Can Australia do better with and for research? buff.ly/5R4CFTh Almost certainly yes, it funds research at a lower rate than the OECD average, it ties up researchers' time in overly complex funding bids, it doesn't fully fund research costs demanding cross-subsidy.

Electricity generation by fuel, UK, week 13th Mar 2026 YTD high for Wind + Solar this week. Can we rely on Gas? Not in North Sea: UK + Norway reserves running down. Overseas supply is highly insecure. @WolframResearch notebook here: buff.ly/jNIqd5b Data @neso_energy

#SixOnSaturday: bucolic trail in the Bunya Mountains Including the two most dangerous living things I have met in Aus Bunya Pine Cone: 10kg falling from 40m Stinging Tree: giant nettle tree and way, way more painful Start at the hospitable Bunya Mountains Tavern #Queensland

Electricity generation by fuel, UK, week to 6th March 2026 High and low ytd for Gas use this week. Are we using more Gas now than 15 years ago? Some days yes, overall definitely not. @WolframResearch notebook here: buff.ly/jNIqd5b Data @neso_energy

#SixOnSaturday sounds on the trail to Kinbombi Falls. The falls are close to Gympie, and very handy for the excellent @goomericafe

Gas prices jumped again this morning and are on track to double - a stark reminder of our exposure to fossil fuel volatility. The real solution isn’t more drilling, but moving away from combustion: electrify, use renewable power, and boost energy efficiency.
