UNSW has announced it's going to open a new campus in Parramatta.
"In a major milestone to strengthen tertiary education in Western Sydney, UNSW Sydney has announced its plan to extend its presence in Parramatta, having just signed a new lease as part of the expansion.
"Over 10 years, more than $65 million will be invested in a multi-faculty campus in Parramatta which will accommodate up to 350 students daily."
"The first offering at the expanded Parramatta location will be in 2027, a Juris Doctor postgraduate program delivered by UNSW’s Law & Justice. The faculty is the highest-ranking Law and Legal Studies program in Sydney, say the QS and Times Higher Education rankings."

🥱🧠 Neuroscientists at #UNSW #Sydney used #MRI scans to show that yawning moves cerebrospinal fluid and venous blood out of the skull. The biological maneuver differs from deep breathing and suggests that yawning helps clear metabolic waste or cool the #brain.

🦠In the six months after COVID-19 infection, children have a higher risk of developing rare and serious heart inflammation, but the COVID vaccine does not have the same effect, according to the largest study of its kind, looking at the health records of almost all UK children (nearly 14 million). 👧🧒
Experts from #MonashUni, #BurnetInstitute #UQ #UNSW, and #KirbyInstitute respond to the report.

Brainwave study sheds light on cause of ‘hearing voices’
A new study led by psychologists from #UNSW Sydney has provided the strongest evidence yet that #auditory verbal #hallucinations – or hearing voices – in #schizophrenia may stem from a disruption in the #brain’s ability to recognise its own inner voice.

It was 'student night' at IAH NSW in Sydney ( and online everywhere).
Thanks to Akhi Kumar, Danyang Sun, Nane Weber and Yaggesh Sharma for presenting their groundwater research.
I might have photobombed the official photo!

Paper publication day is one of my favourite days! Our paper on wildfire ash chemistry is out today and #OpenAccess in the #AGU journal 'Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems.' We analysed the inorganic and organic chemistry of wildfire (and prescribed burn) ashes from 4 karst areas in Australia and found that ash chemistry varies with burn severity and sampling location. Another team effort from #ANSTO, #UNSW, #UWA, #GNSScience colleagues (👋 @Andbaker )

I''m putting a shout out for a public lecture by my favourite Icelandic colleague at UNSW, Pall Thordason. He is speaking at the State Library of NSW in Sydney on the evening of Wednesday 5th June on 'RNA and me', and it looks like it will cover everything from the evolution of RNA to its use in medicine.

If you are interested in the chemical tracers of wildfires, and how those might vary with burn severity, check out our new #preprint https://www.authorea.com/doi/full/10.22541/au.170689252.26414470/v1
We leached wildfire ashes and soils from karst areas, so we can better understand the speleothem palaeofire proxy signal. Another team effort, with co-authors from #UNSW (👋 @Andbaker) #ANSTO, #UWA, and #GNSScience
