My 8 year old just referred to a jetski as a "boatercycle"

@drkellyallen As an academic whose husband installs swimming pools, I find these comments highly relatable 😆

Things you can say during peer-review and also in a swimming pool.

Thrilled to receive a Faculty Research Award today, and super proud of my colleagues who have also been recognised 👏👏👏

#CharlesSturtUni will join @UNSW and @UniCanberra to form 'The Ambassador Schools Research Centre' to discover what comprises the best public schools in NSW. The program is the first of its kind in Australia 🤩 news.csu.edu.au/latest-news/pr…

Excited to be part of the leadership team of this initiative with Kim Beswick, @DrPhilRob @A_Mac_D_ @profholden & @DrKevinLowe and the broader team including the likes of @TracyDurksen @tloughland @LilaMularczyk among others smh.com.au/national/nsw/r… @GonskiInstitute @UNSWADA @UNSW

We are seeking primary teachers in NSW government schools to complete a 10-minute survey. All participants will go into a draw to win a $50 gift card and a $1000 science resource pack for their school. More details here: primaryscience.csu.domains

How many might there be?: Our study showing how prediction can be conceived of as a low-information estimate, and how opportunities to make predictions can improve the accuracy of subsequent estimates @A_Mac_D_ @tobyrusso @MonashEducation rdcu.be/cesgf
