Today is the first day of the IceCube Fall Collaboration meeting hosted by Stockholm University in Sweden! It's going to be an exciting and busy week for IceCubers who are attending from around the world.

Very welcome news: The government intends to implement all the key recommendations of the ARC review! Including changes that Australian Institute of Physics advocated for.

1/7 New paper with Rebecca Leane. This is the DIY toolbox for your next dark matter capture project. We present a package that allows you quick and efficient semi-analytical computations of dark matter capture rates in celestial object across various mass and interaction strength.

Terrific 3-day STEM Enrichment Academy conference held at Flinders University last week, to promote STEM careers to high school girls. Well done Professor Maria Parappilly OAM for the fantastic effort by you and your team!

For our Dark Matter Centre annual ECR meeting this year I gave a lecture entitled "How to make a plot", in which I tried (and failed) not to rant about all the things I like and dislike about plots in physics.
