Drenches bought us time. But that time is running out. Genetics is what comes next. This week, in conjunction with @SwabtecInfo , we bring a new method of assessing genetic resistance to worms in sheep to the New Zealand market. #BredToFightBack #neXtResist @neXtgenAgri

🏃‍♀️| ‘Existential questions’: is this the beginning of the end of the Commonwealth Games? Aside from the viability of the 2026 event, Victoria pulling out of hosting the event raises the broader question of whether the Commonwealth Games will survive: https://t.co/t0wf5fkVvQ @DamienWhitburn @HunterFujak

[Damien Whitburn @DamienWhitburn]

@HunterFujak Yep. Need to get on that at some stage. Good to see traction in media, makes it an easier sell.

@DrSarahWymer @footyindustryAU Great work on this. Very interesting. Can definitely use this for some of our research.

[Heath McDonald @prof_hmcd]

@BobHeere As discussed Bob, you’re continuing to conflate a measure of publication quantity with those who have ‘contributed most to the field’. Many impactful scholars/areas ignored. Not everyone will attend @NASSM, so public debate on this is important, especially for junior colleagues.

[Dr. Jorts, Ph.D. @WayneLBlack1]

Dr. Heere - I appreciate this response and I want to say your feelings & defending your teams ranking are valid. At the same time, this response misses the point that many ppl made. I’m only speaking for myself and how I have interpreted everything. Here is my feedback

[Derek Silva (derekcrim.bsky.social) @Derekcrim]

Lol at sports management folks trying to rank *individual* scholars based on publications in three journals.

If you’re an academic just don’t do this. It’s never a good look.

With the sports grants scandal dragging on into its third week, 7.30's satirist @markhumphries and his co-writer @evanwilliams felt there was a gap in the market for a new kind of sports show. #abc730 #satire #WideWorldOfRorts

This baby rhino doesn't care who wins the. #SuperBowl. She just wants her mama back. But she's not coming back. Her horn is being made into an ornament or a medicinal pill. RT to show everyone how evil #trophyhunting is.

[Brittany Green @BrittanyGreenA]

This is absolutely beautiful. @Nike does it again ❤️

[Damien Whitburn @DamienWhitburn]

@MikeNaraine I am not sure how but we will find a way.

[Damien Whitburn @DamienWhitburn]

@MikeNaraine Ouch. We will probably lose that also!
