Using @eROSITA_SRG's first all-sky survey, @ICRAR@CurtinUni researchers @astro_del (Dr Adelle Goodwin) & Silvia Mantovanini combined its X-ray data with radio observations from Australian surveys to get deeper insights into high energy cosmic phenomena: https://t.co/tth6KY1OtJ
In less than 24 hours we'll be releasing all the Data from the First @eROSITA_SRG all-sky survey, including the largest X-ray catalogue ever published. Several associated scientific papers will also be in the @arxiv tomorrow. Watch this space! @MPE_Garching
This week's meeting @Swinburne is also a bit of a reunion for our @Monash_Science grads – @astro_del@antiqueDB5 Lucy McNeill, Alex Kemp & possibly others; great to catch up with everyone and looking forward to some excellent presentations!
Astronomers using @NASAWebb, and a slew of other telescopes including @CSIRO_ATNF's ATCA, have found the strongest evidence yet that merging pulsars create the heavy metals we find here on Earth. ICRAR's Dr Gemma Anderson, who was on the team, explains.
The most heartbreaking result of this referendum is that Indigenous communities voted overwhelmingly in support of a constitutionally enshrined voice and the rest of the country denied it to them. I'm sorry, and ashamed to be Australian right now.
@MLCGame The only divisive argument here is yours - the refusal to help those in our country that are the most in need. The gap between Indigenous lives and everyone else is only going to get bigger with your racism.
@MLCGame If you are so pro unity and anti division, why are you not talking about the fact that Indigenous Australians make up just 2% of our population but 27% of the national prison pop? Or that there is a gap of 8 years in life expectancy for Aboriginal vs non-Aboriginal Australians?
a shameful day to be australian. these plots of #Referendum2023 results and indigenous population by electoral division and locality show 1) indigenous people voted Yes, and 2) non-indigenous people voted No where indigenous populations are higher. thread w/ explanation:
Today I am out campaigning for the Yes vote in Australia's referendum.
When you go to the polls today consider voting YES for a better future for everyone!
Congrats to new ICRAR @ForrestResearch Fellows Dr @astro_del and Dr @RJWright25! Adelle will be continuing to figure out the mysteries of black holes at @CurtinUni, while Ruby will return to @UWAresearch to study how galaxies form. We can't wait to have you both (again!) in 2024.
🌌🔬🌟 From unravelling galaxy gases to growth hormones in beef, and black hole mysteries to optimising hydrogen production, recipients of the 2024 Forrest Fellowships are ready to change the world 🌠🚀📚 #UWA@ForrestResearch@CurtinUni@ICRAR

A three-fold return on public investment from ARC-funded research highlights “strong economy-powering returns” for taxpayers from university research. It makes the case to double the ARC grants budget to back more of our brilliant researchers. https://t.co/My1Yx7WPWE
Of all the six states and two territories of Australia, only ONE female scientist mentioned in all high school STEM curriculum (and 144 men). IncludeHer is working to redress this imbalance. Please support them!
