No idea what #UTAS are doing with their 26m antenna tonight, but it's doing a lot of slewing (state line purple) and tracking (orange). Also looks like the first time they've swapped the receiver over for some time.

Surprising no-one, paying academics less for more insecure jobs teaching dumber material to increasingly checked-out students makes them no longer able or willing to properly quality control their output.

Important reading by Nathan Bindoff, Australian #Antarctic Partnership Program, #UTAS

“It looks as though the Southern #Ocean is shifting gear but we don’t yet know where it’s heading and what that means for us. That’s where our research comes in.”

The month of #ScienceWeek begins! I've got an action-packed ~5 weeks coming up, full of #SciComm and #Space content all around lutruwita / #Tasmania! If you're keen to hang out, or see some great local #science content, check out some of the events below 👇

🌘 Aug 4 - presenting at Beaker Streets "Young Tassie Scientists After Hours: Science for Kids (for Adults)" at #TMAG
🤖 Aug 5 - watching @parisba argue that #AI is anything but #creative in "The Great Debate" at The Theatre Royal
🍎 Aug 6 - speaking at the ABC Ockham's Razor event, LIVE at Willie Smith's Apple Shed down #Huonville
🛰️ Aug 12 - speaking at TastroFest up in #Devonport, as part of a series of presentations running all next week with the support of Libraries Tasmania
🏰 Aug 14 - mingling at the Government House launch of #ScienceWeek 2023, likely whispering in people's ears about my plans for a science centre out west...
🚗 Aug 15-18 - travelling around Tas on the #YoungTassieScientists Southern road trip! This includes about a dozen schools plus at least one event with Children's University!
🎙️ Aug 16 - giving the ECR address at Hobart's #ScienceMeetsParliament dinner, hosted by Minister for Science and Technology, Hon Madeleine Ogilvie MP
🎪 Aug 19 - staffing a booth at Inspiring Tasmania's #FestivalOfBrightIdeas / #FoBI down at Salamanca
🎓 Aug 22 - talking futures and opportunities as the occasional address at the afternoon session of Winter Graduations for #UTAS's College of Sciences and Engineering

(Then I take a week off to catch up on normal work + sleep, and do 2 days of #SciComm training with #SuperstarsOfSTEM)

🏫 Sep 1 - back at it, as a keynote for the 'It Takes a Spark!' #STEM #Education conference, alongside the fantastic Dr Lila Landowski!

(Then maybe I get a break from speaking for a bit, at least until the Australian Space Research Conference comes to town a few weeks later 😬)

whoever actually thinks that moving #utas into the city is a better option is either a restaurant owner or just deluded

New office on the right. Old office on the left. I move in on Monday ☺️ #Utas #Launceston #Inveresk

A laneway runs between two buildings. The one on the left is an old rolling stock workshop. Its basically a rectangular shed. The one on the right is brand new and architecturally designed energy efficient building with all sorts of angles and peaks. Lots of big windows and shades.

A view out a window. Cyclone fencing in foreground and workers running for cover behind it.  It’s raining hard and it’s grey.
