“A number of things were taken into account as we move towards proposing changes … #funding model changes, #regulatory environment, international student #downturn and so on – but also the reality that the #demand for courses in the Faculty of #Arts has changed,”

“The chair of the inquiry, #DrSarahKaine, raised concerns about “sham redundancies” within the #FacultyOfArts because a number of #courses that had previously been taught by a #staff member who took a #redundancy are now being taught by #casuals

Those uppity clerks are getting out of control again.

Macquarie University: Turning over a new leaf: Macquarie’s rare plant collection goes digital . “A new Atlas of Living Australia grant will help digitise 16,000 plant specimens at Macquarie University, filling critical gaps in national biodiversity data and making rare species records accessible to researchers worldwide.”

"Another reason for Australia’s slowness was because of its disproportionate focus on #Islamist extremist terrorism, driven by the predominantly anti-Muslim #terrorism discourse of some mainstream politicians. The thesis also explores what #Australia could do to counter the growing RWE threat." https://figshare.mq.edu.au/articles/thesis/Right-wing_extremist_threats_to_Australia_in_the_context_of_the_Christchurch_terrorist_attack/21522735 Right-wing #extremist threats to Australia in the context of the #ChristchurchTerroristAttack - #MacquarieUniversity

Folks who are gonna be in
#Sydney in about a month (21 Sept.) ... we're hosting our huge annual Astronomy Open Night on campus (Macquarie Uni.) which is a fun-filled family night where you can look through telescopes, do science experiments, hear talks and more!

https://event.mq.edu.au/astronomy-open-night/

I'll be giving a short talk titled 'Evil Astrophysics – Using Pulsars as a Supervillain', blending astrophysics, Sci-Fi and comics!

Lots of other great talks from our team as well: https://event.mq.edu.au/astronomy-open-night/short-talks

And plenty of activities to do: https://event.mq.edu.au/astronomy-open-night/activities

It's always a really fun night, and young folks love it as they get to look through telescopes, do laser graffiti, participate in physics experiments and hear from some of Australia's best scientists! We get about 2000 people attending annually..

Def. recommend bringing the fam to this!

#BigScrub Rainforest Conservancy and #MacquarieUniversity work to protect the "living seed bank" of Carrabeens and other Gondwanan canopy tree species.

The Conservancy team up at big scrub are absolute legends and I can't speak of them highly enough. This project is beautiful and the work they are doing is not only protecting but expanding and enriching one of the most precious #rainforests in #Australia
