Saw these three fab new contemp dance pieces last night, as my friend Rachel Coulson was performing in two of them. Enjoyed seeing the new Union Theatre at Uni of Melbourne, and spotting the who's-who of contemporary dance. @unimelbsoc.bsky.social

It is heartening to read through the list of funded #ARC #DP2025 projects and see many familiar names, of academics I admire and know to be GOOD PEOPLE. A bummer for those who missed out, but reading the list of projects makes me feel excited to be in this industry.

This is a beautiful article about government education, written by the oncologist and columnist Ranjana Srivastava. She says that her polite, obedient and diligent Yr 12 son is the "product of three government schools" 😭 So moving.

“We have given 70-80 per cent of our streets to parking, road lanes and moving cars around and, any time there’s a little conflict with that, the trees tend to come out second.” www.theage.com.au/environment/...
The maps that show the tree-free heat islands in your city
Australia’s two largest capital cities have far too little tree canopy, which leads to increased rates of obesity, depression, anxiety and heatstroke.
