Good to see growth in positive perceptions, but we're seeing the same objections around cost and career risk
My take: That's what's stopping us

Hmmm. The comments on #CoARA may have proved too difficult to address.
One would hope this may hint at the national-level research evaluation framework being reassessed, but it's probably easier to just withdraw the submission and continue as usual
