Are you a top US-based scientist looking to relocate to #Australia?

The Australian Academy of #Science is now offering generous relocation packages and guaranteed #research funding.

@KathyReid If you read or hear about generous relocation packages to Europe, might be best to check those out first, because Australian universities are down-sizing right now.

@KathyReid Can't help but think that a top researcher could write their own ticket to wherever they wanted.

@KathyReid I really wish these initiatives would stop going after "top" scientists, who are arguably best-positioned to weather the storm and fight for US research, and instead focus on rescuing the generation of early-career scientists who are being driven out of research altogether by the Trump regime's policies. All the European countries' initiatives I've seen are doing the same thing as this one. It's a short-sighted approach that, in my humble opinion, also does the least amount of good.

@KathyReid what about mediocre early career scientists that are finishing their PhD in this shit-storm?

@KathyReid Is science.gov.au packaging it to US-based researchers only, rests on the assumption that researchers in US are high quality simply by their affiliation to the US?

Why not open it up to the global pool? Surely there are great minds in other crisis-ridden parts of the world, also in need of relocation packages.

@morgoth_bauglir75 I can't speak to the assumptions of the initiative, sorry

@CryogenicIce9 major points for the Klingon reference, but it's actually this building, the home of the Academy:

@KathyReid I’m a nearly retirement aged burden on society.

Got any of those sweet, sweet reloc packages for me?

@KathyReid Yeah, I figured you'd only want to cherry pick your immigrants. Nice to know you're no better than us.

I used to drink 8-9 coffees per day, five of which were before noon. I didn't have a problem drinking a coffee late in the evening. I thought to myself, if I can fall asleep, there's no problem.
