Those right-on people with their liberal vibes - Mark Zuckerberg, Sheryl Sandberg, Nick Clegg - are as dangerous to democracy as the Koch brothers. And have a similar business plan.

Great to host a visit from NSW Parliament Member for Holsworthy Mel Gibbons to @Macquarie_Uni to discuss hearing-health services and hearing research. No visit complete without experiencing the immersive anechoic chamber!

I don't see how this has anything to do with hypotheses. The lesson is that data should always be explored and visualized, right?
