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.

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.

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.

1 in 10 Australians will be diagnosed with a blood cancer. I’ve found a way to starve blood cancer cells of nutrients causing them to die. This could lead to new therapies. My research wasn’t funded this year so we’ll never know. #AdvanceAustraliaCare @GregHuntMP

Seriously guys, are we really trying to convince you how important FUNDING medical research is? During a global pandemic? In 2020, scientists are like the Avengers raining down hell on Thanos, with our vaccines and evidence-based medicine #AdvanceAustraliaCare @TheASMR1 – at Sydney, New South Wales

Every $ invested into the health & medical research sector by the @nhmrc returns ~ $3.20 in economic, social and health benefits @TheASMR1. High attrition rates in a highly skilled workforce equates to huge losses for 🇦🇺. The sector is on its knees. Things need to change now.
Dr Fallon Cook retweeted
Such mixed feelings watching the #SaveOzScience #AdvanceAustraliaCare #tags today. So proud that Aus scientists are doing such awesome research, but it's heartbreaking to know that with success rates @<10% much of it won't get funded. @TheASMR1 @GregHuntMP @tanya_plibersek

As an immediate band-aid to the problem, the government would need to invest an estimated $488m extra this year to cover all the Category 5 + 6 @nhmrc Ideas grants that missed out on funding.

The #advanceaustraliacare campaign is about progressing health, prosperity and equality for ALL Australians.
To achieve this we need more investment into discovery health and medical research to drive impactful and appropriate health care for all of Australia!

Australian researchers punch above our weight but we need resources to continue improving health for all Australians. @TheASMR1 #AdvanceAustraliaCare @UniversitySA @GregHuntMP @TonyZappia
Australian researchers have the capacity to do a lot more - if only there was adequate #NHMRC funding! We wanted to test a potential intervention against cardiovascular disease @TheASMR1 #advanceaustraliacare #auspol

Research can’t progress on thin air. The future of biomedical research in Australia is hanging by a thread. Many internationally recognised Aussie researchers are shutting down labs or moving overseas/not returning. Sig brain drain, loss of great talent. #discoveriesneeddollars
