Yesterday we farewelled our darling sister Caitlin, who died peacefully at home on Feburary 22nd. Cancer took her from us too soon, as it did her beloved husband Adam in 2021. Any contribution to their two precious daughters would be greatly appreciated. mycause.com.au/p/306645/for-…

His contribution to medical research was extraordinary, a truly brilliant man. Contributing to science right up until his last days. Vale Emeritus Professor Bryon Kakulas AO.
It is with great sadness we announce the recent passing of our Founding Director, Emeritus Professor Byron Kakulas AO. Our thoughts are with his wife, Valerie and family. We will miss him coming into the office every day and are grateful for his lasting legacy. Vale Byron.

An incredible tale of #researchdiscovery! 20 years ago, the hunt for a gene behind a facial congenital disease began at @PerkinsComms with (then PhD student) Dr David Chandler & Prof Nigel Laing AO. They worked with the world’s largest family affected by #hemifacialmicrosomia 👇

While not all the proposed changes recommended by AAMRI were adopted, we are pleased to see that Leadership Grants will be divided equally by gender, an important step towards retaining our women & non-binary researchers & addressing gender inequity. aamri.org.au/news-events/med…

An important look into the job insecurity reality of many of our scientists via @benschneiders This most profoundly impacts mid career researchers and women. The pandemic has made an already difficult situation worse. So much potential for improvement here. – at Melbourne, Victoria
