ANU vice-chancellor resigns after months of controversy Genevieve Bell has bowed to intense pressure and resigned from her position as Australian National University vice-chancellor.

Bishop needs to go as well. There is no sensible governance arrangement where she gets to lead appointing a new VC. A new Chancellor / Chair and then a deep breath followed by a proper process to appoint a new VC / CEO needed. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

Conference registration and abstract submission are now open for our 2025 Conference in Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland! Learn more at www.australasianhumanbiology.com/conferences....

Academic labels Julie Bishop ‘hostile and arrogant’ in tearful evidence to ANU inquiry Liz Allen alleged she was ‘bullied into near suicide’ at the institution

Completely untenable. No leadership just inexcusable behaviour www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Unfortunately, some cuts are necessary. But there is an opportunity we can't miss This college is beloved and I want it to thrive.

The @ourANU Dean of CASS has cited a $250m operational deficit as justification for cuts.

However, Renew ANU was based on a $200m deficit. And that was wrong - it was really $140m.

@NTEUnion has no confidence that ANU is across the numbers.

Absolutely stoked to learn I've been promoted to Senior Lecturer at the ANU from 2025! It's taken a lot of hard work and the help of lots of amazing supporters. Huge thanks to all the folk who have encouraged, advised, listened to rants, and generally been awesome along the journey so far ⭐😍🥰

Very excited (and a bit nervous) to announce that I will be hiring two Postdocs for my new group(!) in Copenhagen to study the Neanderthal and Denisovan DNA which survives in present-day humans. Retweet will be much appreciated :)
