Innate Immunologist interested in upsetting cells enough to drive inflammation (especially type I Interferons!)
The money is just sitting there...
while 30% kids with rare diseases don't see their 5th birthday
while cancer patients transition to palliative care
while neurodegenerative diseases take precious memories
while brilliant scientists run out of funding and lose their jobs
...it just seems insane

Half the funding. Half the future.
The Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) was meant to deliver $1B a year — only $650M is reaching researchers.
Join the call to release the full MRFF.

Everyone listen to A/Prof Sam!
This is so disappointing. Fundamental **aka DISCOVERY ** science underpins training of the next generation of scientists, irrespective of if they go into translation labs or not. Failure to support it = turning off the tap. No discoveries, nothing to translate. Weak workforce #NHMRC
My major note? It completely leaves out fundamental research as a priority 🤯
Which is wild, #NHMRC’s job is to "support the highest-quality research, from 👉BASIC science👈 through to clinical, public health and services research" (NHMRC Corporate Plan: nhmrc.gov.au)
