@TEU_THW_VUW Yeah, nah @jantinetti - you can say tertiary education needs to adapt but the problem is the cuts fall according to bums on seats, and bums on seats are not a good predictor of societal needs. It's the funding mechanism that's stuffed, not the universities.

Our research centre's name means "Star Paths". One of Matariki's nine stars is of particular relevance to us: Hiwa-i-te-rangi: A Star of Hope and Aspirations ngaarawhetu.org/manawatia-a-ma…

@AKL_Airport And for completeness, the taxi driver said some of the oldies are really struggling to get there; one fainted en route. So, maybe it's not working.

@AKL_Airport And, you do know that a rule change means that once you reach the taxis you have to walk another kazillion meters to get to the front of the queue because a rule change means you can't take the one closest to you. Seems fair, right, but not to the person walking.

Caught a taxi from international the other day...OMG, if you were old or infirm you would expire before reaching the pick up point. Might be okay if family are picking you up, but as for taxis... Watch: A first look at Auckland Airport's new drop-off area rnz.co.nz/news/national/…

The action at COP 28 offers the new government a chance to prove to its detractors that it’s not such a “fossil” after all. #Cop28Dubai #climatechange ngaarawhetu.org/how-will-nz-ke…

This is the whole problem stripped down to its essence. Thank you @GeorgeMonbiot

@REasther A bit like zits on a teenager

I hate to be boring but if anyone says that there is a lot of volcanoes popping off right now it is actually business as usual in volcano land -- at any given time about 50 of them are typically popping off... vaisala.com/en/blog/2022-0…

For as long as I live I will never forget that we have created a world where children have to hold a press conference saying they want to live.

@DrEmmaLJohnston @timeshighered @Sydney_Uni Love to read your piece, shame it's behind the paywall.

You can’t put a number on it! The @timeshighered rankings came out this week and while @Sydney_Uni is now 1st in NSW, 3rd in Australia, it’s clear there has been an overall decline across the sector. I explore why in this piece. #HigherEducation #research theaustralian.com.au/higher-educati…
