24% of stroke patients falling into a 'black hole' after leaving hospital without a discharge plan or support needed. We know that 4-in-10 survivors will likely experience another stroke, but this can be reduced with better post-discharge care: bit.ly/3wR8Kxz

Australia should make a bold play to become a global science and tech superpower⁩. R&D is how we can get there. Great to set out the ⁦@ScienceAU⁩ case for this national vision in today’s oped in the AFR ⁦@FinancialReview. afr.com/work-and-careers/edu…

Why R&D spending needs to go forwards, not backwards

Australia’s spend on R&D is on an relentless decline. That trend need to be reversed and there are good economic reasons why.
