For those in #SciComm who realise, as we do, that there’s very few awards in Australia to recognise great SciComm by SciComm pros - now’s your chance! Announced today: the @auscicomm SciComm Awards now have several categories to start to fill this gap. asc.asn.au/blog/2024/04/19/a… – at Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

James O'Hanlon’s new book 'Silk and Venom: The Incredible Lives of Spiders' is a call to celebrate spiders instead of focusing on the surprise and terror they can evoke. Read #UQ venom researcher @insect_venomics's book review in @ConversationEDU: brnw.ch/21wEOKl

Yikes! There's no mincing of words in this piece on how universities are managed, and the impact of administrative bloat on research and education. Headline and standfirst set the tone, so be warned if you are sensitive to critiques of bureaucracies. tabletmag.com/sections/arts-…

Over the years I have met, reported on and /or interviewed every Prime Minister, from Menzies to Turnbull. Some I knew well. Others barely at all. None was as shallow, as hollow, so utterly devoid of the qualities of leadership as #ScottyfromMarketing.

Do you know anybody who lives, works or plays in #WesternSydney with an idea worth sharing? @TEDxParramatta is seeking speaker nominations for this year's event. I'd love to see an educator on the stage in 2019! #AussieEd

Insect photographers! 📷💥 Has anyone taken high res photos of nymphal mantises that look like ants? If so, would it be possible to use said photo in a grant proposal (with credit) that I’m presently writing? Many thanks!! 🐜 – at Cleveland Heights, OH
