Here’s something I learned while leaving academia:
If more academics had exposure to the way things are done in other sectors there is no way they would put up with most of the poor treatment they currently do. It would be a much better place for all.
Talking and breathing is very easy until there is a camera. Thanks @LifeCourseAU for seeing the value in my work and providing much needed funding over the past 2 years. I’m applying what I learnt every day at @InfantMelbourne ❤️
Our @LifeCourseAU Postdocs are meaningfully impacting #childhealth.

Our thoughts are with little Tharunica Murugappan and we wish her a speedy recovery. The AMA is shocked by this further trauma for the Murugappan family and is renewing its call for their release from detention on Christmas Island. bit.ly/3x9D8lN

If you can, please take a moment to write to @karenandrewsmp [email protected] to tell her whether you approve of your taxes going towards locking up and neglecting 3year olds. #hometobilo
WATCH: Priya has released a video message from Perth Children’s Hospital, where little Tharni is being treated for a blood infection caused by untreated pneumonia.

Our new research shows, unsurprisingly, that violence at home impacts children’s mental health, language development and sleep. Important work from @deirdregartland @intergen_health @laurajconway1 theconversation.com/how-inti…

Ooff, “The most telling statistical outcome from the 2021 GGGI is that Australia ranks equal first for educational attainment among women and girls, but 70th for economic participation and opportunity” smh.com.au/national/the-stat…
😳 No. No we don’t.
We thank @karenandrewsmp for her leadership and long-term commitment to science and technology over the past two years.
We look forward to working with incoming Minister for Industry, Science and Technology, Christian Porter @cporterwa.

For a while I was the mother of a child with a rare disease. Thankfully today he is a thriving 7 year old, but you don’t ever forget. While we got to move on, others don’t, and I still think about that a lot.
Today is Rare Disease Day! Show your support for the rare disease community by retweeting.
An estimated two million Australians live with a rare disease. 300 million people globally live with a rare disease.

I've heard tell of academics telling other academics who are struggling with precarity and unemployment to "keep going" and "your time will come" and I cannot believe folks are saying this now, in February 2021, and yet here we are.
No. It's time to work toward a viable career.
I couldn’t agree more.
I’m not sure how I feel about #internationaldayofwomenansgirlsinscience this year. The fact that you can go from prize winning scientist to losing your job in 12 months because you were furloughed for childcare and couldn’t apply for grants suggests we need more than just a day.

35 publications needed to be funded at postdoc level 🤯 In other countries you’d be an Associate/Assistant Professor with that many papers, but in Australia you will barely make it through the door.
Looks at these 'metrics' and compare them to the best minds in your field globally 🤯 For me these postdocs are Kavli Prize winning HHMI professors...
