Before universities get too excited about rankings, they should just check on how their staff and students are doing. Staff and students should feel supported and able to contribute effectively in the workplace.

4. Your union will always support and work for: fairer pay, safer workloads and better working conditions. Read more here: timeshighereducation.com/news/eye-water…

Its good to see @Safework_NSW getting involved in University staff health and wellbeing. I think the same survey at any Australian Uni would give similar results. NTEU smh.com.au/national/nsw/s…

Wonderful article on the need for basic #research in Australia. Spinoffs are great but by focusing too prosaically we miss the big advances. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Could not agree more with Brian P Schmidt for his thoughtful take on fundamental and applied #research. As an industrialist I know we NEED curiosity-driven research from academia to continue both delivering trained professionals & new long-term innovations. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

After 16 years as a researcher, yesterday I left academia. It wasn’t a vain or easy decision, but one that took me at least 2 years in denial to acknowledge I needed to move on. This afternoon I gave back my TRI badge and left #FrazerInstUQ. This is why 👇🏽1/20

Such sad news about the passing of Will Steffen. A giant in the science world, a passionate advocate for bolder climate action and a brilliant communicator. Generous with his time and much admired. He’ll be sorely missed.

University of Technology Sydney chancellor Catherine Livingstone says governments and industry should plan to help universities in downturns such as that created by the pandemic. bit.ly/3KeQzL0

Govts need to help Universities. It would have been better said before cuts that saw ~20,000 jobs lost while mgt kept their bonuses. Uni Accord process is ray of hope. Better late than never.
