If you want to hear more about Witt's collaborative, abolition focused work, you can revisit our show from the 28th of February featuring Witt Gorrie and Beyond Bricks and Bars steering committee members Kate and Gia in conversation with Priya.Keep up this important work and show your support by coming down to Parliament House next Saturday the 26th April at 11:30am for the Trans Liberation Counter Protest. Bring along your p2/n95 face masks, friends, family and noisemakers!// The Nightmare Sequence//Omar Sakr and Safdar Ahmed spoke with Priya about their new collaborative work The Nightmare Sequence, which is out now with the University of Queensland Press (all author royalties donated to Palestinian charities). The Nightmare Sequence, featuring poetry by Omar and illustrations by Safdar, is a searing response to the atrocities committed by Israel and its allies in Gaza and beyond since October 2023. Born of collective suffering and despair, the book interrogates the position of witness: the terrible and helpless distance of vision, the impact of being exposed to violence of this scale on a daily basis, and what it means to live in a society that is actively participating in the catastrophic destruction of Arabs and Muslims overseas.  Omar is a poet and writer born in Western Sydney to Lebanese and Turkish Muslim migrants. He is the acclaimed author of the novel Son of Sin and three poetry collections, including The Lost Arabs, which won the 2020 Prime Minister's Literary Award for Poetry. Safdar Ahmed is an award-winning artist, writer, musician and cultural worker. His graphic novel Still Alive won the Multicultural NSW Award and was named Book of the Year in the 2022 NSW Premier's Literary Awards. Safdar is a founding member of the Refugee Art Project and a member of eleven, a collective of contemporary Muslim Australian artists, curators and writers.// Autism Supports for Comfort, Care and Connection//Prof Deborah Lupton joins us to discuss the new autistic-led project, Autism Supports for Comfort, Care and Connection with the Project Lead, Dr Megan Rose and illustrator Sarah Firth. The project reveals the everyday and creative ways autistic adults use objects, services, and creatures to support their wellbeing. Published by the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making & Society at UNSW, the project provides beautiful illustrations and rich inner worlds of Autistic adults about the supports that help them, special interests that fill them up, and challenges they face. The illustration published with this week's episode has been used with permission from the project team.// Renters' Federal Election Priorities//Bernie Barrett, Acting CEO of Better Renting, unpacks what's on the table for renters in the major parties' housing policy platforms announced last weekend. Bernie also speaks about Better Renting's Renter's Election pledge, and what it means to think about renters in so-called australia as a voting bloc.

In this episode of the Technology & Security podcast, host Dr. Miah Hammond-Errey is joined by Dr Thom Dixon, whose work explores biofutures and the bioeconomy. We explore what synthetic biology and bioinformation are and how much of an individual person's information signature is biological. We discuss how AI can learn from biomimicry and adaptive natural biological systems. We explore the future of surveillance plants and how sensing in the environment will operate and what it might mean for national and physical security as well as how a future consumer synthetic biology app will accelerate the fields growth and reach.The conversation covers Australian biodiversity and potential for functionally useful genetic traits to adapt to climate change as well as role of synthetic biology in climate adaptation and accounting, such as carbon cycling and increasing carbon uptake. This episode includes a quick look at some security threats, including the pervasiveness of DNA data collection (and inability to protect DNA instances), role of AI in mediating information and its potential in influence and interference campaigns. Finally, we discuss the need for policy makers to better understand biology. As we see an increase in cyber-physical (and environmental) systems, policy makers need to improve their understanding of biology and how it interacts with technology.  Thom Dixon completed his PhD at Macquarie University. It explores the development of and use of bioinformation and synthetic biology can impact international relations. He was the Vice President for the Australian Institute of International Affairs NSW. He is a member of the ARC Centre for Excellence for Synthetic Biology and the manager, national security and defence for Macquarie University. Resources mentioned in the recording: + Model's of Life: https://defencescienceinstitute.com/funding-opportunity/darpa-biological-technologies-hr001124s0034/+ The Substack: https://biofuturesinstantiated.substack.com/ This podcast was recorded on the lands of the Gadigal people, and we pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.

