Campaign update. When I ordered 1000 flyers, I thought it was overkill. Ended up running out and re-ordering.

Campaigning at the CSS College forum! It’s really good that they have a regular event like this. There’s even food and drinks! I’m sure we have enough money to do this at every College and bring people together.

Third day of campaigning for ANU Council. Ran out of flyers while visiting the folks in the CASS building. I’ve never been inside and it’s gorgeous. Sadly, ran out of time for the top floor, and I’m now in Sydney. See you next week!

Second day of my ANU Council campaign. Getting to know my CBE colleagues

I submitted my nomination to the ANU Council. My goal is to bring a deep knowledge of our university and previous governance experience to our government body. My goals are to hold administration accountable, and to bring the community's voice to the Council. mikheyev.github.io/anu-council-...

The interim report on university governance aligns with what the ANU community has been saying. The government's recommendations for greater transparency and accountability, like publishing meeting minutes and disclosing executive pay, directly reflect what we want. www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentar...

Last week, over ten years of work came to fruition with a Science paper. We used a novel community genomic approach using museum specimens to find cryptic signs of (likely anthropogenic) declines in Fijian ants. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

This new study on Fijian ants highlights the insect biodiversity crisis 🐜 “Studies like this one are an important step in identifying the reasons behind the so-called insect apocalypse,” says co-author @sasha-mikheyev-anu.bsky.social of @biologyanu.bsky.social. science.anu.edu.au/news-events/...

I am running for the ANU Council. If you are a member of NTEU, please consider voting for me. Here is my platform, in brief: I have worked in academic governance on three continents over decades, including six years in ANU College leadership.
