Departing German chancellor Angela Merkel is something rare – a politician who previously worked as a scientist. Only 7% of Aus MPs have #science backgrounds. "What if they were a majority?", ask UNSW's Prof Emma L Johnston AO FAA FTSE + Science & Medicine at ANU's Kylie Walker. bit.ly/3m4QVG2

One of my pet peeves when reviewing papers is terrible abstracts. The abstract is arguably the most important part of your paper. When looking for literature, I read the abstract and determine whether the paper is worth reading. First impressions are EVERYTHING.

Tip: Don’t let paywalls stop you from keeping up to date with literature. If it’s not open access or your institution doesn’t have access, email the corresponding author. We are usually thrilled that someone wants to read our hard work! #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter #phdchat

Occasional reminder that I (and virtually every other academic on Twitter) will gladly send you a PDF of anything I've ever published if you don't have journal access. Just send me a DM.

Have you ever tried explaining the greenhouse effect using … An inflatable globe 🌍 A head torch 🔦 Two blankets 🛌 Two young people 🙋‍♀️🙋 #ClimateEducation

I presented some of my research on ponds and methane at this meeting, and a few people were shocked – they had no idea that ponds released methane, and had assumed ponds were great for everything. So, a thread about ponds and climate. (1/7)

Life is too short to worry about stupid things. Have fun. Fall in love. Regret nothing, and don't let people bring you down. Study, think, create, and grow. Teach yourself and teach others.

Hey Simon Biggs, I know you’re an avid walker in and around the beautiful UWA campus, and as your time with us will end soon, I’d like to set you a challenge…to post a series of photos of your favourite spots/things around campus. What do you say??
