Truly an honor, beyond words, to have been interviewed by the legendary! Initially, I didn't realise how privileged I was, but it became clear after hearing from my Aussie friends and colleagues who were envious!😬@ABCscience #abcscienceshow @AERC_UniMelb @EduMelb

Big thanks to @AustralianData for organizing the event and generously providing travel funding. As someone who was almost ready to give up beforehand @CLEinBNE, it’s still surreal to see how far I've come with your support and encouragement.

[AUS Data Science Network @AustralianData]

Sundance was on our UN Datathon team that finished 1st in Oceana and 2nd in the world. What a great honour to be interviewed by the ABC's Robyn Williams!

[Sundance Zhihong Sun @Sundance_Sun]

@CLEinBNE @ABCscience @AERC_UniMelb @EduMelb Thank you, Tim! You must know Robyn Williams 😅 It was a new but great experience for me. All my prepared lines didn’t get used 😅Everything you hear would be spontaneous.

[Sundance Zhihong Sun @Sundance_Sun]

@CLEinBNE @brisbanelions My colleagues went to that match yesterday!! I was supposed to be there with them if I didn’t need to teach last night. My colleagues are the fans of Demons. I’m the only one cheering for Lions 🦁 from Melbourne.

Pleasure meeting you, Abele Stephan! Your work, like the scenario-based interactive assessment, is truly impressive. Our talk on critical thinking was inspiring. Glad you enjoyed Melbourne. Looking forward to meeting again! @AbeleStephan @AERC_UniMelb @EduMelb

Engaging talk! @EduMelb Provocative ideas on the importance of large-scale assessment and the imperative of solid research. Remember: scrutinize media interpretations and remain anchored in the essence of education amidst the intricate landscape of assessment. @TNHopfenbeck

[Sundance Zhihong Sun @Sundance_Sun]

Hmmm, PISA! Unlock the potential of this double-edged sword by wielding it critically and wisely to amplify its impact. @AERC_UniMelb @EduMelb @OECDEduSkills #PISA

@CLEinBNE @AustralianData @UniMelb @EduMelb @unimelbalumni Thanks, Tim! It was really enjoyable🤗

[Sundance Zhihong Sun @Sundance_Sun]

Absolutely thrilled to be a mentor as a UniMelb alumni! Six years ago, when I first came to @UniMelb @EduMelb as a lonely international student, I wish I had a mentor to show me around. It was such a wonderful program @unimelbalumni !
