Not supporting PhD and other higher degree students with a stipend you can live on is a false economy. It’s even worse for those studying part-time (often women, often with dependents).
We must support students better. It’s in everyone’s best interest. abc.net.au/news/2025-01-17/p…
And that’s a wrap on the work year! 2024 has been a big one, and I’m lucky to have this fantastic group to celebrate the wins and milestones with ✨

We are part of Nature, so it’s devastating to see a lack of political will from Labor to safeguard the future for all of us.
We have an opportunity to fix this.
