My article today in The Conversation highlights the recent devastating cuts to Earth Science in Australian universities and how both government policies and university choices are to blame. https://t.co/UEXO6IwITl via @ConversationEDU

Earth scientists are on the skilled occupation list for immigration even as universities cut back in this area. The problem lies with a funding model that offers no incentive to lift graduate numbers.

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

Dan Tehran holds a BA, a Masters in Foreign Relations and Trade, and a Masters in International Relations. Are these studies “job relevant” for an education minister?

I love that @DrHelenMcGregor has gone to town in re-developing her @UOW undergraduate Marine Science class for #covidlife even to the point of making an ocean-inspired Spotify playlist to share with her students and YouTube clips on conducting oceanography experiments at home!

Researchers from UOW are looking for people to take part in a study looking at the impact of COVID-19 on the wellbeing of Australians. The online survey takes about 20-30 minutes. People who are interested in taking part in the survey can find it here:
