There are a few things Aussies and Brits have in common.
A passion to make the world a better place is one of them.
That's why we're excited to be partnering with @UKRI_News. Here are some of the challenges we'll be tackling together: csiro.au/en/news/All/Article…

It is rare you get to help start something in one job and finish in another. From a concept of a funding idea to the start of the actual research is thrilling. I met with @y_buckley to learn more & so much will come of this co-centre 🎉🥳👇

This CoCentre involves 60+ researchers exploring solutions for climate, biodiversity & water issues on islands of Ireland & GB.
Co-Directors: @y_buckley & @MEecoprof
Deputy Director: @ed_hawkins
It is not my favourite task to be filmed. But it was genuinely inspirational to hear from the @CINUK_ARP researchers about what they're doing but also how. #inclusion
Climate change knows no borders. Because of this, international collaboration is crucial.
@CINUK_ARP, which unites funders like us, rights holders and researchers, supports 13 projects addressing climate-driven changes in Inuit Nunangat.

I enjoyed discussing with our German partners how we can build on our extremely broad and strong partnership. We have ties at all levels from strategic (@UKRI_News - @dfg_public MoU to align our systems) to the personal incl my 👶 being born in Berlin #ScienceIsCollaboration
Germany is the UK's 2nd-largest partner in both trade & research 🇬🇧👩🔬🔬🧪🇩🇪
Together with @starkwatzinger, I’ve set out plans to maximise our science & tech links, which will be critical to creating high-skill jobs & building the businesses of tomorrow

In April 2002, @The_MRC, @wellcometrust and @DHSCgovuk announced £45m start-up funding to @uk_biobank. Since then, with continued MRC support, it’s blossomed into the world’s most important health research database. It could hold the key to treatments for countless diseases.
🧬@UK_Biobank makes a huge contribution to science.
Its research has the potential to detect Parkinson’s sooner, and tackle heart disease.
This week @michelledonelan visited Manchester Science Park to officially mark the future site of UK Biobank’s new £75m centre.
