ARC says Discovery Projects outcomes will be tomorrow (Tuesday). Linkage Projects (2025, round 1) on Wed. Over past ~year, it's often been at about 11am (Canberra). My bot will pick up the change to RMS & post immediately. ARC should email outcomes to lead CIs, but might take an 1hr or so for DPs

Once again, ARC hits the 🎯 with their comms strategy: 8pm on Sunday night. When the eyeballs of researchers are glued to … twitter? They've not posted this anywhere else. I can't think of a better way to _not_ "engage stakeholders". Almost uncanny.

The ARC has “announced” an update on the proposed changes to its grant schemes. Key changes, in response to “nearly 350” submissions” (!) on their proposal, are 👇 More here: www.arc.gov.au/news-publica...

Business dudes have been suckered by “yo, this computer *thinks*” since the 1950s.

Pinker has been a loud-and-proud voice for anti-intellectualism and a promoter of chin-stroking race-science platforms such as Quillette for a decade. This isn't lack of awareness. It's an attempt to protect his extremely lucrative brand from association with the causes that helped build it.

Which occupations carry the highest risk of sexual harassment—and who is doing the harassing? Our new study finds two distinct patterns depending on whether harassment comes from inside or outside the workplace. CEPR WP: cepr.org/publications... Ungated: drive.google.com/file/d/1jPOV... 🧵 1/

What we’ve launched today is the first step for how we’re going to evolve verification. The initial set of trusted verifiers includes news orgs who’ve agreed to take on the task of verification for their journalists. In the future, this set will expand, as well as how apps can choose to use them.

While the gospels say that Judas led the Romans to Jesus, a new theory is gaining traction with some Biblical scholars. There is evidence, some say, that Judas merely shared Christ's location on an insecure group chat that accidentally included several Roman officials and journalists.

I put together a (quick) web map showing change in US land border crossings from Canada over the past few months. Mainly a procrastination project, but also quite interesting to compare border crossings and provinces. ptal-io.github.io/border/

This week the ARC should release Expressions of Interest outcomes for Discovery Projects. Should be Wed–Fri. They’re not public, so my bot cannot track them. The ARC should email applicants, and maybe tweet(?), to say outcomes are available in RMS.

With hindsight, asking the world's tallest man to open our new heliport wasn't the best idea.
