Just showed the 9yo and 4yo Meatloaf's 'hot summer night' film clip.
4yo: oh my shit!
9yo: I can see why they call him meatloaf.

Times are tough for some. One of my current PhD students is suffering more than most. Saif moved his whole family to Australia to pursue his dreams. Now he is in Sydney supporting his 4 year old daughter to fight leukemia. Please help, if you can👇

I have always thought I was empathetic. I now believe true empathy is impossible - it is an illusion to think you understand what goes on in someone else's brain.

@cosmicpinot Thanks Brian!

A rant on grants:
I have applied 3 times for an @arc_gov_au FF – all unsuccessful.
I was confident on 2 of these, naively the first time (one of my first grants ever written). And then again when I was more senior and had a good track record.

[Luke Connal @LukeConnal]

@slkristufek @arc_gov_au Thanks!

[Luke Connal @LukeConnal]

@Jackson_Lab @arc_gov_au Thanks Colin!
