The Australian government spends $9bn funding science R&D each year. Where does it go and is it enough to tackle the problems we face?

Suppression of environment research is getting worse, say scientists

Nature - Survey finds that many researchers are banned from speaking about their work or have had their research altered to downplay risks.

This is important everybody. Very important. We can not allow this to disappear from view. It's not just the media that has to keep pushing this, it's all of us. Coffee shops, facebook, letters to the editor - whatever. Scott Morrison is in this up to his neck. #sportsrorts

For those of you Down Under, did you know that there’s a growing Australian Scienceogram? Check out @SarahScience1’s first investigation, uncovering how the Australian Government inflates its internal R&D stats…

We've analysed the Australian Government's Science, Research and Innovation Tables, and the result is startling. $9.6 bn for R&D in 2018/2019? Less than $7 bn, according to the OECD definition of R&D. Read more here... scienceogramaustralia.com/20…

This is mesmerising… How human carbon dioxide emissions have changed the carbon cycle: xitter.cf/RARohde/status/1131224…

Animated diagram of the Earth's Carbon Cycle and how it has changed over time. Carbon, in various forms including CO2 and organic materials, is continually exchanged between the atmosphere, oceans, and biosphere. However, human activities have perturbed the carbon cycle.

We’re thrilled that @unimelb has been selected as a finalist for the @Macquarie 50th Anniversary Award for @FREO2_AU. If successful @FREO2_AU will get $10m to roll out the project to Uganda and the Pacific saving the lives of countless children go.unimelb.edu.au/ae3x @SciMelb

MIND BLOWN: a #fungi expert sampled fifteen pieces of mushroom from a supermarket jar of porcini mushrooms. They found that there were three species in the jar, NONE of which were porcini mushroms, and ALL were unknown to science. 🤯🍄🤯🍄🤯🍄 @curataceae at #NatSCA2019

Just learned that I received a grant for which my cat accidentally clicked 'submit' while I was out walking the dog Mochi now has a higher grant hit-rate than I do and will be submitting all of my applications until further notice Here she is looking unimpressed:

It's about time we arrest the haemorrhaging in #STEM funding for the good of the country #auspol theconversation.com/stem-is-…

STEM is worth investing in, but Australia’s major parties offer scant details on policy and funding

We’ve had ten federal ministers with titular responsibility for science since 2007 – five under the coalition and five under Labor. That variation and a lack of consistent vision has an impact.

I love this picture, it's just so *human* and something we can all relate to. I've had this feeling from my own work. Without doubt everyone has had it from something. This is a side of being a scientist that needs to be used in #SciComm more often, the giddy excited side.

Quite something to see the White Cliffs of Dover turn blue. But the European project is much more than a lifebuoy. It's our rock on which we have to build our future, especially in turbulent times. (📷 = @ByDonkeys)

One of my favorite days on @Space_Station. 90 mins/One complete orbit of the Earth that we took pictures of our home planet from above & encouraged those on the ground to take & share pictures at the same time during #1World1Orbit. Take a look at a few of our favorite images!

#1World1Orbit – Best of
