The media keeps pushing the lie that fossil fuels are cheaper than renewables. They’re not. CSIRO and AEMO show solar and wind are far cheaper. The fossil fuel lobby funds the lie, and half our grid’s already renewable. The transition’s happening, like it or not.

Why do eagle and manta rays have long, whip-like tails? 🦈 Our study shows that they act like kite tails, adding drag to keep rays stable as they glide!

New CSIRO survey of 900 Tasmanians shows strong love for the coast, but almost 70 percent worry about rapid change. Ocean warming, plastic waste, and biosecurity top the list. Scientists are the most trusted voices, with strong support for restoration work.

Poor governance, poor policy and decades of neoliberalism have broken Australia’s university sector, with devastating consequences for students and the country.

Or Uggs. CSIRO did some interesting work on heat pumps. As they are high they don’t automatically heat the feet as well as some other units & can suck cold air into a room. Real solution, aim them down, a fan, insulation, seal gaps (door snake) double glazing. I am half way to these no loss measures

You can see The Dish in the centre and the pulses on the left hand side of the note.

And I'm lucky that CSIRO is very encouraging of that - I got to be interviewed on live tv during Mardi Gras about my journey, explicitly supported by my job for that. But I wouldn't've had the guts had I not had others blazing the way before me.

Having been involved on the recruitment side I would add there’s also a flight on out of academia into gov. Possibly due to a whole bunch of contracts not being renewed like what’s being reported at CSIRO. Lot of PHDs vying for roles even at A05/6 level.
