Very disappointing to see the government step away from its commitment to open a second injecting room in the CBD after the report from Ken Lay confirmed “broad support for an injecting room in the city.”

Great work Teagan! So nice to have you back too and with James Conigrave and me at CAPRAustralia :)

Was very lucky to get a short run down on web-scraping and big data management with from the very clever and oh-so-patient Cynthia Huang @[email protected] yesterday. Such exciting work! Tina Lam Alex Torney

Jesus, this isn't difficult to grasp. Make the trains frequent. Expand the tram network. Fix the buses: get rid of the meandering routes, run them every 10 minutes from 5am to midnight, make sure that everyone is no more than a 1km walk from a stop.

A study on what many of us already know: over 75% of internal service work in academia is done by women. “We were surprised by how brazenly the male researchers described their priorities, for example that they actively didn’t respond to emails”

One thing they don’t prepare you for when your kid goes to school is that you need to get like four apps, all with names like “BOINGO - Parents”, all of which serve a function that could be an email or a piece of paper in a school bag, and none of them work.

This new article by Järvinnen & Mik-Meyer on 'gendered service work in academia' made me go through all stages of grief on a loop and I think EVERYONE in academic should read it 👇journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117…

We think about food miles when calculating carbon costs, but not so much about alcohol miles and other environmental harms from alcohol production. Read our new commentary. CAPRAustralia, XRVicAus, Extinction Rebellion Australia, La Trobe University, @tasa

I endured a lot yesterday.

But having my body and outfit photoshopped by a media outlet was not on my bingo card.

Note the enlarged boobs and outfit to be made more revealing.

Can’t imagine this happening to a male MP.

What gives?

Just Yvette Mojica-Perez continuing to be her amazing prolific self!

Interesting finding from this is that in 2020 consumption dropped the most in the heaviest drinkers, even after controlling for regression to the mean.

NEW: Brotherhood of St. Laurence has announced they're now boycotting Work for the Dole, because 'it can drive people to experience even greater hardship'

Government should finally read the room and abolish the program completely.
