Truly appreciate that there are still wonderful people in Australia willing to support scientific research, especially in this challenging climate. I hope to see more of this kind of support in the future!

Great to see initiatives championing diversity in engineering! The 2025 UNSW Women in Engineering Awards are a top example, celebrating vital contributions of women, non-binary & gender-diverse talent. Recognition is key to inspiring future STEM innovation.

What is it like for international students doing PhDs in Australia?
In this video I sat down with Ranni from Indonesia to hear her experience with her PhD in educational psychology at UNSW.

Historical holes: Beneath the surface, caves hold the key to Australia’s wildfire history
My colleague @michcampbell recently held a postdoctoral research grant from AINSE. They've just released this 2025 Research Spotlight for early career researcher awardees all about her fire research. I think this is nicely done. If you'd like to know how caves and cave stalagmites can be used to reconstruct records of past fires, here's the article

🚨 New preprint 🚨
Hydrology and cave (and cave hydrology!) enthusiasts may enjoy this preprint just posted today for community review in the #EGU journal #HESS. Led by former #UNSW student, Christina Song, with @Andbaker and myself, we looked at recharge thresholds (amount of precipitation needed for recharge to occur in a cave), and how they changed after a fire.
https://egusphere.copernicus.org/preprints/2025/egusphere-2025-84/
The preprint is open now for community discussion, and will be accepting comments until 23 April.
Postdoctoral position in climate science at UNSW Sydney
My colleague Andréa Taschetto and I are recruiting. Please share...
Are you familiar with climate model simulations? Are you interested in extreme rainfall events: those that generate groundwater recharge? Are you interested in ENSO?
We are investigating the links between climate drivers such as ENSO, high magnitude rainfall events and groundwater recharge, to help understand how climate drivers affect our groundwater resources.

Great #PostDoc opportunity at #UNSW - the successful applicant will use climate model simulations to investigate the climate processes that lead to relationships between climate state, rainfall intensity, and groundwater recharge.

Researchers at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia, have identified a new method that encodes quantum information onto an antimony atom which can help make errors in quantum systems less likely to occur, and, when they do, make them more easily detected and corrected!

The best thing about still being on #UNSW BEES email lists is getting to see the cute pet application notifications 😍
This 'How to spot a rip' exercise from Prof Rob Brander at #UNSW is excellent.
Anyone who spends time at the beach should be able to ID a rip and know what to do if you get caught in one! In the immportal words of Douglas Adams - DON'T PANIC.
Quietly proud that I spotted all the rips, but living my whole life up until now on the coast, it would have been slightly embarrassing not to have!
"UNSW Sydney has initiated a major collaboration with OpenAI, becoming the first university in the Asia-Pacific region to work with the US-based research organisation to deploy ChatGPT Edu."
I am beyond frustrated with the intrusion of LLMs into higher education and even more disappointed that #UNSW has decided to play ball with these companies.
OpenAI is one of the worst polluters of our information ecosystem. We should not be doing business with them.

Celebrating Australian Laureate Fellowship Recipients
Last week I had the honour of attending the ARC’s annual Laureate Pin Ceremony, celebrating Australian Laureate Fellowship recipients and Industry Laureate Fellowship recipients. It was wonderful to celebrate with family and meet old and new colleagues. I received my pin in Australia's Parliament House in Canberra from the Federal Member for Canberra, Ms Alicia Payne MP. Over the next five years, I will be building a network of collaborators and training early career researchers to tackle the question of groundwater recharge - that is, the replenishment of groundwater.

The Living Water exhibit at #UNSW closed today. There was just time to show our #groundwater recharge exhibit to my University of Birmingham exchange team. And download the drip logger that counted visitor numbers.
