Excited to announce that I'm taking flight. I will be leaving the University of Adelaide at the end of July to become Professor and Chair of the Philosophy Group at Wageningen University! Lots of new opportunities and collabs ahead, though I hope to remain affiliated with the new Adelaide Uni.

The catastrophically low success rate isn’t because more researchers are applying. No, the *opposite is true*: application numbers are also at historic lows. Researchers aren’t applying because it’s not worth their time. Fewer people, employing fewer people. Get the picture?
Graph showing number of Australian Research Council Discovery Projects applications, and their success rate, each year since 2002. The sharp decline in success rate since 2020 is not due to an increase in the number of applications. In fact, the latter is at historic lows.
