First ride and ocean swim of the year in the big blue antidepressant. There's beauty out there, fish, seaweed and seagrass.. and so far no stingers!

Australia’s hyper-competitive grant system is harming the very researchers working to improve our nation’s health. Chronic stress, relationship breakdowns, depression, burnout, self-medication, and, tragically, suicide are part of our sector's reality. www.linkedin.com/posts/alforr...

Chances are you're about to lose. Science funding in Australia is now a gamble with terrible odds. #NHMRC Ideas success rates have hit 8.1% nationally, <4% in WA. Brilliant colleagues are leaving or quitting. We need change. www.linkedin.com/posts/alforr...

Chelsea Mayoh at #abacbs2025: "If you're not using RNA-seq in your precision medicine program you're probably missing stuff"! Great to see @aliciao.bsky.social lab tools MINTIE, ALLsorts and TALLsorts making an appearance 🎉

It's time... theconversation.com/how-the-war-...

When I took this job as the Head of a department, I never thought my job would involve consoling & moving on some of my most talented researchers at the end of each year - just bc their ARC/NHMRC grant didn’t get up. Having worked in multiple countries, I have never seen this normalised like in Aus.

The success rate for NHMRC Ideas Grants announced yesterday was just over 8%. That means 11 of every 12 people who applied got rejected. This is a culture changing level of rejection and frankly a point of national shame. This is a crisis for research. I will not rest until we see this resolved.

Be kind to each other.. bad news for most coming in under embargo. We need more funding in the system...

The ARC has “announced” an update on the proposed changes to its grant schemes. Key changes, in response to “nearly 350” submissions” (!) on their proposal, are 👇 More here: www.arc.gov.au/news-publica...

The ARC Board has proposed a major shake-up of the National Competitive Grants Program ▶️ www.arc.gov.au/engage-us/co... I've only skimmed so far, but they propose reducing 13 grant schemes to 6, with intent & scope in the table👇 Submissions are being accepted in response until 13 April. Get to it!

I've been catching up on some reading and came across this paper. Ovarian cancers export a cancer-specific #lncRNA, Tu-stroma, to TME via exosomes. Tu-stroma alters spicing of flower gene in stromal cells to reduce cell fitness. Such a cool mechanism.

Sridevi Challa, Lee Kraus et al. discover a druggable PARP14/TARG1-regulated pathway that mediates site-specific mono(ADP-ribosyl)ation of the ribosomal protein RACK1 & modulates the growth of ovarian #cancer cells. https://buff.ly/3DOejo4
