🕷️ An international team of researchers, which included #MacquarieUniversity, have discovered a remarkable new spider species in the rainforest of north Queensland that spins an ingenious and powerful spring-actuated snare to catch a single species of ant – one ant at a time – in what they describe as “the ultimate specialisation”. Nicknamed the ballista spider after the ancient Roman weapon that used a spring to launch a bolt or stone, the small nocturnal spider has apparently evolved a unique web mechanism to trap only the highly territorial and aggressive green tree ant Oecophylla smaragdina.

Folks who are gonna be in
#Sydney in about a month (21 Sept.) ... we're hosting our huge annual Astronomy Open Night on campus (Macquarie Uni.) which is a fun-filled family night where you can look through telescopes, do science experiments, hear talks and more!

https://event.mq.edu.au/astronomy-open-night/

I'll be giving a short talk titled 'Evil Astrophysics – Using Pulsars as a Supervillain', blending astrophysics, Sci-Fi and comics!

Lots of other great talks from our team as well: https://event.mq.edu.au/astronomy-open-night/short-talks

And plenty of activities to do: https://event.mq.edu.au/astronomy-open-night/activities

It's always a really fun night, and young folks love it as they get to look through telescopes, do laser graffiti, participate in physics experiments and hear from some of Australia's best scientists! We get about 2000 people attending annually..

Def. recommend bringing the fam to this!

Astronomers used to pack up their telescopes when the sun came up, but researchers at Macquarie University have developed a new technique for observing celestial objects during the day.

The Huntsman Telescope could allow around-the-clock visual monitoring of satellites, which would significantly improve safety on Earth and in space.

In a positive outlook for 2024, #universities across #Canada are introducing more #PlantBased or #vegan food options. Many of the universities have stated this is due to ongoing demand from students for more variety - and a larger push for more sustainable practices.

A number of universities are taking the lead, notably:

-#WesternUniversity. The university set a goal of having a 40 per cent plant-based menu at all dining halls by the new year, but it hit the target — and at some points even surpassed it — this year. A fully vegan outlet will open in 2024, and the school wants to reach a 50 per cent target in 2025.
-#TheUniversityOfBritishColumbia. 55 per cent of the food in dining halls is plant-based, and the Vancouver school hopes to reach a goal of 80 per cent by 2025.
-#ConcordiaUniversity in Montreal plans to reduce its purchase of meat, dairy and eggs by 30 per cent.
-#DalhousieUniversity in Halifax aims to offer a menu with at least 50 per cent plant-based food options by 2030.
-#UniversityOfToronto. Plant-based options represented less than half of the universities food services offerings two years ago, but now account for 61 per cent.

Vegan Australia is advocating for Australian universities* to gain inspiration from these progressive examples, and embrace a fully vegan food system for the benefit of the planet, humanity, and for the animals.
