Answer: when they let Trump back in.
Question: what is the trigger point at which we should all leave Twitter? Maybe when it functions as a platform upon which the amount of disinformation amplified exceeds the amount of information? Has that just happened?

This experience just reinforced to me that academia continues to assess individuals not on their merit (as we often like to tell ourselves), but on who they are/where they trained/where they do their science among other things. (15/n)

Our new research paper on the performance of home compostable plastics is out. Sadly they dont work. Less packaging and disposable products is a better way to protect the environment. See examples below and all the data compiled by the ace @DaniellePurkiss

Sadly, there was a 10% reduction in overall number of applicants to the @NHMRC Investigator Grant scheme in 2022 cf.2021 & 10% fewer grants funded. The ASMR, supported by Affiliates and other key stakeholders in our sector, have published an Alliance letter. More below 👇
After >11y of stagnant @NHMRC + ARC funding, discovery research forming the foundation of healthcare innovation & improved patient care is in jeopardy. With key stakeholders in the sector, we call on our political leaders for action. Our alliance letter: asmr.org.au/wp-content/uploa…
