I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage.
This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country.

Want an excuse to move to Tasmania (Hobart)? It's honestly a beautiful place to live and enjoy nature with an opportunity for work-life balance. We're looking for a lecturer/senior lecturer in biomedicine. Plus, you'll have the added bonus of me for a colleague.

For students: how can we quantify neurodegeneration using #microscopy? One way is to use a marker like 🟡 below (SMI32). It identifies a population of pyramidal neurons that is lost early in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer and Parkinson. And after some viral infections 👀👀

The mulgara must be protected at all costs!
Mini marsupial bounces back from the brink!
Once listed as Endangered, the crest-tailed mulgara expanded its range by more than 48,000 km² between 2015 and 2021, lifting its status to Least Concern. Biocontrol contributed to the heartwarming bounce-back.

Today’s Supreme Court ruling gives ICE the green light to stop someone just for speaking Spanish in a Home Depot parking lot.

I've been watching a lot of a Scottish metal detectorist on YouTube (TheScottishDetectorist) - he's amazing by the way - he apparently runs tours of Scotland outlining history etc...). One thing that's very clear (and a little weird) is that historically people have been really bad at keeping coins.

Hi! I'm Alan, a horror writer from Tasmania. Talking Scared podcast called me "The Lord of Weird Australia" which I've always liked. This is Horror called me, "Australia's master of literary darkness." I like that too! The graphic below shows all my stuff. Learn more here: alanbaxter.com.au
