Unfortunately you will have to wait for a while- I am heading on leave for the rest of the year soon. Appalling outcomes, commiserations to those who missed out, congratulations to the lucky ones funded. Let’s hope our Government invest more in research soon- it’s critical times.
An abismal 8% success rate for this year’s #NHMRC #IdeasGrant scheme. Must be an all time low. Congratulations to those successful, you really earned it! Commiserations to the NINETY TWO percent of applicants who didn’t get it… #australianresearch #discoveriesneeddollars 🥼🧪🔬🧫 🇦🇺

The more senior you become in your career the more you are invited to write reference letters for promotion of others.These take a lot of time but it always makes me happy when I see many deserving ppl being promoted (esp underserved gps). This wk news of another success & just submitted another 😊 🤞🏻
Are you a hematology researcher and interested in serving on an @isehsociety.bsky.social committee? Please sign up in the link👇🏻 - we use this to help identify & recruit new members for various committees. We have many different committees to choose from, indicate how many are of interest to you!
Thanks to @lindemileslab.bsky.social and @challenlab.bsky.social (& team) for writing our first commentary for @isehsociety.bsky.social journal Experimental Hematology! Two recent papers on Clonal Hematopoiesis- want to learn more? Read the link here 👇🏻
Excited to see the first commentary in Experimental Hematology (@isehsociety.bsky.social)! Kudos to Aishwarya, Linde @lindemileslab.bsky.social, and Grant @challenlab.bsky.social for highlighting recent papers in Exp Hem on cell-extrinsic factors in Tet2-mutant clonal hematopoiesis!! bit.ly/4k3pEAI
In this month's #PreprintWatch we’re diving into studies using less explored animal models and exciting technologies pushing the boundaries of advanced cell culture. And don't miss the video chat with Christiana Georgiou from the Lo Celso Lab www.simplyblood.org
That was a great chat, Christiana really nailed it! Have a look, her work is an absolute must, and a really original approach to long-standing questions on HSCs division
Submit an application to ISEH's Call for Volunteers! Let us know where you'd like to make an impact and apply by 11 June 👉 www.iseh.org/ISEHCommittees
#NHMRC
All 4 disciplines shown for both 2024 and 2025 outcomes and for men and women separately. No data for non-binary people available.
EL2 = emerging leader 2
L1 = Leadership 1
L2 = Leadership 2
L3 = Leadership 3
No data for EL1 because you cannot reapply for EL1.
Good luck to those applying!
Adding on to these data on chances of success in having successive NHMRC Investigator Grants funded, here are data showing the levels (EL2 & above) & the % of recipients who were previously funded, either at earlier levels (eg EL1 applying for EL2) or at the same level (eg L3 being renewed). 👇🏻
If an 🇦🇺 #biomed researcher, 🙏 consider 📝 this letter to #NHMRC advocating for ⬆️ flexibility around part-time work with #investigatorgrants. This will go some way to reducing barriers encountered by those who work part-time, incl. women of young children #womeninSTEM docs.google.com/document/d/1...
Finally got around to doing some analysis on what reapplying #NHMRC investigator grant holders* are having on the scheme.
L2/L3 heavily impacted, with ~70% of the 2025 round going to previous winners.
Food for thought for 1st timers trying to get in
*dependent on identical names across rounds.
I am very sorry for your loss, An ♥️♥️♥️
Congratulations Stephanie! 😊🎉🎉🎉
Stephanie Xie lab logo
This month has been a whirlwind. I am happy to announce I am the newest Scientist @pmresearch-uhn.bsky.social
The Xie lab 🧪will focus on understanding how inflammatory and metabolic stress promote aging and cancer risk in human🩸hematopoietic stem cells and preventative interventions.
I am honored to have been selected by my colleagues to serve a 4-year term as vice president & president of the International Society of Experimental Hematology. Now, as ever, uniting, empowering and inspiring our collective scientific community to press on is essential.
I 💯 agree!!!
I am currently analysing that data… Hope to post it in the near future!
I can’t say it better than Mick 👇🏻- if you are an @isehsociety.bsky.social member please vote for the next leaders-many tough decisions here, all outstanding candidates! The society is definitely in great hands 😊
One week left for abstract submission!
