Australia are you listening?

A view down a hill with a walking path to the left and impossibly green fields at the back illuminated by a weak wintery sun

Typically English scenery of rolling green hills, clouds overhead and sun peeking through

Walked a little of the Cotswold way near Stroud yesterday on a glorious (almost) winter’s day

So much opportunity for Australia to lead, and so much apathy by decision makers

CSIRO to cut up to 350 research jobs in major overhaul After 440 positions were slashed last year, the CSIRO has announced more staff cuts across the country in a bid to remain financially viable.

Smart countries don’t cut funding to their world-leading science and technology research organisations.

The Albanese government has to step up and provide adequate support for research and development in Australia - it has to invest in our future.

Awesome news!!! Congratulations and richly deserved @monsoon0.bsky.social

Obviously we did because we didn’t say yes

It’s called deflection

Maybe lost some brownie points for that underarm order

Shady spreading Poinciana tree in glorious hues of scarlet and green leaning across a suburban street

Multicoloured frangipani blooms peeking out through long green leaves and thin grey branches

Pinky purple crêpe myrtle bush and petal-drop splatters on grass

Perfect Jasmine flowers nestled amongst shiny green leaves. I wish you could smell the perfume. It is the most wonderful aroma.

Spring into Brisbane. Lovely time of year to wander through the streets of Brissie. #BrisbaneWalks #Brisbane #Foliage

Well this is something I am definitely on board with. Scientific publishing should not be - should never have been - a commercial enterprise

What Rosalind Franklin truly contributed to the discovery of DNA’s structure Franklin was no victim in how the DNA double helix was solved. An overlooked letter and an unpublished news article, both written in 1953, reveal that she was an equal player.

Well reasoned and new information - “Rosalind Franklin has been reduced to the “wronged heroine” of the double helix. She deserves to be remembered not as the victim of the double helix, but as an equal contributor to the solution of the structure.” www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Scientific breakthroughs are rarely unique; someone else would’ve made them soon enough. But when prominent scientists cause harm, that harm isn’t inevitable; the world might simply have been better had the harm not been inflicted.

Definitely not a fan

James Watson, dead at 97, was a scientific legend and a pariah among his peers James Watson, the co-discoverer of the structure of DNA who died Thursday at 97, was a scientific legend and a pariah among his peers.

James Watson was not just a scientist who was a racist. He was worse - a scientist who offered other racists the comfort of scientific authority.
