Mineral fanatic. Lecturer @UOW. Mum. Likes stories of how our 🌏 formed. Loves looking at patterns using electron 🔬s. Wants more women in geology plz (she/her)
Why is such a devastating national loss of talent on this scale overlooked by the media @abcscience@smh @10NewsFirst @Science_Academy? Australia needs these scientists to create a more sustainable, brighter future for us through research and education. And NO 👩🔬women left!?(1/3)
So @Macquarie_Uni has now officially made all but two of its geoscience staff redundant, and the department will cease to exist at the end of this year. 1/3
@nkilvert The dissolution of a department ranked in the Top 50 in the world for Earth and marine science will directly limit our national capability to tackle the most pressing environmental challenges in coming decades. Uni enrolment #s now dictate research avenues for Australia
I’m so sorry for the researchers, the research students & the families affected. I’m even more sorry for our nation: for the lost potential of students who will never meet the outstanding educators affected by these rash decisions. Please reach out if I can help in any way. (3/3)
@tectonicSZ@ShepGracie@ABCscience@smh @10NewsFirst @Science_Academy After your June 19 article @JordsBaker, I thought you should know what the situation looks like from the bottom up. Is the fiscal response to COVID-19 compounded by the government's recent 'art vs. science' fee restructure? Are enrolment #s the only measure of value to society?
My amazing colleague @teresaubide is one of entries for the Queensland 2020 women in STEM awards for ECRs. Please watch the video, read the blurb and vote for her at mhttps://www.thinkable.org/submission_entries/48dOyk31 #WomenInSTEM @UQ_sees @UQscience @DHSymposium
The time has come to return home after a fantastic two-week field #geology class on the #NSW South Coast of #Australia. It was great hanging out with, and training our next batch of @UOW geo's, enviro's and engineers with @4Dlandscapes and Gert van den Bergh) @GeoQuEST_UOW
