I & other colleagues have encouraged @ScienceMarchAu from start & I've given LOTS of advice public & private for range of reasons #marginsci
There are 5 learned academies in Australia. NONE have endorsed the @ScienceMarchAu Reason is likely not about being conservative. #marginsci

Despite how much I want
@ScienceMarchAu to be a success, like the global organisers, they have no clear vision for the march.#marginsci -
But you would still encourage attending right?

@Gordeauz because I've been giving the local@ScienceMarchAu marches advice advice the beginning -
I've seen through some of convos, looks like a great discussion!! Hopefully everyone is the better for it!

Those who value equity and diversity, leadership of Indigenous sci and AUS multiculturalism see diversity as central to
