When @ouranu scientists observed snow gums dying in huge numbers, they immediately suspected a beetle might be the culprit 🪲
The next step seemed easy: catch some beetles.
But, when you're tackling an entirely new problem, nothing is easy.

The reaction to this story has floored me 😭

Received this most beautiful gift, which I have just read through, laughing, crying, and remembering the emotion poured into my own PhD acknowledgements. A marvellous reminder that science, at its most fundamental, is a deeply human endeavour. science.anu.edu.au/news-even…

Not many people will read your PhD thesis, but if you completed your doctoral research at the ANU College of Science, then Tabitha Carvan has probably read one small part of it – the acknowledgements.
What she found is a kind of poetry in the science.

I love this from @scienceANU SO MUCH. My home is infinitely more homey thanks to the mountain Brushtail , microbats and Antechinus in our roof, our spiders, the lizards in the garden, birds in the bird baths… science.anu.edu.au/news-even…

A few years ago, author and journalist Tabitha Carvan became obsessed with British actor Benedict Cumberbatch. It taught her the importance of female joy. ab.co/3ICDBog (via ABC Radio National)

I have, at times, felt a little weird about fan conventions. It’s strange being put on that pedestal and meeting strangers who feel like they know you. But this podcast (pushkin.fm/podcasts/the-happ… ) made me understand and appreciate fandom in a new light.
(BTW, The Happiness Lab is a brilliant podcast series from @lauriesantos at @Yale.)

When it comes to science stories, why is it so easy to listen to some people and so hard to hear others? science.anu.edu.au/news-even…

This is awful news. Will Steffen was unfailingly generous with his time and his great mind. The kindest and most thoughtful scientist I have had the honour of meeting. What a huge loss.
30 Jan 2023
I’m shocked and devastated to hear that the brilliant climate scientist Will Steffen has died. I am deeply grateful to him for so many things - so here is a thread of 5 thank yous (and please feel welcome to add more).

Don’t want to brag but Minister for Finance Senator the Hon Katy Gallagher said on RN today that she’s reading my book because Leigh Sales recommended it so I have no choice but to brag.

Wrote a gnarly reminiscence about California Games for this Sydney Morning Herald collection on pop culture summer vibes. Also features excellent takes on Leo DiCaprio at Coachella, Bernard's "summer girl" on Black Books, Balthazar from Buffy and more! smh.com.au/culture/comedy/so…
