It's because of this tendency, mixed with the sheer number of online meetings I've been in over this last month, that I actually thumbs-upped someone in real life the other day 😳👍

It's that time of year when you might be feeling a bit more tired than usual. Weary. Maybe burnt out, even. There's a lot going on in the world. But don't worry, this key cutting joint can get you sorted 👍

The ARC is due to appear before Senate Estimates tonight. As usual, they're last on the schedule, at 9pm (Canberra time) ▶️ parlwork.aph.gov.au/committee/de... ("live" schedule).
I hope the committee asks about the job losses & restructure the ARC are proposing👇

ARC are considering a restructure in which jobs there will be lost, a source tells me.
This seems ridiculous when they're about to completely overhaul the entire grants system – they've never undertaken anything so large before!
I've long said ARC needs MANY MORE staff, & should do more, not less.

To add context, part of why there were so many more applicants is because they moved DECRA back six months, effectively skipping funding the scheme for a year. They had to extend eligibility as a result, so this was essentially two years in one. But with no adjustment to number of grants awarded.

Uni settlement makes courts an investment opportunity for unions
A $450,000 “contrition” payment Monash University has agreed to pay the academics’ union is a game-changer that will scale up its legal actions across the sector.

New challenge for busy researchers who lament that they don't have time to think these days:
For 2026, plan for thinking time, or time to do nothing (which is when some of the best ideas happen). Protect it. Make it sacrosanct.
If you don't take your thinking time seriously, no-one else will.

This banger from the academia / writing / research meme stash definitely has wider applicability but I do really like using it for coaching, mentoring, and workshop activities when we talk about the importance of saying 'no' to things as researchers. #academicchatter #academicsky #PhDchat
