  1. 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."

  3. 🥱🧠 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.

  7. It's a wrap on our Wellington Caves fieldwork and filming about groundwater recharge. I have some superstar colleagues, happy to be filmed. Looking forward to see how all this looks.

  9. 🦠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.

  11. 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.

  13. 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!

  24. What is it like for international students doing PhDs in Australia?

    In this video I sat down with Ranni from Indonesia to hear her experience with her PhD in educational psychology at UNSW.

  26. Historical holes: Beneath the surface, caves hold the key to Australia’s wildfire history

    My colleague @michcampbell recently held a postdoctoral research grant from AINSE. They've just released this 2025 Research Spotlight for early career researcher awardees all about her fire research. I think this is nicely done. If you'd like to know how caves and cave stalagmites can be used to reconstruct records of past fires, here's the article

  27. 🚨 New preprint 🚨

    Hydrology and cave (and cave hydrology!) enthusiasts may enjoy this preprint just posted today for community review in the #EGU journal #HESS. Led by former #UNSW student, Christina Song, with @Andbaker and myself, we looked at recharge thresholds (amount of precipitation needed for recharge to occur in a cave), and how they changed after a fire.

    egusphere.copernicus.org/prepr

    The preprint is open now for community discussion, and will be accepting comments until 23 April.

  28. Postdoctoral position in  climate science at UNSW Sydney

    My colleague Andréa Taschetto and I are recruiting. Please share...

    Are you familiar with climate model simulations? Are you interested in extreme rainfall events: those that generate groundwater recharge? Are you interested in ENSO?

    We are investigating the links between climate drivers such as ENSO, high magnitude rainfall events and groundwater recharge, to help understand how climate drivers affect our groundwater resources.

  29. Great #PostDoc opportunity at #UNSW - the successful applicant will use climate model simulations to investigate the climate processes that lead to relationships between climate state, rainfall intensity, and groundwater recharge.
