Ah, ok, Barnaby would be close too, I’d imagine?

Friends, can I ask a favour.

Our latest Honest Government out is a serious warning to Canada from Australia, which acts as a cautionary tail about the harms of the gas (LNG) export industry... Hence the cameo (spoiler alert) from our own aussie climate criminals, Woodside Energy

South Asia’s water wars Climate change and rising energy demand could worsen conflict over rivers

Water management in South Asia is a messy patchwork of agreements. Closer co-operation would keep rivers flowing, while keeping the peace

'Rotten' Australian university culture lashed in long-running senate inquiry Australia's universities are blighted by a "culture of consequence-free, rotten failure", a senate inquiry has found.

There is still much to be done to fix university governance but nonetheless a huge win for the thousands of NTEU members who have campaigned tirelessly to build better unis.

Nice explanation, @dremmabeckett.bsky.social !

Melkam Addis Amet to my friends and colleagues from #Ethiopia! I hope 2017 is a good one for us all, filled with plenty of coffee and pastries!

No problems!

This #ThreatenedSpeciesDay, I’m taking a different approach (and it’s not Australia, sorry!). #Botswana is not quite 1/3 of NSW in area, but has over 130k elephants to manage. These megafauna impact a lot of plant biodiversity, and village agriculture. A major challenge for people and ecosystems.

Otoliths sit in pairs in a fish’s skull and give it a sense of balance in the water column. But some species like the European sand goby can have widely different otolith size and shape between their left and right sides as larvae/early juveniles! You never see them swimming in circles though!

Like them or not, structures like this aren’t going anywhere. But we need to do much better with understanding and funding ways to support aquatic biota, especially downstream. Effects of human health like malaria transmission from mosquitoes are equally rarely thought of.

Killings on Kenya’s Lake Naivasha raise questions over coast guard role NAIVASHA, Kenya — It was still dark when the call came. Grace Nyambura, known to her neighbors in Karagita as Mama Chuma, was asleep when she got a call from her daughter. It was around 5 a.m. She…

The deaths of two unlicensed fishers in Kenya’s Lake Navaisha region, allegedly at the hands of the Kenya Coast Guard Service, raise questions about tactics used to police illegal fishing.

The brain’s map of the body is surprisingly stable — even after a limb is lost Study challenges the textbook idea that the brain region that processes body sensations reorganizes itself after limb amputation.

Australian central bank: AUD $50bn net gain from students with minimal rent price impact International students play a "significant role" in Australia's economy and are an important source of labour for some Australian businesses, said Reserve Bank of Australia.

It is way time the @albomp.bsky.social government acknowledged this in its support of the Australian university sector. What's good for unis is good for the national accounts.

I may have been a bit slow to this party, but the imagery at www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/fishatlas/co... looks to have lots of potential - especially if larger images and other metadata such as actual measurements were also available. If you are into fish morphology, check it out!

Mmmm, remember Danakil #Ethiopia??
