The Professional Scientists Employment and Remuneration Report 2020-21 was released today by Science & Technology Australia (STA) in partnership with Professional Scientists Australia.
Science & Technology Chief Executive Officer Misha Schubert said the report identified a disconnect between the clear value of science to our community – and tangible recognition of scientists.
