Devastating news that marine biologist, science communicator, and UniMelb VC Professor Emma Johnston has died after a short illness.
She really was an extraordinary and visionary leader, and I have no doubt she would have made a fine Chief Scientist one day.

Emma Johnston was a visionary scientist, environmentalist and leader, with an abiding hope for humanity
The University of Melbourne Vice-Chancellor, who has died aged 52, was driven by a deep love of science and a desire to safeguard the planet’s future.

Wonderful time in Australia! 🇦🇺
At #ASNAC2025 I presented my work on missing data in network autocorrelation models and had great exchanges with the ANSNA community. I visited UniMelb, Swinburne, and UNSW (Seed Fund UC–UNSW), and presented at the University of Sydney @chisocnet.bsky.social

It is open externally, i.e., is NOT restricted to just UniMelb people.

It closes on Dec 7 but only requires a resume and cover letter; it's not necessary to respond to the selection criteria.

I am keen to get someone great because I work closely with this person and it's a role that matters :)

just had a Zoom chat with a student based in China who has just completed the final subject in their Master's degree at Unimelb and have secured a job in their field at a big company in Beijing. Nice way to end the week.

When you think of particle accelerators, you probably think of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.

But did you know our School of Physics has had its fair share of particle accelerators over the years?

Dr Adam Steinberg shares some remarkable #UniMelb particle accelerators → unimelb.me/47s1psa

It's been over 20 years now, but I still cringe at the thought that a senior academic at (the now defunct) School of Botany at UniMelb thought it a good idea to have Ian Plimer give a guest seminar to the cohort of Honours students🤮

I'm sure @mkeyoung.bsky.social could offer deeper insights into his methodologies here, but I'm really curious to see how researchers will continue to engage with each other as the community grows.

P.S. At #UniMelb, we take any world ranking worth its weight and wear it like a badge of honour! 😄
