For researchers at #ScienceMeetsParliament, please thank the "Ayes" below, in person, for passing the #ARCReview Response Bill today.

If you meet any "Noes", tell them why it's so important for research & researchers to know research grants won't be vetoed for political purposes.

The month of #ScienceWeek begins! I've got an action-packed ~5 weeks coming up, full of #SciComm and #Space content all around lutruwita / #Tasmania! If you're keen to hang out, or see some great local #science content, check out some of the events below ๐Ÿ‘‡

Young Tassie Scientists After Hours - Beaker Street

Beaker Street

I'm honoured to be named as one of two reps for #StatSocAu to attend Science & Technology Australia's #ScienceMeetsParliament 2023.

My partner-in-crime will be @MelissaMiddleton and we'll do our best to pick up new skills and speak up for #STEM and #stats in particular.

I'm open to any advice on how to best leverage this opportunity for not just for myself but the statistics profession more broadly.
