This paper is not only collaborative internationally, between UNSW, VU and KIT, but also across Australia, including @pukalalab.bsky.social in Adelaide and @msidownunder.bsky.social at UoW Wollongong. Olivia @olivrusli.bsky.social really made the most of Aussie borders reopening to get her data!!!

Anouk and I first met at the IMSC meeting in Bremen in 2009-little did I know back then that some time later after a very successful @anzsms.bsky.social meeting in Wollongong we'd be collaborating โค๏ธ
...but I must admit it had crossed my mind in between those meetings!

Ah yes, all those 24 year old "Millennials" are for some reason not thinking about retiring just yet.

Love this article. Dissing both gens in one fell swoop.

Why Skype is being shut down and what it means for you The two-decade-old internet calling service disrupted the landline industry and changed global communication, but in May it will go offline for good.

I guess there is an infinitely small chance the actual paper is a paper despite the abstract reading so... But yes.

POV: Some journals need a peer review option with a button: "I am declining to review this article because it is out of my area of expertise. But also, the title and abstract are AI generated word salad." ๐Ÿงช

My thoughts with all facing the CA wildfires.

As an Australian, it is not lost on me that warnings about climate change included overlapping fire seasons, and now it appears we are seeing exactly that.

Grampians fire being contained as the Cali and one started is surreal (& dystopian).

Horror show. More than ever, need the space in grants and applications to discuss *why* a paper is important, rather than judging purely on *where* it's published. Also we all should still cite papers from those two journals based on quality of work. It'd be๐Ÿ‘Ž to see it ignored based on bad actors!
