Sri Lanka is my original home, and it is so beautiful. We were just there a few months ago. If you have any spare dollars, consider donating to the cyclone response!. It has been devastating for a country already in a huge cost of living crisis: 1.6 million people displaced, 356 still missing.

It has been an honour to partner with @rorinstitute.bsky.social in our mission to make peer review and curation of metascience more robust, transparent, and equitable.
🎈 Time flies! Exactly one year ago today @rorinstitute.bsky.social and @aimosinc.bsky.social launched MetaROR, a platform to publish metaresearch through the publish-review-curate approach.
Over the course of the year, we published 28 articles reviewed by 59 different reviewers.

ARC says they’ll announce DECRA and LIEF outcomes tomorrow (Tuesday 25th Nov).
In recent times these announcements have been around 11am Canberra time. With 2 schemes on the same day, I assume they’ll announce one of them later in the day (probably DECRA first).
