Last week, Sydney Nano hosted a 3-day training bootcamp for PhD candidates, postdoctoral researchers, and early-to-mid career researchers (EMCRs) to advance their careers, in any industry. Over the course of the bootcamp, our cohort received invaluable training from highly-skilled leaders with opportunities to "learn by doing" and to network with peers, consolidating their knowledge and fostering new ideas. "I have learnt so much from different disciplinary participants (both attendees and presenters) for which I cannot thank you enough." - Dr Shumi Akhtar, Associate Professor at The University of Sydney Business School Thank you to our colleagues who generously gave their time to lead engaging and thought-provoking sessions across a variety of topics: - Research communication - A/Prof Alice Motion - Time management - Dr Gunther Schmidt - Invention vs Innovation - Dr Gunther Schmidt - Strategy - Dr Gunther Schmidt and Prof Stephen Bartlett - User-centric research - Prof Martin Tomitsch - Sustainable research & interdisciplinarity - A/Prof Alice Motion - Leadership - Dr Gunther Schmidt, Rupal Ismin, Greg Robinson, and A/Prof Alice Motion These sessions alongside our networking events throughout the bootcamp have led to emerging multi- and interdisciplinary collaborations within the cohort. We look forward to seeing these ideas crystallise over the coming months, with further opportunities for mentoring by Sydney Nano coaches throughout the year at our Future Leaders events and EMCR Development Node training. #LeadershipInAction #learningbydoing #networking #leadership #management #strategy #research #collaboration #sustainability #interdisciplinarity #multidisciplinarity #emcr #phd #innovation

Read our Director's, Professor Stephen Bartlett's, perspective on recent criticisms about the Australian government's investment in quantum technologies 👇

Sorry Larry Marshall but this is typical Australian defeatism. 'Building a quantum computer is too big of an ambition. We can't keep up with the other big nations. We should find a niche in the supply chain and be happy to play our small part.' The facts say otherwise. The CSIRO report on Australian quantum technologies that you commissioned gives ample data on Australia's global leadership in this space and our unique advantages. We have the talent, with the ARC Centre of Excellence for Engineered Quantum Systems, ARC Centre for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology and Sydney Quantum Academy and our world-leading universities producing hundreds of experts in quantum computing. We have companies like Diraq, QuantX Labs, Quantum Brilliance, Q-CTRL, and many more, building the best quantum tech right here at home and being lauded around the world for how Australia is doing it right. International tech companies like Microsoft and Infleqtion have major research labs here in Australia, not to sell product but to build it. Australia is the place to do quantum. We agree on one thing. We can't put all of our eggs in one basket. An Australian quantum computing industry will require the strength and success of many companies, including our home-grown quantum industry. The National Quantum Strategy sets out a big ambition, now delivered - in part! - by a massive investment in quantum computing manufacturing in Brisbane. Australia needs to follow through with this strategy and support the whole sector. Then we will truly tap into Australia's quantum potential.

🔬 Research led by the lead author Dr Nicholas Hunt from the Faculty of Medicine and Health - University of Sydney and Sydney Local Health District has developed a new type of oral insulin based on nanotechnology. In the future, it could offer the 75 million people worldwide who use insulin for diabetes a more effective and needle-free alternative. 💊 Researchers are using nanotechnology to create a pill form of the medication, which includes a nanocarrier that greatly increases the absorbance of insulin in the gut when consumed orally. “We wanted to devote our time to develop successful oral insulin technology because we believe it will help people with diabetes have more control over their condition,” said Dr Nicholas Hunt. The findings are published in Nature Nanotechnology: https://lnkd.in/gapckQTC Read more: https://lnkd.in/gSAgvMCe. Science, University of Sydney #diabetes #oralinsulin #medicine #health
