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.

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

It's a wrap on the #AnnualWorkshop2023.
Thank you to everyone who came together to share ideas, celebrate our achievements and plan ahead for an exciting future.
We will continue to collaboratively strive for success in our work to understand #darkmatter.

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

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.

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

To celebrate @WomenScienceDay on Saturday, 11 February, Catriona Thomson explains why she loves working in #science.
Catriona's work @uwanews involves helping to solve one of the great mysteries of the universe - the nature of #darkmatter.

Let me clear this up:
1. Climate change is real.
2. It's bad.
3. It's changed before, but this is too fast.
4. It's our fault.
5. We should do something.
6. It's not inevitable.
7. Individual action isn't enough.
8. Systematic action isn't enough.
9. We need both. Together.

Where is climate headed? We’re already at doubled CO2 greenhouse gas climate forcing. The first Faustian aerosol payment is coming due. Humanity needs to reverse course. Scientific discourse welcome at this point. Global Warming in the Pipeline: mailchi.mp/caa/global-warmin…

A 32 year old climate activist is about to be imprisoned for 456 days for stopping traffic for 25 minutes.
In that 25 minutes the Govt handed $553 475 to fossil fuel corporations.

It's a wrap on the Annual Workshop! Thank you to everyone who joined us and shared their research.
You inspired and energised us to continue our #darkmatter search at universities across Australia.

Things Brits will say sorry for:
Being hit with a shopping trolley
Bumping into a cupboard
The mess in a clean house
Needing an ambulance
Someone being in their reserved seat
Having to squeeze by
Asking for the bill
Being short changed
Having a door held for them
Nothing at all
