ANU ducklings in a rainy day last week. They all ran towards the camera - honestly kind of terrifying! Look at those faces - they mean business. 👀

Big week in Matsuyama 🇯🇵 for AIRAPT-29! Honoured to be elected to the AIRAPT Exec Comm & to represent 🇦🇺 at the ACHPR meeting. Pic from the conference dinner!
Also excited our new paper is out in APL-shear lowers Ge phase transformation thresholds with a reversible path!

Very much enjoying being at a high pressure conference in beautiful Matsuyama, Japan this week. The region is known for its oranges- hence the logo of the meeting which is an orange / high pressure cell. 10/10 🍊

My kaffir lime tree produced a normal-sized lime! I guess given the name I shouldn't have been surprised but I didn't know that was a thing it could do!

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
