39 people, one quarter of the CAVEPS delegates, attended our best practice workshop for collaborating with Indigenous communities. The yarning circle couldn't get any bigger. This gives me hope that the future is looking bright for decolonising vertebrate palaeontology in Australasia.
It’s the first day of the CAVEPS Conference of Australasian Vertebrate Evolution, Palaeontology and Systematics, hosted by Flinders Uni on Kaurna Yerta 🎉

Investment in R&D in Australia is at a historic low. If this recent / current trend continues, within five years Australia will be among the lowest of OECD countries....

ANSTO’s neutron and synchrotron facilities are among the best-run and most productive parts of Australia’s research system... It would be a grave mistake to allow short-term accounting to jeopardise long-term national capability.

Cuts to key research facilities threaten Australia’s ability to be a global scientific leader
At the same time Australia has inked a deal with the US on critical minerals, it’s proposing cuts to facilities that underpin its clean energy ambitions.
