To be fair the majority of people we interacted with were amazing beautiful people, and overall France was an amazing place. But there is a distinct minority who were less than pleasant. Unrelatedly here’s a map.

I know I look like a dufus on my scooter…but getting swooped on a cold winters day in BrisVegas is a tad much no?

These two charts sum up just how bad things have gotten. The flip side is the massive increased pressure on low-success rates for grant funding, creating huge waste of resources on failed applications, further reducing our R&D capacity.

To clarify, you can hold a maximum of 5 terms across the 3 Leadership Levels. Here are some examples of how that might play out through someone's career. The Investigator scheme was always designed for repeat winners at the leadership level.

Finally got around to doing some analysis on what reapplying #NHMRC investigator grant holders* are having on the scheme.
L2/L3 heavily impacted, with ~70% of the 2025 round going to previous winners.

Food for thought for 1st timers trying to get in

*dependent on identical names across rounds.

30 years ago I snuck into my first #Custard concert as a 17y old…was awesome to see them again live. Have been trying to see them since 2018 but a snapped achillies and 2x Covid…got in the way. 4th times the charm…So much fun and joy.

Well I guess everyone is doing this so here is my year in review not on #spotify, but #AppleMusic
Surprisingly my daughter constantly using my account hasn’t seemed to result in Taylor Swift topping the charts. Hanging out to see #Custard live in a few weeks 🥳
