I hope that the consultation process encourages the @arc-gov-au.bsky.social to allow an additional attempt for ECRs that used the final round of the DECRA as their 2nd attempt rather than waiting. Like many others, I was encouraged to apply in case the proposed schemes were no longer suitable.

The ARC has released their new set of grant schemes ▶️ www.arc.gov.au/news-and-pub... Before implementing them, they’re now going to “consult with the sector”. Hopefully genuinely, not just with a few disengaged DVCRs. In the meantime, there’ll be another round of Discovery Projects (DP28).

What happens when you put a bunch of dead grass out in a rangeland? Our study shows that it creates termites, leading to more critters eating them, demonstrating the importance of dead-vegetation pulses in shaping energy fluxes in desert ecosystems. doi.org/10.1007/s100... #wildoz #rangeland

Termites contribute up to 2% of total annual methane emissions through their farts, but have you ever wondered how accurate that number is and what happens to the methane when they fart in their house? Check out this new paper led by Dr Abbey Yatsko for all the answers: doi.org/10.1111/gcb....
