#dp23

Credit where credit's due.

@arc_gov_au@twitter.com got #DiscoveryProjects #DP23 done in just over 6 months.

Thanks to ARC staff for this. It matters! The earlier these are announced, the better for Australian research & researchers.

Hopefully this is sustainable for ARC staff & processes.

Depressing #discoveryproject #DP23 #grant outcomes announced today for maths — 27 projects funded; only 3 led by women. Not even 12%. These numbers seem to be getting worse. How does anyone think this is acceptable? Most of these teams have no women at all

Incredibly excited to have a #DP23 grant get funded with @dangolding, Benjamin Nicoll, Helen Stuckey, and John Banks.

Our project, “Artistic Practice in Australian Videogame Development” will do what the image says, which is way more articulate than anything I could try to write now.
