I've been a bit (ie. very) absent from the Twitterverse, but this was lovely to come back to 😍🤩👩🏻🔬
Happy #AdaLovelace day! Shout out to all of the amazing women in #STEM and our group! #genderparity @SabvanWool @tigerinstemm @queenofquanta @DrEOChapman @1752Group @OptoLia @jesswade @sqvarfort @crazy4pi314 @cgranade @LeonieMueck @aemylt @sciencefreak_ @LaRah412 @_PatriciaCT
Excited for this full house event tonight, although you can still join us online!

As a part of #LightDay2021 we encourage everyone to sign the pledge at trust-science.org. The past year has taught us we need confidence in the scientific process & evidence-based decisions.
Join me in saying #TrustScience & its place in improving quality of life for all.
I successfully found my bus at central station in Sydney this morning without once having to double back/get lost! #proud #newjob #whatishappening
Super interesting, with many stories in the replies. Another reminder (maybe more to myself) that comparing yourself to those around you doesn’t always give the full picture, and that it’s ok to go at your own pace 👊🏼

Self care is hard. I had an incredible weekend spotting platypus and enjoying the outdoors, and Sunday blues still hit like a boulder in my stomach. I’m so overwhelmed with work. Is it just me? What do you do? #phdchat

I do not understand why some people chose competition over collaboration.
#Science is cooperation, and if we pursue the same dream, why compete instead of collaborate for the win?
#StrongerTogether

Exciting and relevant research going on in Chem Ed at Sydney!! If you're a high school science teacher, fill in the survey. If you're not, check out the work Alice and co are doing---it's worth a read for everyone, especially tertiary educators!

This is incredibly dangerous. We need to wake up and move as fast as possible. Let’s use the Coronavirus economic recovery as a Keynesian opportunity to get clean energy generation and storage at the global scale necessary to avoid the disasters that will come otherwise.
2020 is predicted to be the hottest year on record, according to NASA bit.ly/3inLSOm #ClimateChange #NASA
Telling scientific facts, unfortunately, rarely convinces or ‘converts’ people - stories and experiences do. #ClimateChange #ClimateEmergency
Discussing the politics of climate change with Steven Chu and Brian Schmidt. Interesting to hear their thoughts on the use of storytelling to get the climate message across.

“Never has science said ‘what we do now will directly influence people 1000 years from now’. It’s new and emotional territory, but we need to do better” - a call for strong leadership now, for the future #ClimateCrisis Loving #LINOSD with the other #LindauAussies
Up next during our Online Science Days #LINOSD: Nobel Laureates Steven Chu (@Stanford) and Brian Schmidt (@ourANU) discuss the politics of #climatechange science-days.org/programme/
I swear time goes faster when you’re trying to write up (but the writing speed doesn’t!) 🤔😢 #phdchat
I was so sad to hear the news of @jpdowling passing - working with him at the GJM Conference was my first unexpected collaborative experience, and he showed me nothing but respect & encouragement. I felt like I belonged. I’ll miss his otherwise loud & playful nature. Vale Jon.
If you’re in the UK, I strongly recommend this!!

So excited for my friend! MVB the MVP (with an exceptional team, of course) 😂👏🏼
Huge congratulations to our very own Matt van Breugel for receiving one of 2 @Stanford Australia Foundation @CSIRO Scholarship! #winning #ONDemoNight @MQPhysAstro @ARC_EQUS @ONaccelerator
How awesome was it to see the huge range of #tech #startups coming out of #Australia at the #ONDemoNight, and the potential they have to address so many of the problems today! Yay for science in action, and for @CSIRO for empowering such ventures 🇦🇺👩🏻🔬👏🏼 #entrepreneurship
