All I have seen on here for days is #ACNP2024 posts and the pain of jealousy hurts more than the unquestionable jetlag that would accompany such a trip. How does an extra-US gal like me score an invite for 2025?

The glass paperweight award I have always dreamed of. Couldn’t have done it without my amazing lab - who refuse to join this platform so may not have jobs for long 🩵

If your #NHMRC ideas grant was unsuccessful and you have a story to share about the impact of this on your #biomedicalresearch, career, team - get in touch. Federal DOH have asked #NARF to collect stories of impact of low funding. #SaveOzScience #DiscoveriesNeedDollars #EMCRs

If you really want to encounter a lot of views different from your own, go read some books. You don’t need right wing assholes screaming at you on social media for that. This can just be a place where you chill.

I want to start including a history & philosophy of science add-on to lab meetings, with the view to expand trainees’ thinking beyond the practicalities of lab-based experimental work. Any resource recommendations from my new 🦋 crew?
