Strike and picket at RMIT tomorrow. City and Bundoora campuses. I hope a lot of people join in to help!

(And I hope security are supportive, although with the rate they took down our posters today, I doubt it).

Should we be investigating the trustworthiness of the research or the researcher?

Another day bashing through extremely dense Melaleuca in search of #malleefowl with #EsperanceTjaltjraak #IndigenousRangers. After getting whipped in the face by branches for 5 hrs, Im not able to include any quotes from the team because they all included curse words 🤬 (and a lot of grunting!). Good thing no one needed to record the “sounds of the bush” 🤣🤣🤣 And no, we didn’t see any birds 🙄 Thankfully, these hard-earned data are part of a new MSc #student #research project in collaboration with #RMIT University - stay tuned for exciting updates!

Just submitted my last assignment for my Graduate Certificate in #Geospatial Science at #RMIT. Yay! https://www.harpercollins.com.au/9780062081278/no-more-pencils-no-more-books-no-more-teachers-dirty-looks/

Only three pieces of assessment left to finish my #RMIT Graduate Certificate in #geospatial science. Almost there! I'll be done by the end of next week.

Next was an engaging talk by Aida Ghalebeigi on #gender and employment in the Australian transport sector at #RMIT University. The results here are impressive, suggesting that the regulations put in place to achieve gender parity (which have some real teeth) are paying off https://youtu.be/QTcrGNEewBk?t=2095 (6/13) #Australia

My son just got into #rmit bachelor os science. He starts 2023, I finish my bachelor of IT end of 2023. #freakout :nice:

I am thrilled and honoured to announce that I have been appointed as the next Director of the Water: Effective Technologies and Tools (WETT) Research Centre at #RMITUniversity (starting from the end of January, 2023).

I look forward to building on the excellent prior leadership of Prof. Jega Jegatheesan and previously, Prof. Felicity Roddick and to working with current and future members of the #WETTResearchCentre to expand and further strengthen our research, innovation and translation in water science, engineering and technologies at #RMIT.

I look forward also to working collaboratively with water industry partners and stakeholders (including Aboriginal Traditional Owners) to provide sustainable solutions for water management and usage and to protect our natural waterways, bays and seas.

You can find out more about the WETT Research Centre on:

I'm very proud of the #research by Prof. #Nicki_Eshtiaghi (#RMIT) in removing #microplastics from water--in one hour, as opposed to days in #current #processes --using #magnets.

Good #Friday

Ok #introduction time! :blobcatdance: I’m Joni, I’m a lecturer at #RMIT in social policy (via crim justice, GUSS) but my background is in critical #sexuality studies (ARCSHS alumni). I’m originally from Canada but have been living in Melbourne for nearly 15 years. I’m a certified crazy #cat lady… currently have 5 cats, but that will be going down to 3 in May when my bff moves back to NZ. What else? I’m newly an #NTEU delegate :solidarity: and have a lot of big feelings about how to make #academia better! Also, am team #neurodiverse :vibing:

"A group of researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT), has succeeded in replacing the classic method of making concrete, which is made of gravel and crushed rock, with rubber from discarded tyres that are suitable for building codes."
