The NHMRC yesterday announced final allocations for the year. The 2025 success rate for Ideas grants was 10%, Investigator grants 13%, and Clinical Trials 9%.
Australia's total spend on healthcare and technology innovation in medicine and biotech from the Medical Research Endowment Account and Medical Research Future Fund this year will equate to the cost of 0.004 submarines.
We're spending more on a single submarine than we'll spend on medical research in 30 years.
Medical research matters. A clever country invests in the things that matter.
This new paper from @EdResearchAU is very welcome. It highlights something I have been concerned with for a long time now which is the implementation problem.
The main barrier to better teaching in many schools is not a lack of evidence but a lack of any kind of serious implementation. The same approaches that can thrive in one school can fail in another, depending on the quality of implementation, not the quality of the research. Some very useful guidance here: https://t.co/iArttJtZsY

ITโS HERE! The Writing Framework has landed!
๐จ ITโS A BELTER! A powerful blend of explanation and practical advice for teaching writing, both transcription and composition.
โThe best moments during writing are when pupils are so absorbed in their creations that they lose all sense of time, and when they read what they have written and experience the thrill of creating with words and language.โ
Explicit instruction, direct deliberate teaching and knowledge pupils need to write with confidence and purpose.
It must be TAUGHT not CAUGHT!
Writing matters because it cements learning in long term memory.
A MUST, MUST read if you want to be a better teacher of writing.

Wow!! The graduation ceremony this morning saw us celebrating the achievements of 520 Flinders University graduates including two of my PhD students. These are clever and lovely women! Congratulations Annemarie and Denise ๐๐๐
Once again, matching teaching to learning styles has near-zero impact on student achievement. I've noticed a resurgence of the learning styles myth recently so this new study is timely. ๐งต โฌ๏ธ
