challenges we face; non-communicable diseases. We need more research that explores the equity aspects Sharon Friel #Science4PublicGood

A perpetual state of dissatisfaction with the world - seeing it as a work in progress - is the starting point for the work of Mohammad Taha of @engunimelb “I am always looking to see how I can improve something” #Science4PublicGood

Caring very deeply about the continued existence of the human race is the baseline for the common good. We can all agree on this but how do we move to the doing? - Mohammad Taha #Science4PublicGood @engunimelb

Every single researcher has some puzzle piece in a holistic equation for how to solve a problem - Mohammad Taha Multidisciplinary research is vital to address problems #Science4PublicGood

Presentation is not communication. The more you are wedded to that model and the more you do it, the less you will connect with your audiences: Jane Goodall #Science4PublicGood

What lessons can scientists take from Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein? Have the courage of your convictions, even if others don’t share them. Communicate your work, share it. Take responsibility and beware of ‘certainty’ - Jane Goodall #Science4PublicGood

Tensions between disciplines, their ideologies and what constitutes as evidence is just a part of research. You need to work with it, not adhere to a singular paradigm - Sharon Friel #Science4PublicGood

Such an interesting discussion with this interdisciplinary panel at #Science4PublicGood The different perspectives complement & enhance ideas. It’s almost like we should do this in our day to day work… 🤔 Chris Hatherly Sharon Friel Mohammad Taha Jane Goodall Western Sydney University

Ignoring the humanities in the Australian research landscape is like removing a piece of the collective human brain -Jane Goodall. We need all disciplines to best address the problems we face as a society #Science4PublicGood
