NHMRC Investigator Grant outcomes were announced today. Congratulations to those successful, commiserations to those who were not. Total $ awarded here👇🏻 This 🧵 shows the breakdown of gender & disciplines in ea of the 5 fellowship levels (no data provided for non-binary) 1/6. This shows the total amount of funding awarded in the NHMRC
These are the results for EL1. Most recipients were academic level A/B/C. One clinical male was level D as was one health services research woman. 2/6. This shows the outcomes for the earliest fellowship category
These are the results for EL2 recipients. All academic levels A/B/C except for the following: Clinical: men: 1 level E, 8 level D, women: 4 level D.
Basic: men: 1 level D.
Public health: women: 5 level D. Health services research: men: 1 level E, 3 level D, women: 1 level D. 3/6. These are the results for the emerging leader level 2 fellow
These are the results for L1. Starting to look very grim for women, public health & health services 😳.
Academic levels funded:
Clinical: men: 2 x E, 4 x D; women: 3 x E, 1 x D.
Basic: men: 5 x E, 5 x D, 1 x C; women: 1 x E, 1 x D, 1 x C.
Public Health: women: 1 x E, 1 x D. 4/6. This shows the total funding awarded at the investigator lev
Now for the outcomes for L2. Unfortunately there were not many awardees, all were level E except for 1 x level D male basic researcher. It’s very disappointing to see that only one basic research woman was successful (and highly deserving of this!). Health services only one 5/6. This shows the funding outcomes for NHMRC Investigator level
Finally the L3 outcomes (all level E). It’s a huge loss for women. And collectively the data prove that retention, not recruitment, of women in STEMM research is the biggest issue Australia has. The situation has not changed for over 30 years, despite increased awareness 🤷‍♀️. 6/6 These are the outcomes for the most senior fellowships. 37 m

Advice for junior lab heads on how to maintain productivity for future yrs (thanks @FZMarques for the thread suggestion, everyone pls add on any tips you think of that I overlook!). Thread 1/15
1st, congrats on becoming a lab head! You may have only just started your own lab or have had a lab for a while now but it is a steep learning curve irrespective & having support (mentorship, sponsorship) will make it easier to navigate. Seek this out. 2/15
We all have different leadership styles and continue to learn in leading. Take a leadership course when you can, as soon as you can (many are even available online). Ask your workplace to support you in this- these are valuable & should be compulsory for all lab heads IMO. 3/15

In the current climate I thought I would tweet more advice for researchers (esp #EMCRs) who may be stressed about the current situation & what #workingfromhome might mean for their productivity. I have already tweeted on critiquing a paper. This is for those who have data. 1/10
With no wet lab expts possible during lockdown, go thru your data thoroughly. Catch up on analysis if you are behind (a common scenario!). If you need specialised licensed software many of these have opened up public access due to #COVID19 so you can access from home. 2/10
If you haven’t already, start compiling graphs of your data. Start putting ea graph into a Fig (for thesis/manuscript). Each Fig should tell a cohesive part of your story. Look at ea Fig & decide if any data is needed to complete the Fig (more expt replicates, other expts) 3/10

Time for a thread, this is for #ECRchat #AcademicChatter tips for new graduate students/post-docs in the current #COVID19 climate, esp those #workingfromhome. First, stay calm. We are all in this together, we will get through this. Priorities are to be safe, happy & healthy. 1/16
There are many things you can do from home (note- you will need a device & internet access for the majority, if you don’t then access printed copies of publications). This is for grad students/post-docs starting in a new field but may be useful for all. First, read papers. 2/16
Start by reading reviews in your research topic. Your lab head is a start, either their own or suggestions. If you don’t know how to access papers, find out what electronic platform your research field regularly uses to search for publications with key words. Mine is PubMed. 3/16

It’s my 2nd week back at work in 2020. This is my 1st thread for the yr and is on collaborations. It’s not restricted to scientists, hopefully it is useful to many. Feel free to add anything I miss when finished. 1/n
2/n Definition of collaboration: “the action of working with someone to produce something.” Collaborations are not just about working together to help produce, eg data for a paper, etc, they include ppl helping with grant proposals and other initiatives.
3/n There is a wise saying (I don’t know the original source!) that collaborations are like relationships. Some work very well, others fail dismally. It doesn’t necessarily mean that either party is at fault, they just don’t work well together. Very sage advice to keep in mind!
