If you're inclined to read Carlo Rovelli's latest, I'd suggest reading @uqpharri's latest first.

An indictment of how this country's politicians treat culture unless it comes in Anzac packaging. A better funding deal for the nation's cultural institutions including the National Gallery, Library, Museum, Archives, and Film and Sound Archive is urgent. https://t.co/cq2F55TIks

Good thread on a great book

[Peter Harrison @uqpharri]

Lots of good ideas here, including this:
"We should provide more and longer funding periods for early career fellows (5-7 years). And we should be providing more funding, in general, for supporting people (and especially post-docs) in other programs...."

“I think one reason why the history of science has disappeared from science courses is that it’s no longer offering what the scientists wanted from it, which was a history of triumph.” Editor-in-Chief @SamuelLoncar in conversation with Lorraine Daston https://t.co/ON5eHlnHUh

[Peter Harrison @uqpharri]

IASH director Peter Harrison speaks with @SamuelLoncar about trust in science and more

[Marginalia Review of Books @MarginaliaROB]

"Why we do place such stock in the technological mastery of the world that science provides? The answer to this is less obvious, and this where the history of science can be enlightening." —@uqpharri, Co-director of Marginalia's Meanings of Science Project https://t.co/Rs1omeFFEi

[IASH @IASH_UQ]

Great to see @IanHesketh make the top 10!

https://t.co/ymRvvDlm6s It's our FINAL Top Ten for 2021. Historians didn't stop publishing great op-eds, longform articles and thinkpieces this week, so we didn't stop rounding them up. Feat. @jimdowns1 @rachelshelden Kellie Carter Jackson @kcarterjackson ++++

My opinion in today's Sydney Morning Herald: the Australian government's desperate lack of vision is a massive opportunity cost for our research and innovation. We need agility, trust, and intellectual diversity: Time to get bold!
