Those uppity clerks are getting out of control again.

Macquarie University: Turning over a new leaf: Macquarie’s rare plant collection goes digital . “A new Atlas of Living Australia grant will help digitise 16,000 plant specimens at Macquarie University, filling critical gaps in national biodiversity data and making rare species records accessible to researchers worldwide.”

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.

Dr Edith Johnston's international academic career took her from school in #Belfast to MA PhD
#UnivofStAndrews to jobs at Sheffield #UniSheffield and #MacquarieUniversity
(and visiting fellowships in N America), then back to Ireland

She was the first St Andrews woman PhD historian (that we know of) to successfully pursue an academic career - and so we celebrate her this #WomensHistoryMonth #histodons

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.
