By the way, it was ten years ago to this day I was sexually assaulted at the AGU (American Geophysical Union) meeting in San Francisco by a @Smithsonian scientist. Institutions must finally #BelieveSurvivors so no other woman feels she has no choice but stay silent for so long again. #JustLetMeDoScience

Just a reminder: The largest COVID super spreader event - possibly in the world - was when an Omicron-infected NSW man attended a rave party for 3 hours, in which he infected 200 people. But Morrison says if it's less than 4 hours, or only casual contact, no one needs testing.

It's dawning on us that we can't send our kids to kinder/school in a few weeks. This article lays it all out very clearly.

I honestly can’t remember a more succinct articulation of the racist trope that Indigenous ppl are ‘stuck in the past’ than suggesting that Indigenous ppl choose the bondage of pain of suffering due to our inability to forgive white ppl…

Ok plant twitter... Does anyone know any good papers about the factors that make some plants narrowly endemic? There are stacks of single-species studies, but i'm looking for big picture stuff. #botany #ecology #plants #plantsci @determined_lou and I need your help

I love fieldwork. It's my favourite part of research. But I am often on my own, and these are the parts I don't like: A thread 🧵

New paper out: A new perspective on Late Eocene and Oligocene vegetation and paleoclimates of South-eastern Australia I had a lot of fun working with Ian Sluiter's amazing data on this one #palynology #paleoclimates sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Based on this 38c/hr, Morrison's base income alone would cover the gap in the pay rise for almost 1.5 million hours of min wage work each year, or about 850 years of 1FTE min wage work. It's a start? #auspol

Watching abc730 and awed by the horizonless confidence of a man who's repeatedly failed, publicly and profoundly. He might love coal, but the PM's shamelessness is the truly this country's most renewable resource.

Tried to put the new #HarryStyles album on for the kids and accidentally put on an album called Harry's House by the Jack Kerouac school of disembodied poets and kids were devastated by Harry's new direction

5yo just asked: if the world has no start and no end does that mean humans stand sideways? I think I know what he means. I think the answer is yes.

Session 1 of Biodiversity across the Borders #BXB22 at Federation University Ballarat will be live streamed tomorrow (10th June). Keynote and plenary talks from Brendan Wintle @kt_holmes38 Paul Gibson-Roy and @LizZnidersic Stream: stream.slcaust.com.au/94447.html

#BXB22 Paul Gibson-Roy: most of our native grasslands classified as low priority for restoration, and unlikely to secure funding - our most threatened ecosystem! Absolute madness.

my best writing advice for students

I talked to the Courier about the State of Environment report (subscription required). Nice work by Malvika Some great community enviro initiatives in Ballarat, and hoping SoE will help garner some more support for local action.

My heart is broken for Cassius, his mum, brothers and family. For our Noongar community and for our kids, we are not safe and have been saying this forever to closed minds who continually say Australia is not racist. Brutally killed for being Aboriginal. fb.watch/gnoN_7ap5i/

Was lucky enough to see Nick Cave at Hanging Rock tonight. Pretty amazing show.

Well played, KK.
