The hidden impact of injuries costing AFL clubs millions
New research highlights the financial impact of injuries in the AFL, with one club losing $13 millions over six seasons, nearly 17 per cent of its total player salaries.

It is critical we maintain & build trust in science. Most people in most countries do trust scientists, AND agree that scientists should engage more in society & policy making. For those of us working in health and equity, this is not the time to be silent. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Trust in scientists and their role in society across 68 countries - Nature Human Behaviour
