Great introduction to regulatory science, particularly for agvet chemicals (#pesticides, #herbicides, animal medicines, etc.) @AnimalMedOz @CropLifeOZ

Congratulations to Donna Strickland - only the 3rd woman to ever receive the #NobelPrize in #Physics
“We need to celebrate women physicists because they’re out there… I’m honoured to be one of those women," says Donna Strickland. She becomes the third woman to receive the #NobelPrize in Physics, joining Maria Goeppert-Mayer (1963) and Marie Curie (1903). Congratulations!

Ever heard that there are less women than men in #STEM because "men are just better in those areas"? New study shows boys and girls have equal aptitude in STEM subjects - it's systematic biases and social stereotypes that drive #genderinequality in #science
For years the male dominance of STEM-related careers has been explained away as women having less aptitude for the relevant subjects. bit.ly/2NDgwYr
Fantastic to see more scholarships to support #rural and #regional students to study #STEM at University
Great to see applications open for this year’s round of scholarships to support regional & rural uni and VET students to study science, technology, engineering & maths @DanTehanWannon @SenatorCash

Many people probably don't realise the politics and arguments that go in behind the scenes in regards to the order of authors on journal articles. Gretchen Kiser argues for more team work and collaboration in #science nature.com/articles/d41586-0…
REMINDER: our #honours info session is on tomorrow. A chance to learn about what it takes to get that Honours degree, and to mingle with potential supervisors over lunch
We're holding an #Honours information session, September 26th. Come and learn about the program, available projects, meet some potential #academic supervisors, and enjoy a free pizza lunch 🍕

Brilliant seminar from @ADHagstrom today about #exercise and #weightloss. The take home messages: eat before or eat after, it doesn't really matter, try and include some resistance training and some cardio training, but any exercise is better than none for improving #health!
