Translation for last year PhD students: You want to watch the ARC webpage tomorrow to see who will be looking for postdocs in 2026
ARC says Discovery Projects outcomes will be tomorrow (Tuesday). Linkage Projects (2025, round 1) on Wed. Over past ~year, it's often been at about 11am (Canberra).
My bot will pick up the change to RMS & post immediately.
ARC should email outcomes to lead CIs, but might take an 1hr or so for DPs

Asked my pal from Somerset if he knew anyone capable of taking the square root of -𝑟².
"I are!" he said.
That's a proof by country diction.

So I had to call the global help desk, be on hold, ask to be called back, get a human person’s advice, call again on another medium that allows screen sharing, and now have the request partially saved waiting for more input. (The advisor had to look up manuals too…) #perennialbureaucracy 🤷🏽♀️
