If I had to describe my career arc in a word, I'd say unconventional. Or to be a proper scientist, non-linear.
With the help of our earliest philanthropic benefactors, we built a home for the Academy.
Across the years since then, private gifts and bequests have provided enduring support which has enabled the Academy to recognise and grow Australia’s scientific excellence.
Some great articles and blog posts of interest to EMCRs from around the web.
Have you recently read something you think would interest other EMCRs? Send it through to us at emcr@science.org.au so we can share it with EMCRs around the country.
The Royal Society of New Zealand has just launched an Early Career Researcher Forum that seeks to represent the national voice of New Zealand’s ECR community and celebrate their achievements and contributions in the fields of physical, biological, and social sciences, as well as the humanities.

Science priorities for Australian innovation
On 25 May 2016, the Australian Academy of Science made the following statement regarding science priorities for Australia.
Delivered 9 am Wednesday 25 May 2016, Shine Dome, Canberra
E&OE: CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY
Australian Academy of Science President, Professor Andrew Holmes AM PresAA FRS FTSE
Fellows of the Academy, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen.
Before we begin the proceedings, I would like to acknowledge and pay respect to the traditional owners of the land on which we meet—the Ngunnawal people of the Wiradjuri Nation. It is upon their ancestral lands that the Australian Academy of Science is built.
On 6 June 2016, the Academy made a submission to the Productivity Commission’s inquiry into the national educational evidence base.
Six women and 15 men have been elected to the Academy for their outstanding contributions to science.
