I'm at an international law conference in Canberra at the moment and during one of the sessions I was sitting behind someone who spent most of the time putting names of presenters into an 'Anti-Israel Academics' folder (?) on ChatGPT. 1/7

A great example of just how bad university managers are. As the article explains Amelia Dale is an early career researcher, her track record is amazing, she’s a future rock star professor. Why would you let talent like this go? ANU isn’t even in money trouble, it’s all funny numbers

Lord knows I’m not a constitutional scholar not even a lawyer (and I’ve yet to check in with @kateshaw.bsky.social) but a legal regime in which “you can do crimes if you’re buddies with the president or praise him publicly” is *on its face* a violation the equal protection of the laws.

More sportsfields at school = less trees. Make our urban spaces multifunctional - we can have trees around the edge of sportsfields for shade & biodiversity without compromising play. More in our paper on vegetation on school grounds @aucklanduni.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... 🧪🌏

Recently I provided detailed insights, resources, and context for a Nature News article (www.nature.com/articles/d41...). While the piece is thoughtful, my contributions weren’t acknowledged. It's a trivial annoyance, but one that I wanted to pin somewhere so here it is, your Wednesday (r)antmandan
Governments are banning kids from social media: will that protect them from harm?
Australia is the latest nation to introduce restrictions but evidence is limited about whether they will work.
