I’m very excited to share our new pre-print! What started as my spreadsheet to track genomic testing in paediatric immunology, has become a nearly 10y audit of genomic testing outcomes. The paper may have already been rejected twice, but I think it’s seriously cool data!

Evaluating mainstreaming in pediatric immunology: an optimal model of care

Purpose While genomic testing is integral to pediatric inborn errors of immunity (IEI) care, few studies have examined strategies to support its optimal delivery. This study aimed to characterize a pe...

Right now, the Government is starving medical research of full funding, even as it claims that science and research are national priorities. If our leaders truly value science as much as they say, then they must back their words with action—and fund it properly. Join the campaign!

When less is more: with the runaway train of #scientificpublishing under increasing strain, Prof @aidybarnett.bsky.social argues in @nature.com that slowing down is critical to avoid system collapse. This year, he plans to halve his publication output. 🔎 Would you consider #slowscience?

I’m going to halve my publication output. You should consider slow science, too

The success rate for NHMRC Ideas Grants announced yesterday was just over 8%. That means 11 of every 12 people who applied got rejected. This is a culture changing level of rejection and frankly a point of national shame. This is a crisis for research. I will not rest until we see this resolved.

Frikkin amazing stuff.
