Science Funding: Is ours optimal?

Andrea Leong at Moonshot 2018 for the Sydney Science Festival.

Dr Andrea Leong is an executive member of the federal Science Party and the leader of the New South Wales state branch. She studied Biomedical Science at Monash University in Melbourne, than worked in the Biointerface Engineering group at Swinburne University. She moved to Sydney in 2011 to do a PhD on antibacterial surface coatings with the Brien Holden Vision Institute and UNSW. Andrea now works in microbiome research for “small pharma”. Having seen collaborative bioscience from academic, not-for-profit and industry perspectives, Andrea is interested in how this work is supported and whether we’re doing it right.
