I enjoyed visiting Mt Stromlo today to give a colloquium at the ANU Research School of Astronomy & Astrophysics. And I came home with a bottle of @cosmicpinot.bsky.social wine!

📊 New AIP data shows undergraduate physics enrolments in Australia have remained stable, with ~14,000 students studying first-year physics each year. However, women continue to make up just 21–23% of physics majors. Read the report: aip.org.au/News/13648101

Enrolments in high school physics are across Australia are declining. And the gender balance is stubbornly unchanged. These trends broadly reflect patterns observed in advanced-level mathematics in Australian high schools.
