In short: Australia’s national research body, the CSIRO, will cut up to 500 jobs as part of a broader organisational restructure.
Non-research staff are affected, with some research roles already earmarked for cuts earlier this year.
What’s next? The CSIRO staff union has called on the government for more funding to ensure it can continue to carry out world-class research.
Jobs will continue to be cut until science gives us the answers we want!
