Kathryn Robison, PhD

Since I've stepped away from Twitter in my personal life, I am trying out an account dedicated to my professional life. What can you expect here? Space, politics, and interesting research. All views/opinions are my own; often informed by my own and other peer-reviewed research.

Every Australian relies on space; the government can’t afford to ignore its impact on economic and national security. I write about why in my latest for the Financial Review: afr.com/technology/aus…

The Trump administration has already caused massive upheaval among the scientific community, with cuts to research funding , but this is concerning: reuters.com/world/french-s…. The US is a leader in scientific research and that research pays massive dividends to its economy.

I’m very jet lagged, so haven’t closely followed everything today, but Trump promised to lower costs for Americans; so far he’s rescinded the EO that lowered prescription costs for seniors and told federal workers no more WFH - both of which will raise costs for many people.

Always a pleasure to chat with @BFMradio about US politics: bfm.my/content/podcas….
