As you no doubt know, The University of Western Australia has started a process to shut SymbioticA down, SymbioticA has until the end of October to make a case as to why it should continue.   

Kathy High, Jennifer Willet and myself, all former residents at SymbioticA began a petition and social media campaign to #SaveSymbioticA and to convince UWA to continue their support.   We need to keep SymbioticA and its manifold impact in the publica gaze, so we are turning to you for your help.   

We are asking former residents, students, colleagues and associates to consider posting on any social media channels about their SymbioticA related projects as a way to demonstrate the extent and impact of its influence, what it has facilitated and enabled, and continued its relevance. A love letter to SymbioticA perhaps.

Any other projects, associations, outcomes that you feel are as a consequence of your working relationships to SymbioticA are also welcome, be it your lab, a conference, a workshop etc. It can be direct, it can be tangential.

THANK YOU for all of your help, at any volume in any capacity, it ALL helps
