Our national science agency is under attack with more than 800 research & science support roles already gone & more than 300 more jobs to be cut.

These cuts now surpass those delivered by the Abbott Government.

Can you join me and take action?

In my latest quantum column for New Scientist I was delighted to read and reflect on a book about women in the history of quantum physics who may not have been paradigm-shifting heroes but still an integral part of how the field became established and successful www.newscientist.com/article/2504...
The forgotten women of quantum physics
Physics has a reputation for being dominated by men, especially a century ago, as quantum physics was just being invented – but there have been so many women who helped shaped the field since its ince...

Do you know why girls used to get married at 15?

Because they were forced to

They were “property”

They had no rights

They couldn’t vote, own a home or have a credit card

Just because we used to do it that way doesn’t make it right.

They were kids then & they’re kids now

You won't have to look in the obituaries, it will just become suddenly very noisy outside, regardless of what time of day it is. People will be shooting off fireworks, and honking horns, and laughing and crying, and it's going to be like that for quite a while when it finally happens.

"..Has ALREADY KILLED Hundreds of Thousands..."
This is a documented case of public man-made death. Why? Because a government dismantled oversight, purged experts, and ruled by decree, all things our assessment highlights.

HOLY SHIT. They found the genes for fibromyalgia - and it's *not* autoimmune, it's the central nervous system. It's very cool to see some progress made on the thing that's ruined my life since late teenage years!
