You wouldn’t read an article on rockets and planets and claim to be an astronaut or a pilot...

Empower yourself with knowledge, but acknowledge where your limitations are.

2h on YouTube is no substitute for the knowledge of experts with decades of medical or scientific education, a century of fervent progressive research and refinement, stringent quality control, and huge advances in technology.

Health and medical researchers are highly trained + specialised, most having a minimum of 6 years university education + a doctorate in their area of specialty + years of continuing education and development.

Right now, Australian medical research is at a crisis point. More @nhmrc funding support is urgently needed to prevent the collapse of discovery science. There are untold costs of training scientists, then underfunding the system. We are driven overseas - along with our ideas.

At the Australian Society for Medical Research, we have been for advocating for Australia's Health and Medical Research workforce since 1961.
