3 in 4 western Sydney public school students speak a language other than English at home. While the region’s most diverse school caters to nearly 80 different languages! Rich cultural & linguistic diversity. Read more in CESE’s bulletin. https://t.co/poTxsmV0dC #NSWcese

The #Atlantis tale, famed for a lost city swallowed by the sea, isn't alone. Many cultures share #legends of vanished lands and cities, hidden under water, sand, or vegetation, most remaining #undiscovered.

More than a thousand years before the first European explorer reached Korea’s shores, the Persian Empire was writing love stories about Korean princesses.

Point made by @PatMcGorry just now to @Raf_Epstein (will defer to the Professor’s expertise): People with schizophrenia are less likely to commit violent crimes, not more. He says fact @nswpolice say killer was targeting women means could be other factors than mental illness.

In 2007, archaeologists unearthed a remarkable 2200 year-old tomb in Turpan, China, revealing the remains of a man with a unique prosthetic leg.

The man's leg was severely deformed, with the kneecap, thigh bone and shinbone fused together at a sharp angle. Attached to this deformed limb was a prosthetic leg, crafted with a horse hoof as its tip.

Evidence of wear on the prosthetic suggested that it had been used extensively, hinting at the man's remarkable resilience and adaptability in the face of his physical limitations.

Whilst in Prague for a Horizons show this evening, I was allowed to wander around the magnificent Klementinum Library. There are books in here with hand written notes by Tycho Brahe! I can’t think of a more stunning example of the romance of knowledge.

In the highly unlikely event that you shave a tiger, you’ll find that under its gold-and-black striped fur is… striped skin! In contrast, a zebra has black & white striped hair, but its skin is plain black

Stone age flowers ~ these plants (Silene stenophylla) were successfully generated from 30,000-year-old seeds & fruit material that had been stored by ancient squirrels in their burrows, preserved in the Siberian permafrost

We aren’t calling for Olympic pools and polo fields. We are calling for safe, high quality classrooms, libraries and learning spaces that enable teachers and students to do their best. #auspol

Foamy mud or muddy foam? Recent rains have transported fine soils from the catchment of the local creek onto the beach at Pottsville, NSW. A good example of why riparian zone management is important.

#CRPS is said to be incurable, but total remission IS POSSIBLE. If we keep on with the palliative care model we'll never know how many can recover. In my view, as someone in remission, we need to demand resources to help people actually heal, rather than only suppressing pain.
