Congratulations to Mark Howden on being re-elected as an IPCC Working Group Vice-Chair! ANU Climate, Energy & Disaster Solutions

Early claims of this from another group shown to be fraud. This new group has more respectability but competitors in the field say their data and methods appear sloppy: (references to ArXiV given) science.org/content/articl…

RIP Tom Jarrett. You were a role model, friend, & one of my biggest supporters, but most of all, you were one of the most genuinely curious people I've ever met: a true academic & increasingly rare breed of scientist. I'm heartbroken to get this news today. You helped me get here

Much looking forward to this one.

A true loss to the community. Bob embodied one of the most admirable traits I have been wanting to emulate: focus, diligence, and indifference to optics and fame. Speaking with him made me realize how long a road I still had ahead to become a great scientist like him.

At National Press Club, Brian Schmidt and Richard Holden make the case for investment in basic research, noting that ideas are fundamental to productivity #ausecon
