3/4 "I learnt that the academic publication processes is not straight-forward; it takes time to progress through multiple checks and balances," said Lilla. "We applied to at least six different journals until eventually our paper was accepted. It was worth the wait though!"

1/4 Through the Work Integrated Learning (WIL) program, UNSW Science undergrads are already making their mark in research, including contributing to published papers. Read more about the recent work of students Noam Taylor and Lilla Irwin, here: unsw.edu.au/news/2025/02/w…

Six new Diamond DA40 XLT aeroplanes have landed in the UNSW School of Aviation at Bankstown Airport, and with their state-of-the-art technology, these aircrafts will take students' training experience to new heights. Read more about the new fleet: unsw.edu.au/newsroom/news/…

It's the 10th International Day of Women and Girls in Science and we're keen to celebrate. ACER's Dr Kristy Osborne looks at Australia's high achievers and how we can build momentum for more. brnw.ch/21wQBAS #WomeninScience #GirlsinSTEM @ASTA_online @UNSWScience

Delighted to today be actively supporting International Day of Women and Girls in Science, STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) and @UNSW's efforts to recognise the day. My comments and about UNSW SMaRT Centre's role smart.unsw.edu.au/news-events/ne… @UNSWScience

2/2 “Membership fees of professional academic societies are generally not equitable and need to be carefully reconsidered in order to support the individuals from historically marginalised and underrepresented groups in science,” says Dr Lagisz.

1/2 Research, led by @unswbees Dr Malgorzata Lagisz, has found that among 182 international societies for ecology and evolution researchers only 26% offered fee concessions for postdoctoral researchers. Read the full story, here: unsw.edu.au/news/2025/02/t…
