Hey ARC DPers with career interruptions- take a "print screen" of what you enter in your career interruptions boxes- seems like the ARC will never make this info roll over so do your future self a favour if it's a complicated set of dates 😭 (yes I have it saved elsewhere) @arc-tracker.bsky.social

Ah yes, all those 24 year old "Millennials" are for some reason not thinking about retiring just yet. Love this article. Dissing both gens in one fell swoop.

Clip of an online news article with a photo of a lady holding a take away coffee. Caption says she is 24 and "hasn't thought much about her superannuation as she feels it something that won't affect her for a long time" Title of news article "...Millennials [sic] are ignoring their superannuation" (24 is not a Millennial)

POV: Some journals need a peer review option with a button: "I am declining to review this article because it is out of my area of expertise. But also, the title and abstract are AI generated word salad." 🧪

My thoughts with all facing the CA wildfires. As an Australian, it is not lost on me that warnings about climate change included overlapping fire seasons, and now it appears we are seeing exactly that. Grampians fire being contained as the Cali and one started is surreal (& dystopian).

I'm also someone who advocated and to some extent continues to advocate for a data driven approach to EDI. However, I didn't originally set out to be an advocate for data. I started out asking a simple question that I hoped would prompt targeted intervention & which happened to need data to answer.

Black balls on Sydney beaches are likely ‘fatbergs’ showing traces of human faeces, methamphetamine and PFAS: new analysis

When lumps of black goop washed up Sydney’s beaches, an oil spill was the initial suspect – but a detailed chemical analysis points to sewage as the likely source.

Many quotable quotes, such as this one "...promotion must be balanced against retention; organizations that fail to support, mentor and retain women, simply replacing them with new hires when departure follows mistreatment or lack of support, must come under scrutiny."
