Dorothy Hodgkin - Wikipedia

This is what electing more 'One Nation' candidates will bring to Australia...anti-vaccination and anti-science, belief-driven misinformation.
Look how well that's going for the infectious disease hellscape that the US is rapidly becoming .

Read the full transcript of Carney’s speech to World Economic Forum - National | Globalnews.ca Prime Minister Mark Carney gave a forceful speech in Davos, Switzerland, on the 'new world order' and how middle powers like Canada can benefit by working together.

"We know the old order is not coming back. We shouldn’t mourn it. Nostalgia is not a strategy, but we believe that from the fracture we can build something bigger, better, stronger, more just. This is the task of the middle powers"

Horrific scenes at a peaceful gathering at Bondi beach in Sydney. And acts of heroism that lift our hearts in a time of darkness. I am devastated by the loss of innocent lives, and send love to grieving families and friends

So much opportunity for Australia to lead, and so much apathy by decision makers

CSIRO to cut up to 350 research jobs in major overhaul After 440 positions were slashed last year, the CSIRO has announced more staff cuts across the country in a bid to remain financially viable.

Smart countries don’t cut funding to their world-leading science and technology research organisations.

The Albanese government has to step up and provide adequate support for research and development in Australia - it has to invest in our future.
