@atomcrowley I might be revealing how deranged I am here but I can actually remember where at least one ad break came in - Han is giving instructions to C3PO but also repeatedly interrupting him:

“Hurry will you, I haven’t got all day.” 🤪

@atomcrowley hey Tom, was your VHS of Return of the Jedi off the TV from Easter 1996? My Mum also showed me ROTJ first and ruined all the twists 🤦🏼‍♂️

@SophiaFrentz @PaulM_ACEx @Ha_Tanya @excitonscience And we recognise the issue is more complicated than a binary gap between men and women. I'd very much welcome your participation and thoughts if you're free to attend in person or remotely.

@SophiaFrentz @PaulM_ACEx @Ha_Tanya @excitonscience Hi Sophia, great question! I'm helping to organise the event and as a non-binary person myself I'm 100% with you. We'll definitely be trying to address the issue of LGBTQIA+ inclusion in STEM.

[Niki Strachan🌈 @Niki_Strachan]

How can we advance the cause of gender equality in STEM?

Join @excitonscience in person or online as a panel of experts, including @Vic_LeadSci, @KatieAllenMP, @DrAnitaGoh & @AnitaHoBaillie, tackle this important challenge.

As I discussed within this @SBSNews contribution, #renewable energy is now lower in cost than conventional #FossilFuels. As such, we now need the right mechanisms in place to deploy #renewable technologies at scale. @MonashEnergy @monashengineers @excitonscience

Great to have our work showcased by the ⁦@guardiannews⁩. https://t.co/8Ggb66o1rZ

[Monash Engineering @monashengineers]

By mapping sunlight in the City of Melbourne, our researchers, led by Prof @JacekJasieniak, have found that our city buildings could generate 2/3 of their energy needs using #photovoltaiccells #COP26

@maxrushden @guardian_sport @JacobSteinberg @bglendenning @_JordanJBryan Really enjoyed the heartfelt letter read out at the end of the pod. Completely agree with the sentiment. You all do a great job and it's very much appreciated. Sometimes I enjoy it more than the football ;)

[UNSW Science @UNSWScience]

Apart from world-class photovoltaics research, what else do you find on a @excitonscience lab tour? Oh, only spin coaters, vacuum ovens and chess sets:

Time for everyone to step down from our roles as armchair epidemiologists and take up new positions as amateur seismologists #earthquake

[Dane McCamey @dane_mcc]

Very excited for this opportunity for great researchers to join the @excitonscience team. Want to work on spin physics/chemistry in Australia - let's chat! @EPR_ESR

[Niki Strachan🌈 @Niki_Strachan]

@benmackey This is exceptional 🙊🙈

[Niki Strachan🌈 @Niki_Strachan]

You can watch @nrmkwood and Valerie Mitchell from @ANSTO give a talk about this work as part of @Aus_ScienceWeek last week:

Something to pierce your #COVID19 gloom today.

A good news story about @excitonscience's hard work over the last year, led by @nrmkwood, to develop a key component for COVID testing kits.
