"Contrary to common misconceptions, regret is very rare. Less than 1% of people decide it was the wrong choice to undergo gender-affirming surgery and even fewer request surgery to return their body to what it was (so-called “detransition”)." theconversation.com/gender-affir...

“This is a protection racket. The major parties in the Senate teamed up to protect one of their own and senior ANU leadership … rather than acting in the best interests of the staff and students who are crying out for support.” Senator @davidpocock.bsky.social www.afr.com/politics/fed...

We only made it about a quarter of the way across the bridge before the march was turned around. A huge crowd, hugely diverse: proud to be there with my family #MarchforHumanity

A *huge* problem. It also includes search committee positions, review requests, letters of recommendation, P&T reviews (so, so many of these post tenure)—it goes on and on. And the social penalties for women saying no are so dramatically higher than when men say no.

Excited to share @seoyeonbae211.bsky.social's first preprint—an ambitious global study of human motivation! Using data from 900,000+ people in 100+ countries, we find altruistic motives consistently outweigh egoistic ones across cultures. osf.io/preprints/ps...

“What we do have are two independent analyses of ANU's 2023 financial statements - one by S&P Global, the other by two ANU Professors of Economics. Neither supports the executive's claim of a $126 million operating deficit” www.canberratimes.com.au/story/898098...

It's worth remembering that last year #ANU staff end of year parties got cancelled - oh, and that ANU leadership asked staff to give up their pay rise... No wonder @NTEUnion members have no confidence in ANU leadership. www.afr.com/policy/healt...

It was wonderful working with One Woman Project to share my PhD research with the public through their blog. You can read an abridged version of my mixed-methods Twitter/X study on feminist discourses concerning trans women here: www.onewomanproject.org/feminism/rec...

Mr Potato Head, some stats for you. #dutton #nuclear #renewables

Feeling incredibly bloody lucky to have been successful with our #DP25. The system feels like such a lottery but it’s nice to finally get an ARC run on the board. Looking forward to getting started.

Ridiculously strong Outstanding Postgraduate Research Award talks kicking off at #sasp2024

Planning and prep all done. Hold on to your butts. #sasp2024

To those prepping 2026 Discovery Projects EOIs while still waiting on 2025 outcomes: I don't know when they'll be released. I'm sorry. Remember, ARC *planned* this. Planned outcomes for 20–29Nov & 13Dec EOI deadline. They knew ~500 teams would now be wasting time prepping EOIs.

Starter Pack for Social Psychology! Apologies if I made mistakes including/excluding people. I tended to go off BlueSky profile info! Just let me know if you want in or out! 😊 #SocialPsyc #Psychology 🧪

Who we care about is limited – but our research shows how humans can expand their ‘moral circle’. Great to do this with @drcharlie.bsky.social theconversation.com/who-we-care-...

Just imagine how rare a transgender ghost must be!

In a world where it feels like we are growing apart, how do we make the opposite happen and grow our moral circles? Our new paper, just accepted in Mindfulness, found a brief compassion focused intervention can do just this! Great with Dr Charlie Crimston and Dr April Hoang. Paper coming soon…

A lovely bunch of folks attended our Gender & Sexuality Pre-conference for SASP 2023 ⚧️🏳️‍🌈

THINGS WE DIDN'T DO: - Start The Fire - Shoot The Deputy THINGS WE DID DO: - Built This City - Shot The Sheriff THINGS WE WANT TO DO: - Break Free - Hold Your Hand THINGS WE WILL DO: - Rock You - Survive -Anything For Love THINGS WE WON'T DO: - That

Lovely trek through Namadgi National Park today. So much wombat poo 💩

Excited to see this out! Our paper, led by Audrey Aday, shows that gender differences in systemitising and empathising, often used to justify gender inequalities, are not innate but due to gender differences in learning opportunities. #socialpsyc #psychsky journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Absolutely thrilled to announce I'll be staying in bed this morning with a book and a coffee ☕

Never suggest that Indigenous Australians were against the Yes vote. Especially those in remote areas. Thanks to Rob Baillieu for this map.

Back in Brisbane/Meanjin ☀️

Such a disappointing day yesterday. Such a missed opportunity for Australia. There is so much good in this place, in these people. I just wish we demonstrated it a little more often, and gave into fear a little less. #yes23

I am hoping that as a nation, we are able to extend out our hands in friendship. for people outside of Australia, some information on today's referendum. it includes comments from @snurb.bsky.social on the types of disinformation flying about. www.logicallyfacts.com/en/analysis/...

It was terrific to be a part of this great podcast: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

What’s the Israel-Palestine conflict about? A simple guide

Lovely birthday dinner last night with some even lovelier folks 🥰

Caaaaaaaaaaanbra 😍

Hit the frog and toad again yesterday for a #yes23 letterbox drop. Most people were all smiles 😊💪

Just finished Sex Education. Many tears and a bittersweet ending. It wasn't perfect, but few things are. Will definitely miss this show. This level of representation 20 years ago would have been a game changer, and I hope that in another 20 years it won't be such an outlier 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Moneypenny and Indiana. Two delightful little weirdos 🥰
