Any other Australian #medicalresearchers wondering how they are going to multitask preparing their @nhmrc Ideas grants together with 2.5 weeks of school holidays coming up?

Watch as #QBI researchers, @ShanLongfield and @MeunierLab, discuss how they used super resolution microscopy to track key proteins and synaptic vesicles within live neurons.

I am really looking forward to this session this afternoon (AEDT). Holding and attending conferences online doesn't have to mean no networking options, let's learn some approaches to engage online, and meet some fellow EMCRs too? @EMCRForum #ECR #MCR
👩💻 - Nov 9, 4-5:30 pm AEDT - #Networking and socialising online: how to build #careers in the era of technology (networking event in collaboration with our in-kind sponsor @futuremeetings)

The smart country? The lucky country? Want Australia to take on big problems or find out basic information about questions that researchers have? Well we're not funding it in this country. @JasonClareMP what's the plan to make us competitive on the world stage?

Reframing success is crucial for early and mid-career researchers. 🎓 Traditional metrics may not capture their unique aspirations and contributions. Let's celebrate diverse paths and the myriad ways they're pushing boundaries. #ResearchEvolution #SuccessReframed #SPF23

Thank a million to @FightMND and all donors for helping us boost our research into understanding and finding a cure for MND!
Our work will take a completely new pace thanks to a FightMND Impact Grant! So excited for our future outcomes and opportunities!
@Griffith_Uni @GRIDD_GU
This year we are investing $20.2 million into MND research and care. This brings our total investment since 2014 to $95.37 million.
Together with our FightMND Army we are changing the future for people living with MND.
Stay tuned for research and care updates. 💙
#FightMND
Amazing team to work with! Go for it!

Today Academy President Prof Chennupati Jagadish AC spoke with @PatsKarvelas about the 14-year ⬇️ trend in national R&D investment. Australia is well below the @OECD average (21st) and if this trend continues, within 5 years we'll rank among the lowest of all OECD countries. Listen: abc.net.au/listen/programs/r…

The Academy is a proud supporter of the Australian Openness Agreement on Animal Research and Teaching. The Agreement, announced today, was created by the Australian and New Zealand Council for the Care of Animals in Research and Teaching (ANZCCART) and is a public pledge to demonstrate commitment to greater transparency in animal research.
It is hoped the Agreement will lead to more open communication with the broader community, in addition to;
• shedding more light on the pivotal role of animal research in improving our understanding of biology, investigating diseases, developing and testing treatments, and
• promoting awareness of the reasons why animals are used, and the steps taken to ensure that the use of animals is ethical, humane and responsible, and is underpinned by an obligation to respect animals.
