Many researchers spend more than 25% of their time each year simply applying for funding.

Funding our current grant schemes adequately will help to minimise this waste.

Global #trust in scientists remains high, especially among Australians — according to a study led by La Trobe and ANU.

80% of respondents support the assertion that scientists 'have a responsibility to communicate about science with the general public'. https://t.co/PAdoc0byf6

[Vermot Lab @VermotLab]

Ever wondered how to manipulate mechanical forces in the developing zebrafish heart?🤓
Check out our @JoVEJournal protocol by @CVagenaPantoula and Hajime, where we describe magnetic bead grafting as an effective approach to study #mechanotransduction!🐟🔬
