Jup, auch betroffen in Australien, Wahlunterlagen sind angefordert aber manchmal braucht ein Brief sogar über einen Monat. Extrem frustrierend bei dieser Wahl höchstwahrscheinlich ausgeschlossen zu sein.

OK, here’s a doozy🤯

What if I told you that, until very recently, some researchers could infer their grant outcome in ARC’s Research Management System (RMS) at least a month before official release?

Unbelievable, right?
(OK, this is the ARC, so not unbelievable😑)

Explore our latest experiments on nitrogen recycling in subduction zones. Our findings reveal that cold subduction zones struggle to effectively recycle nitrogen, resulting in its loss to the surface in a fluid phase.
