Tolstoy: so it’s set during the Napoleonic wars and, while ostensibly a novel, is really more a treatise on the philosophy of history. It is also about love.

Every Australian university research office: have you thought about applying for a Linkage first?

[Elizabeth Roberts-Pedersen @ElizabethRobP]

@bourke_joanna This is dreadful news Joanna - my condolences to you and her colleagues, friends and family. Her POW book was meticulous and compelling and admired by many Australian historians working on similar topics.

Clever folks write clever things: @eleaud, @CharmRobson, @CathyColeborne, Tamara Blakemore, Kath McPhillips, Katie Mills and Michele Horne, plus clinicians Bipin Ravindran and John Boulton, in the lastest Health and History issue on trauma in Australia. https://t.co/4bvxjxW3AQ

"I'm not hung up on the gender-neutral term 'workwomanship' because I know it refers to the work of women and men," Jon, 46, male workwoman.

Me: maybe we should do a special issue

@courtneyszto Feeling the pain!

[Elizabeth Roberts-Pedersen @ElizabethRobP]

@clarecorbould Thanks Clare. I might put that in my next grant application.... ('impact and engagement').

[Elizabeth Roberts-Pedersen @ElizabethRobP]

Hey guys, it looks like there's lots of interest in this topic. What if we think about putting together some kind of special issue?

[Elizabeth Roberts-Pedersen @ElizabethRobP]

How do you solve a problem like Diesel 10?

Never assume the jingoism of veterans.

This is appalling in various ways but particularly for the DECRA applicants, who get only two shots at these fellowships, who often apply in conditions of precarity and whose careers (can I stay in academia?) and personal lives (can I have a baby?) literally pivot on the outcome.

[Australian Academy of the Humanities @HumanitiesAU]

Over $4M stripped from #humanities researchers as former Minister @Birmo rejected 11 grants after rigorous peer review process. Political interference is a fundamental attack on the integrity of our research funding system. @uniaus @arc_gov_au @SenKimCarr

Australian politicians have asked paediatrician Paul Bauert whether he thinks a child will have to die on Nauru before things change. GEE, WE WOULDN'T WANT TO BE HELD RANSOM BY OUR OWN SENSE OF DECENCY WOULD WE. https://t.co/hZUl6U56yI

Me for 8 years: academic Twitter is just a lot of faux modest bragging. No WAY I’d ever join. Promotions seminar last week: “social media *might* help your woeful h-index”. Me this week: gosh such an honour plz come to my talk. (I hate myself, obviously). https://t.co/xoXArEkHAn
