But…but…I thought blokes were the logical, hard data, rational gender…and us chicky babes the hysterical ones…! (Great column by ⁦@vanbadham⁩ ) https://t.co/fy6nbuIiUF

Australia is one of the few countries with a developed research sector that doesn't have a research integrity watchdog.

This leads to harmful fraudulent research, and wasting millions of taxpayer dollars.

Postdoctoral Research Fellow @kristenscicluna explains. #auspol

'Let's just be decent for once.' As Australia inches closer to Referendum Day, @rove explains why giving our First Nations People a Voice to Parliament should unite us, not divide us.

Very well put by Joe Hildebrand.

Putting aside the deeper significance, he makes the point that most Aussies’ lives will move on, unaffected on 15 Oct.

For a minority of Australians, though, it’s life changing.

Joe asks us to consider them. https://t.co/mvt2xFdR47

Every now and then something happens on TikTok that transcends social media and becomes a *work of art*

This is the high impact messaging that’s been absent for three years. And it’s not government doing it. @RealOzSage Will we choose to prevent Covid deaths? https://t.co/dcFHss0pRU via @YouTube

[Rachel Schraer @rachelschraer]

A viral tweet is claiming to give bombshell news (🚨) that Pfizer is "admitting" they never tested whether the vaccine prevented transmission and therefore the concept of "get vaccinated for others" was a lie - this is wrong on basically every count. So, some facts.

A thread about Parliament, power and photo ops.

When I was 20, I visited Parliament with a group of young women advocating for gender equality.

We were told we would meet Scott Morrison. We waited next to groups of school kids. He went around the circle posing with each group.

Nature does open access

[NickMcCallum7 @NickMcCallum7]

The treatment of asylum seekers at the Park Hotel is a national disgrace. Some have been detained there for years amid reports of maggot ridden food, Covid outbreaks, severe mental health issues. At least Novak Djokovic’s detention there has put a spotlight on this inhumanity.

@WEHI_research @NajouaLalaoui @shalinhnaik Amazing! Two of my favourite scientists at WEHI - congrats to you both! So glad to see your wonderful work acknowledged like this. 🎉👏

This incredibly thoughtful and moving thread from one of the researchers who got us out of lockdown last year is for those Victorians exhausted by the endless criticism of the sacrifices we made for all Australians, sacrifices now sadly squandered by others. @abcmelbourne

[Natasha Mitchell (she/her) @natashamitchell]

Stop using "underlying conditions" as a euphemism for a somehow acceptable/expected death. Neo-eugenic vibe. "Underlying conditions" don't stop people living vibrant, active, purposeful lives. *Most humans* have some kind of underlying condition. Being alive is riddled with them
