When you hear Dutton calling for an audit of Government spending on Indigenous communities he’s counting on two things:
That you don’t know that police & prisons is counted in that spending & Indigenous communities rarely have control over funding they get & how it can be spent.

A reminder that Elsevier made $10.5 BILLION in 2022 from selling your academic journals and articles behind paywalls, and make more profit than Amazon, Google, and Apple every year…
And paid the academics who wrote the articles $0
And paid the reviewers of the articles $0

Why do so many people continue to choose MM as a hill to die on? He was a bad dude who did bad things to First Nations people. He doesn’t deserve to have anything named after him, let alone such a magnificent critter as the Pink Cockatoo. More below👇

ALT Photo of a large cockatoo with a pink head and white body. It has a crest with red and yellow stripes on it.
It would be wonderful if 2021 is the year @BirdlifeOz takes a stand and starts using only the name Pink Cockatoo for this beautiful bird... as we do. Removing Major Thomas Mitchell's name and its dark colonial associations from this iconic species is long overdue (Thread)

I wonder what else we could potentially spend $368 billion on than eight submarines? I just don't get #AUKUS

Not to brag, but I've spelt "Lerista punctatovittata" three times today from memory. Nailed it.
If you don't know what this is, please see below picture of a skink with absurd vestigial legs. Photo credit Alexandre Roux via ALA

Does anyone else have to frantically check they didn't press SOS when you're carrying an EPIRB in a remote area and you hear a helicopter? It's not even on...

Back out in the field after a six week forced absence due to catching Covid (do not recommend in the middle of your field season). Taking it easier than usual but enjoying being back out in this stunning wildflower season

Can @UniMelb do better? Be the top of the Go8? ...37,000 from Feb 2023 perhaps? Which would still be a modest $711 a week for full time research workers who's rent/mortgage/cost of living has gone up enormously in the last year !
📣 UNSW #PhD / HDR candidates, we've heard you...
To help ease cost-of-living pressures, we'll be increasing stipends for HDR scholarships to $35,000 in 2023 and $37,684 in 2024.
The increase will apply to all new and current scholarship holders with scholarships under $35k. 👇
