The smart country? The lucky country? Want Australia to take on big problems or find out basic information about questions that researchers have? Well we're not funding it in this country. @JasonClareMP what's the plan to make us competitive on the world stage?

Thank a million to @FightMND and all donors for helping us boost our research into understanding and finding a cure for MND! Our work will take a completely new pace thanks to a FightMND Impact Grant! So excited for our future outcomes and opportunities! @Griffith_Uni @GRIDD_GU
This year we are investing $20.2 million into MND research and care. This brings our total investment since 2014 to $95.37 million. Together with our FightMND Army we are changing the future for people living with MND. Stay tuned for research and care updates. 💙 #FightMND

Today Academy President Prof Chennupati Jagadish AC spoke with @PatsKarvelas about the 14-year ⬇️ trend in national R&D investment. Australia is well below the @OECD average (21st) and if this trend continues, within 5 years we'll rank among the lowest of all OECD countries.
