I worry about this too.. lots of amazing young scientists cannot get jobs already. πŸ™

When I first saw this piece it I didn't understand 'why physics'. Now I do. Aside from the workshop/maker link, as an experimental physicist who places materials under compression to explore what happens, I actually feel quite connected to this complex orange 'rectangle'. 🧡 6/6

To quote Yuri from ArtMove, "He's an artist, yeah, but really, he's a frustrated tool maker. If I ever have a mechanical engineering problem, I go to see Paul, and he will come up with something left of field that is genuinely an elegant mechanical solution. He's just, he really is a genius." 🧡4/6

Levy is inspired by a vice - a common tool workshops. The work exhibits the forces of compression on the bent planes and reflects Hopmeier’s interest in machines and tools. Given physics ANU houses a strong workshop team of creative makers, I am glad the sculpture is with us now. 🧡3/6

Levy has deep roots at ANU. For 32 years, from 1982 to 2014, Levy stood outside Chifley Library. Then, after a brief stay in the CBE building it moved in 2017 to the Drill Hall Gallery where was on permanent display. 🧡 2/6

Let me share how my Friday was made brighter by the arrival of Paul Hopmeier's striking orange steel sculpture 'Levy' in the new Physics' building's main foyer. 🧡 1/6

The unmistakable 'creaky door' call made me look from my desk - and here is the culprit! Gang-gangs have such a distinctive sound, like an old door hinge that needs oiling. Love spotting these beautiful little grey cockatoos with their punk rock crests. So Canberra. Made my morning. #birdnerd

Lemon Delicious Pudding Our easy lemon delicious pudding is such a classic favourite... a delicately light fluffy lemon sponge layer over a fresh and creamy lemon sauce ...... the perfect winter dessert!

Can recommend - a great use of Canberra winter lemons. bakeplaysmile.com/easy-lemon-d...
