Letter from the Australian Government Department of Education, Jason Clare MP, re #misconduct and #mistreatment of #internationalstudents Macquarie University . The Australian Government sadly doesn't take responsibility, but sympathised and offered legal advice. And all MQ's mistakes are now on their radar. #StayTuned #SpeakUp

Being A Foreign Student In Australia Broke Me Former international student, Julien, shares his experiences of studying in Australia where he talks about how he endured periods of homelessness. #SeenTV #IAmSeen #Homeless #InternationalStudent #Australia #Student

Decorating campus during belated graduation celebration. Security and Police also joined the party. Flagging injustice and reality is apparently a crime. Thank you Macquarie University Macquarie University School of Natural Sciences NSW Police Force Jason Clare MP Australian Government @NSWombo #howisthisdemocracy #coverupculture #SpeakUp

Official copy! My #PhD, as part of the #GigantoProject, on the cover 🦧Besides the bulk of my results the article also includes some of my art...though not as beautiful as the reconstruction by #GarciaPaleoart Thanks @nature Kira Westaway GARG Flinders Palaeontology Sunda & Sahul Micromorphology Research Group

This was fun 🦧💀🔬 Thank you for having me! Dziękuję! 🇵🇱🇪🇺 Institute of Evolutionary Biology UW Holly Ellen Anderson

🎥 Filming at #Naturalis for #documentary on the #Siwaliks, incl. segments on #Giganto/#Indopithecus🦧Led by geologist, filmmaker and former study mate Mahid Ahmed. First visit of the new museum since I left, 8 years ago😱 Amazing upgrade. Thanks Bart Braun #palaeontology

Fun article on the connection #paleontology-#cryptozoology, incl. honorable ref 😇 to #Gigantopithecus as inspiration for #Yeti and #Bigfoot 🦧🦍💀🦴 By former mentor and Godfather of many Dutch paleontologists, Dr. John de Vos. In: #Cranium 🇳🇱🦣WPZ #naturalis #megafauna

Left the UK, not because I wanted to, but because I had to...to avoid "deportation" and being "blacklisted". Why is pursuing a career –while boosting the economy and positively contributing to British society– considered a “crime”? Cambridge University Government Communication Service #brexit #uk #unfair

Cold, empty and left out. The #unlawfulpractice witnessed Cambridge University #Archaeology is surreal. Exploitation is "fine", flagging it a "crime". Eventually won this case, but I don't –and never will– agree with #misconduct and #mistreatment of #immigrant #ECRs Cambridge Uni Biological Anthropology Society

Great mini #documentary on #fossils from the #Siwaliks in #Pakistan🦴🇵🇰 Happy to have played a supporting role in it. Produced, directed, filmed and edited by former study mate, geologist and talented filmmaker Mahid Ahmed: youtube.com/watch?v=kPklOP…
