Another inspiring day with even more inspiring UNSW women in STEM. #UNSWWomenChamps #WomenInSTEM #WomenInScience @UNSWScience @UNSW

[Kofoworola Gbayo @rolagbayo]

It's another exciting time at the #UNSWwomenchamps as we learn about "Getting the most out of Social Media" with Twitter being the focus of today's workshop.

Outreach mode engaged! Looking forward to taking my new UNSW Women in Maths and Science Champions Program shirt for a spin whilst inspiring young women to embark on their STEM journey. #UNSWWomenChamps #WomenInSTEM #WomenInScience @UNSWScience @UNSW

@CCguerilla But in all seriousness, we should chat! I have been doing some cool work in this space with @psycarlogy who is an expert in safe systems of work. We developed a Psychosocial Hazard Work Re-Design Tool for use in industry.

[Vanessa Huron @drvanessahuron]

@CCguerilla Don't get me started...

[Vanessa Huron @drvanessahuron]

@SkyNewsAust That's the point. Australia isn't "ours" and so many cannot grasp this concept. We are lucky to live on the land that we share with its traditional custodians and should stop celebrating a day where so many lost so much.

@CCguerilla I hadn't even considered animation. A solid choice!

Happy 50th anniversary to the greatest show ever made -- hilarious one minute, sombre the next. A show that highlighted the horrors or war and the importance of comradery through clever dialogue and actors with great range, without ever reducing the importance of the content.

[Alan Alda @alanalda]

Mike Farrell and I today toasting the 50th anniversary of the show that changed our lives - and our brilliant pals who made it what it was. MASH was a great gift to us.

@silentkil_er A toast holder, and a matching egg cup and plate set from Queen Elizabeth II's jubilee.

@academic_exit The chocolate strip of the Neapolitan icecream tub. It receives divided opinion but somehow still manages to be included in the row of other more unanimously accepted icecream flavours.

@ToniaRud @9NewsSyd It happens! Casinos are all the same really!

[Vanessa Huron @drvanessahuron]

@ToniaRud @9NewsSyd This is the Star, not the Crown. It opened in 1995.

[Vanessa Huron @drvanessahuron]

@CCguerilla I watched a student cheating in a supp exam in real time once by viewing their Moodle logs.

[Vanessa Huron @drvanessahuron]

The focus needs to be on improving the shortfalls of the organisation and the system, rather than blaming the workers.

[Jack Matthews @itsjack2002]

@9NewsSyd @vella_lara No mention of why they're striking? Perhaps we take the blame off the workers and put it on the employers for creating contitions in which transport workers feel the need to strike.

[Vanessa Huron @drvanessahuron]

Irresponsible reporting by @imjesswang_. The average is high ($92k/pa) due to a selection of very high earners dragging it up and ignoring those who have debt and can't pay rent. The reported MEDIAN by ABS is less than $42k.

[news.com.au @newscomauHQ]

Australia’s new average full time wage has been revealed - so where do you fit on the scale?

@Charlesknight Support resources. Many students I have taught have indicated that, although they don't always actively engage with resources (e.g. BB Collaborate sessions), they either listen to them later or (from a MH perspective), feel comfort knowing the support is available if needed.

[Vanessa Huron @drvanessahuron]

@CCguerilla Me too! Perhaps our worlds will collide!

[Vanessa Huron @drvanessahuron]

@CCguerilla Sounds like we need to do something about it, Kane!

[Vanessa Huron @drvanessahuron]

@CCguerilla *mentality (I wish I could correct typos retroactively on this silly platform!).

[Vanessa Huron @drvanessahuron]

@CCguerilla I think that we should be informing students of the facts and implications, sure. But I think sometimes academics use too much of the "stick" mentally rather than actually educating these students in understanding what misconduct means. We need to redesign 1st year better...
