“CSIRO has announced it will slash up to 350 jobs as the national science agency grapples with long-term financial challenges … with current funding failing to keep pace with the rising costs of running a modern science agency.” Not “challenges”. They’re choices. 😡

Had to give an example of misinformation in class last night. Started with my favourite example of the weather forecast saying "rain" but then the actual weather has no rain. "Oh wait, pretend you're not in Sydney in 2025 and it actually might not rain..."
