Director's Message
Director’s Message
Dear Colleagues,
Congratulations to the organisers of the Autumn lunch for Women of Physics at ANU. By all accounts it was an enjoyable event with other lunches planned for the other season (see image below).
A reminder that PDRs are due next week. As this is an annual process, recently completed PDRs will need to be reinitiated before May 16th for them to be registered as current. Please also verify the data in Insights and obtain an ORCID number, both very important for our School review later this year.
There are two pics this week. The one above was taken at the School morning tea to celebrate Greg Clark’s Companion of Australia, awarded at Government House the day before. The photo shows three of the four School recipients of the Australia’s highest civilian award (of the time). Reflecting on his diverse career, Greg spoke about the wonderful places a foundation in physics can lead one. He would welcome anyone contacting him if they would like to discuss their own potential career trajectory (gregoryjclark@aol.com).
Have a great week,
Tim |

Recent research shows that female scientists suffer when their research proposals are judged primarily on the strength of their CVs. Gender bias goes away when grant reviewers focus on the science. With many of us currently in the process of reviewing the ARC applications, it is important to educate ourselves on the issue of gender bias. » read more
