If you’ve sent me a direct message I can’t see it, because Bluesky wants me to comply with Australian law and prove my age with a form of ID. Which I’m not going to do.

Under-funding science is just mental. As the country whose publicly-funded science made WIFI possible, you’d think we’d understand this and do better.

In the words of a world-renowned cardiologist, Australia’s young medical researchers are “left to flounder with total job insecurity and family pressures. It’s the best recipe we have for raiding our future, in terms of a medical research workforce and the benefits of medical research”

The head of the Heart Research Institute is telling young scientists medical research is a “terrible career path”. There’s a $5 billion answer in the government’s budget.

Took the kids to the EU Parliament in Brussels - the audio tour is top notch. It was wonderful to see how it all works, and the Irish accent was very cute on the audio track. (Yes, flew 1/2 way around the world to see it. Kids were excited to see where all the news video clips came from.)
