After the hottest days & month on record, how does the @AlboMP Government justify continuing to expand the fossil fuel industry?
Approving the Gregory Crinum coal mine expansion in the Bowen Basin until 2073 🤯

The world need geoscientists more, now than ever, yet universities across Aotearoa and in Australia, wield the axe 🪓
We (geoscientists) need to get the message out to community and schools regarding the value of geoscience degrees (and the value of geoscience to our future) 🌏
Some New Zealand universities have proposed staff and course cuts in earth sciences.
This could leave the country ill prepared to deal with natural hazards and extreme weather, according to @MartinBrook17 (@AucklandUni). theconversation.com/natural-…

Unsurprisingly, a recent study highlights inequity in female representation in #science courses.
Of 145 unique #scientist references, only 1 was a female. A frightening statistic, and proof of how stone-age our education system is.

Dynamic, conceptual thinking, or understanding WHY we solve problems one way vs another is often missing in #maths teaching - at least it was for me🤦♂️
Encouraging deeper understandings, open-mindedness, and creativity in problem solving can only be beneficial!
In the past, maths teaching has focussed on procedures and right answer, such as times tables and equations.
Today, teachers want students to form connections between concepts and solve problems, write @b_zunica, @DrBronwynRO Eddie Woo (@Sydney_Uni). theconversation.com/why-woul…

The Australien Government has made an ad about its bid to the host COP31, the 2026 UNFCCC Climate Summit, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative! youtube.com/watch?v=YBjyxA-w…

What an absolute joke...
>90% of the reefs surveyed by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority in 2022 showed evidence of coral bleaching and heat stress.
But, nah, she'll be right. 🤦

What an honour to be on the @RadioNational Ockham’s Razor panel tonight where we heard about platypuses, the universe, glaucoma, and, of course, the spiny mouse 🐁 🩸
Thanks for having me, @teegstar, and looking forward to listening back to all these AMAZING talks

Who would have thought that the spiny mouse, from all the way in Egypt, would help us fight the patriarchy? @its_drmac tells @RadioNational @RoyalSocietyVic the story of this menstruating mouse, which can now be used as a model for women's reproductive health studies.
