Australian universities have suffered 17,000 job losses & the closure of programs in maths, music, drama & neuroscience. On international students, we’ve gone from Menzies’ Colombo Plan to Morrison’s “time to go home”. It’s mindlessly myopic. https://t.co/w6R624niDv #auspol
This is so wrong for so many reasons. For years, researchers at The Eccles Institute have made major discoveries that every Australian neuroscientist is proud of, and yet they want to shut it? I really hope #ANU will reverse this decision. #saveEccles@JCSMR@ANU@AusNeuroSoc
Cutting neuroscience at ANU, especially in the context of the potential neurological consequences of COVID-19, is shortsighted at best.

We need neuroscience research!

A whole Neuroscience Institute closing doors? Really???
What about the #EMCR, #PhD, honours, undergraduates students, and supporting staff?

Signed - but this letter also needs sending to the government - if we don’t short circuit the discussion and bring the people along to understand the importance of discovery science as an engine of translation this process will continue — its a bigger broader issue of scientific
This has been incredible - thank you everyone for your support! We have over 2000 signatures for our petition, which is a massive response. Please continue to sign and share https://t.co/VNrjKG4dBC to help #saveEccles
Absolutely shocked at this terrible decision by ANU. The Eccles Institute produces amazing science and should be appreciated rather than delivered this slap in the face. #saveEccles

Please consider signing this petition to reverse the ANU's decision to close their Neuroscience institute because of a funding shortfall. Such a short-sighted and gut-wrenching decision.

So devastated to hear that #ANU@ANUmedia is getting rid of the Eccles Institute of Neuroscience. So much incredible research & invaluable discoveries will be lost #saveEccles
If the Eccles Institute of Neuroscience loses Group Leaders, it directly impacts many. These are Masters, PhD and Honours students who would need to quit, re-start, or re-locate their research. Many are years into their projects. Students cannot just continue without supervisors.
The impacts of this move are far reaching and great. The decision by ANU to close the Eccles Institute of Neuroscience Research School is disgusting. In a time where we are moving towards trauma-informed approaches improving services for vulnerable Australians..(1/2) #saveEccles
https://t.co/k2fUPGAudU the ANU plans to disestablish its neuroscience department. Please sign and share to show support in reversing this misguided decision. #saveEccles#ANU#neuroscience
