My big week just got even bigger! This time, I had my #tv debut with @SciNate on @abcnews! What better way to start your day than with some cool animal #science stories!? Rhino IVF 🦏 Gorilla cardiac health 🦍 New frog breeding facilities 🐸 #scicomm #Television

@SaraWebbScience Interesting how he said National data are hard to find. Maybe we should send him the 22-23 STEM equity report for scale… 8% of women CEOs and (I think) 24% in leadership positions in STEM organisations. Similar data aren’t hard to find if you look for it! @WomenInSTEMAu

I rarely share opinion, but holy hell Lawrence Krauss shouldn’t have a platform anymore. Misogyny ✅ Sexual Harassment ✅ Bad and boring takes on the world ✅ So disappointing that the most praised science communicators end up being the biggest problems in science.

After the hottest days & month on record, how does the @AlboMP Government justify continuing to expand the fossil fuel industry? Approving the Gregory Crinum coal mine expansion in the Bowen Basin until 2073 🤯 canberratimes.com.au/story/8331472/…

The world need geoscientists more, now than ever, yet universities across Aotearoa and in Australia, wield the axe 🪓 We (geoscientists) need to get the message out to community and schools regarding the value of geoscience degrees (and the value of geoscience to our future) 🌏
The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand@ConversationEDU

Some New Zealand universities have proposed staff and course cuts in earth sciences. This could leave the country ill prepared to deal with natural hazards and extreme weather, according to @MartinBrook17 (@AucklandUni). #Echobox=1693275509-1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">theconversation.com/natural-hazard…

Dynamic, conceptual thinking, or understanding WHY we solve problems one way vs another is often missing in #maths teaching - at least it was for me🤦‍♂️ Encouraging deeper understandings, open-mindedness, and creativity in problem solving can only be beneficial!
The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand@ConversationEDU

In the past, maths teaching has focussed on procedures and right answer, such as times tables and equations. Today, teachers want students to form connections between concepts and solve problems, write @b_zunica, @DrBronwynRO + Eddie Woo (@Sydney_Uni). #Echobox=1691445976-1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">theconversation.com/why-would-they…

The Australien Government has made an ad about its bid to the host COP31, the 2026 UNFCCC Climate Summit, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative! youtube.com/watch?v=YBjyxA…

What an absolute joke... >90% of the reefs surveyed by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority in 2022 showed evidence of coral bleaching and heat stress. But, nah, she'll be right. 🤦
