Finally, in some non-conference news, I'll be speaking at this year's Melb Pint of Science AU! Come join me, Dr Elodie Camprasse (she/her) 👩‍🔬🗺️🤿📷 and Jeff Hughes for a night of #WeirdandWonderfulBiology!

Wow, that's a *lot* of government investment in one #quantum company! H/T Igor The per capita equivalent in NZ would be a ~NZ$200m investment - more than double what is about to expire in the #nzscience system, spread over ALL our National Science Challenges.

as i was saying from the get go - it was a wrong decision by Anthony Albanese Australian Labor to put Billions into a single company without a product. #quantum afr.com/technology/ex-…

Celebrating 7 years of #innovation, #collaboration, and #impact at the FLEET Centre Landing! Gratitude to all who contributed to FLEET! Together, we've made impact across Knowledge Advancement, Sustainability, Capacity, STEM-Ed, Innovation and Leadership. youtu.be/_Yys3Iff1iU?si…

Honestly - a few of the replies to this little tribute to engineering excellence exhibit a level of stupidity that suggests to me that it won’t be long before our spacecraft are the only thing that remains of our increasingly dim-witted civilisation. Until recently my guess has

Managed well, nuclear power can help a lot. We export uranium, and many other countries use it as a clean energy. We already manage a nuclear reactor (yes, AUS has one 4 medicine and research) very close to Sydney ANSTO. This is achievable. #auspoł #NucFantasy #NuclearPowerAU

Excellent confirmation seminar by Chris McNeill member Geoffrey (Qizhe) Tang this arvo! Cool to see the advantage electrochemical doping can add to soft matter. Lots of results + an excellent intro to investigating OECT through transport and x-ray scattering techniques!

Wishing a very happy #NewYear2025 from Bhattacharyya group. We are still looking for a #Postdoc to join our vibrant team to work in the area of #transport in #vdw heterostructures.

Excellent graphics and data for understanding Australia's energy market, as well as understanding if nuclear has a role. abc.net.au/news/2025-04-2… #auspol
