We had to say goodbye to this little guy today. Scooter was 12 years old and the best boy. The big hole in our heart will be there for the longest time. He was loved by so many. ❤️

A new book explores a paradox: women have been excluded from Australian science for many social and political reasons, but were also present and active in it from its earliest days.

The ability of gravity to warp space and time allows us to observe everything from dark matter and black holes to extrasolar planets and distant stars.

Can’t thank all the amazing staff at ANAT enough for the ANAT Synapse Residency. And also to Prof Tamara Davis and her amazing team at the University of Queensland for such kindness and insight. My latest post here where I talk to Dr Leonardo Giani about cosmological constant(s) and his work…
