@ProfNicoleBell @ausphysics Great turn out, amazing job by the local team!!!

[Tim van der Laan @timavanderLaan]

Revolutionary Energy Storage Systems, a future science platform at @CSIRO. Great engagement exploring new platforms to generate and store energy, like biological systems! I'll of course throw some 2D materials in later!

The AIP wrote to the Education Minister regarding the ARC board.

We received a response providing clarification.

The original wording has been improved, though is still restrictive.

[Prof Nicole Bell @ProfNicoleBell]

Very welcome news:

The government intends to implement all the key recommendations of the ARC review!

Including changes that @ausphysics advocated for.

Are you a great organiser? Would you like to increase your visibility and expand your network in physics? We're on the hunt for a new National Honorary Secretary for the AIP.
Thank you to @KirrilyRule for her 6 years of service in the role.

I've started to use #chatgpt to help draft emails and parts of grants. I think it's got much more to give, what are others using it for?
