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.

Hey @KingOfPathogens we had a terrific Immunology session at BioMalPar this week in Heidelberg. @McfaddenGeoff even asked a immunologyish question. But am I correct in understanding from the session that you folks are still not all *100%* agreed about how we aquire immunity?

Malaria colleagues, please do join in this online game of “Where’s Wally?” at BioMalPar, as well as the advanced version for we ageing members: “Where’s Wally’s growing bald patch?” #EMBLMalaria

Is it only parasitologists that are happy to sit through one talk on maggots, then another on worms in horseshit before an evening meal together? What other weirdos do this? Great to get together with the Melbourne @AS_Para folks- thanks @LucasHuggins3 for organising.

Terrific scheme - particularly note the support for longer study travel by, for example parasitologists and other biomedical scientists

Wonderful overview at #Lorneiandi of the current status and future threats of influenza from Patrick Reading @WHOCCFluMelb @UniMelbMDHS. Some scary scenarios, lucky to have such dedicated and clever people working on this @The_VIIN

As usual, some lovely microscopy from @LiffnerBen, showing unprecedented detail of how Plasmodium sporozoites get made and how they work. #Lorneiandi @The_VIIN
