FIVE VICE-CHANCELLORS IN VICTORIA PAID MORE THAN $1M IN 2024, PROMPTING CLAIMS OF ‘LARGESSE’

https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/051ed0d3e382dae54ebee0d47fcc6c52dae5a5d0/459_0_3540_2832/master/3540.jpg?width=140&quality=85&auto=format&fit=max&s=bd467b2f524e333b56584a55e1178554

✍️ Despite growing pressure, only three of Victoria's nine vice-chancellors took pay cuts last year, with six others receiving increases or no change.

👉 Six of nine vice-chancellors received pay increases or no change 👉 Three vice-chancellors took pay cuts, including the University of Divinity's Prof James McLaren and La Trobe University's Prof Theo Farrell 👉 The University of Melbourne's Duncan Maskell had the highest salary at $1.5m 👉 The National Tertiary Education Union (NTEU) has criticized the increases, saying they are 'insulting' and 'show university governance is completely broken'

NANO-SCALE DINOSAUR MADE BY AUSTRALIAN RESEARCHERS FROM DNA BUILDING BLOCKS

https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/10ca24441790f7309071f612c78cbb9309b52772/316_270_1248_749/master/1248.png?width=460&quality=85&auto=format&fit=max&s=d4876db3d055993632ca2ca3c67b725c

✍️ Australian researchers have created building blocks out of DNA to construct nano-scale objects and shapes, including a tiny dinosaur.

👉 Researchers created building blocks out of DNA to construct nano-scale objects and shapes 👉 The approach uses DNA origami and synthetic DNA to form 3D building blocks called voxels 👉 Voxels can be joined together to construct more complex shapes and modular objects 👉 The method could be used to make components for robotic boxes or smart materials
