You'll never hear a better explanation of #darkmatter than this one.
Listen to @drbtmcallister and @abcmelbourne's @dontattempt discuss all things dark matter ... and the best student question of the @qdmroadtrip.

Dervla McTiernan spoke about all the good things tonight: attic writing rooms, crime fiction and @StephenKing.
Thanks for visiting us in Ballarat, @DervlaMcTiernan!
Move over Taylor Swift, this weekend I’m going to be fangirling over Sofie Laguna and Helen Garner

Of the more than 150 episodes of Grand Designs, these five are our favourites, for their unmatched levels of unhingedness. ab.co/41LYsxX

If Monday was a feeling, it would be:
1. Catching a sleeve/pocket on door handle
2. When your sock comes off a bit in your shoe
3. Watching someone sniff a bottle of milk and seeing their nose touch the rim
4. Finding a wet spoon has been in the sugar
5. Someone looking at the back of your trousers and saying “ooh, I think you might have sat in something”

Ways to say “I have no idea what you just said”
I see
Leave it with me
Haha, yes
Okay great
Interesting
Right...
Certainly
Say that again
Is that so?
Blimey
So funny!
Absolutely
Can you put it in an email?
Yeah?
Definitely something to think about
We'll see
*Just smile and nod*
I’m excited to be @MelbWritersFest to hear Pip Williams talk. I loved The Dictionary of Lost Words!

Don't forget to tune in to #ABCCatalyst at 9pm tonight to hear about the fascinating search for #darkmatter in The Dark Side of the Universe.
Lots of people have been talking about how the internet is shrinking our attention spans.
I decided to lean into the boredom - and occasional bliss - of a long read.

For @esquire, I went searching for the secret machine behind @BarackObama's annual lists of book recommendations. As someone who worked in the publishing industry for a decade, what I "uncovered" shocked me.

"My country only emits 1% of global emissions. What it does makes no difference".
It's a common claim.
But add up the emissions of countries that emit less than 2% each (a 'negligible amount') – they emit more than China.
Imagine if they all decided to do nothing.

🤔What is #darkmatter?
🤔 What is the point of fundamental science?
🤔 Why is it so hard to attract girls into STEM careers?
@ProfNicoleBell of @SciMelb discusses the big questions of #physics in Australia with @dontattempt (from 2.07).

The new president of the Australian Institute of Physics, Nicole Bell, says a whole-of-society effort is needed to see more women in science, including in the field of physics - and the efforts need to be directed at young girls. trib.al/kwr9XLJ
