ARC says Discovery Projects outcomes will be tomorrow (Tuesday). Linkage Projects (2025, round 1) on Wed. Over past ~year, it's often been at about 11am (Canberra).
My bot will pick up the change to RMS & post immediately.
ARC should email outcomes to lead CIs, but might take an 1hr or so for DPs

Once again, ARC hits the 🎯 with their comms strategy:
8pm on Sunday night. When the eyeballs of researchers are glued to … twitter?
They've not posted this anywhere else. I can't think of a better way to _not_ "engage stakeholders". Almost uncanny.

Pinker has been a loud-and-proud voice for anti-intellectualism and a promoter of chin-stroking race-science platforms such as Quillette for a decade.
This isn't lack of awareness. It's an attempt to protect his extremely lucrative brand from association with the causes that helped build it.

A rubbish election: voting in Australia produces mountains of waste - but there’s a better way
From corflutes and how-to-vote cards to 250,000 pencils, 240,000 volunteer vests, 80,000 ballot boxes, here’s what happens to election materials after polling day.

What we’ve launched today is the first step for how we’re going to evolve verification.
The initial set of trusted verifiers includes news orgs who’ve agreed to take on the task of verification for their journalists. In the future, this set will expand, as well as how apps can choose to use them.

While the gospels say that Judas led the Romans to Jesus, a new theory is gaining traction with some Biblical scholars. There is evidence, some say, that Judas merely shared Christ's location on an insecure group chat that accidentally included several Roman officials and journalists.
