I have been participating in the 'Science meets Parliament (SmP)' program by Science & Technology Australia, which connects the research community with important stakeholders such as policymakers, journalists, and politicians. This involvement helps to raise awareness about vital research contributions and to influence national policies. By providing detailed scientific knowledge to policymakers, I make sure that our research has a direct impact on policy decisions, supporting a science-informed parliament, and creating effective, evidence-based policies.