 CLIMATE ACTION RADIO SHOWProduced by Vivien LangfordMAY 20TH 2024"O Artifical Saviour" Re- broadcast by permision of Radio EcoShock. You can tune in to Radio Ecoshock every Sunday 6am at 3CR or get it here: https://www.ecoshock.org/EXTREME HEAT 2023 – THE FULL STORYSarah Perkins-KirkpatrickIn 2023, extreme heat waves rolled across Earth's surface so fast and so long – who can remember? In some places heat up to 9 degrees C or 16 Fahrenheit hotter than normal.  Summer-level heat waves struck in winter, again in spring, followed by simply astounding heat on every continent but Australia.  Twenty twenty three wasn't just the hottest year ever recorded.  It was a year when forests burned, cities cooked, and crops died.Let's patch together the heat headlines, including many you did not see.  Our guest Sarah Perkins-Kirkpatrick led an international team of scientists, publishing their global overview paper “Extreme terrestrial heat in 2023”.Dr. Perkins-Kirkpatrick is with the Fenner School of Environment and Society, Australian National University, in Canberra – and the ARC Centre of Excellence for 21st Century Weather at Australian National University. EARTH AT RISKCharles (“Chip”) Fletcher“The climate crisis is now well underway”That is according to a group of well-known scientists.  Their big picture overview was just published in a PNAS paper titled “Earth at risk: An urgent call to end the age of destruction and forge a just and sustainable future”.  Is it really that bad? Is there any way out of a hot-house disaster?From the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology, University of Hawaii at Manoa, we have reached scientist and interim Dean, Dr. Charles Fletcher, often known as “Chip”.  “Propelled by imperialism, extractive capitalism, and a surging population, we are speeding past Earth's material limits, destroying critical ecosystems, and triggering irreversible changes in biophysical systems that underpin the Holocene climatic stability which fostered human civilization.”– from “Earth at Risk” AbstractAs Canadian author Leslie A. Davidson said:  “We are not lost, we are going in the wrong direction.”  We know a lot of what to do about climate change, but we continue on the wrong path – toward a world 3 degrees C hotter or worse.  As the paper says: “Global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions set a new record in 2023, rising an estimated 1.1%, the third annual increase in a row since the COVID-19 recession.”Several co-authors of this “Earth at risk” paper will be familiar to Radio Ecoshock listeners as guests.  Beyond William Ripple, originator of the Second Scientists' Warning, we find famous scientist  Michael Mann, science historian Naomi Oreskes, British climate advisor David King and one of my favorite experts on how heat kills, Camilo Mora from the University of Hawaii.This team writes: “The authors of this review believe that humanity stands at an inflection point in human history that will determine many characteristics of future life on Earth.”

This is the fourth part in a series on artificial intelligence in medicine and we try and unpick the causes and consequences of adverse events resulting from this technology. Our guest David Lyell is a research fellow at the Australian Institute of Health Innovation (Macquarie University) who has published a first-of-its kind audit of adverse events reported to the US regulator, the Federal Drugs Administration. He breaks down those that were caused by errors in the machine learning algorithm, other aspects of a device or even user error.   We also discuss where these all fit in to the four stages of human information processing, and whether this can inform determinations about liability. Uncertainty around the medicolegal aspects of AI-assisted care is of the main reasons that practitioners report discomfort about the use of this technology. It's a question that hasn't been well tested yet in the courts, though according to academic lawyer Rita Matulonyte, AI-enhanced devices don't change the scope of care that has been expected of practitioners in the past. Guests>Rita Matuolynte PhD (Macquarie Law School, Macquarie University; ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision Making and Society; MQ Research Centre for Agency, Values and Ethics)>David Lyell PhD (Australian Institute of Health Innovation, Macquarie University; owner Future Echoes Business Solutions) ProductionProduced by Mic Cavazzini DPhil.

For much of the 20th century Bell Labs was a nursery of ambitious research, helping to usher in the information age with practical innovations including the transistor, lasers and photovoltaics.  Prof. Ben Eggleton is one Bell Labs alumni who has continued its culture of applied innovation, and the Eggleton Lab at the University of Sydney is now known as a global leader in optical physics, photonic computing, sensors and microwave signal processing. Ben's ability to bridge the gap between fundamental science and tangible technology is one of the factors that has seen Prof. Eggleton and his collages awarded sought after research grants including an ARC Centre of Excellence and multiple Laureate Fellowships, as well as awards including a Eureka Prize, and Ben's election to the Australian Academy of Science in 2016. Today Prof. Eggleton continues to lead his research team, is co-director of the NSW Smart Sensing Network, and has recently taken up the post of Pro-vice chancellor (Research) at the University of Sydney where he is now responsible for shaping research policy at this world-class academic institution. Join us to hear Ben's take on forging a career in applied research.   GUEST : Prof. Ben Eggleton https://www.linkedin.com/in/benjamin-eggleton-4250127 EGGLETON LAB : https://eggleton-group.sydney.edu.au/ UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY : https://www.sydney.edu.au/ NSSN : https://www.nssn.org.au/ EON LABS :  https://www.eonlabs.org/ HOST : Dr. Leo Stevens https://www.linkedin.com/in/leostevensinc/ MUSIC : Purple Planet Music https://www.purple-planet.com Mixed by Dr. Nat Harris

Even if the body and pain is complex, the strategies we can use to recover from pain doesn't have to be! We're going on a “Magic School Bus” ride (cue 1994 PBS nostalgia) to our cellular systems on the nanomolecular level. Jump to 34:40 for simple biohacks to reset a hypersensitive biological system that happens during chronic pain. “Change is inevitable, how you change is not.” Huge things are possible when we know how our body works and actively use that knowledge to make changes to our cellular systems. Mark reminds us that without trust, transformation in finding relief from chronic pain is really hard. Professor Mark Hutchinson is the Director of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Nanoscale BioPhotonics (CNBP), an Australian Research Council Future Fellow, a Professor within the Adelaide Medical School at the University of Adelaide, and President of Science and Technology Australia, the peak body in Australia that represents 90,000 scientists. Mark explores the “other brain” and has pioneered research which has led to the discovery of novel drug activity at innate immune receptors. We cover topics like: Why we experience pain Strategies that speak the same language as our cellular systems Why our cells remember pain We have hundreds of cellular systems that turn on and off hundreds of switches in our body to stay in control and keep us safe. These switches determine why, when, and how much pain we experience in response to stimuli. When we feel a feather against our skin or step on a Lego, we're experiencing nociception. Over time, our baseline of what turns these switches on and off becomes more sensitive, resulting in hypernociception and allodynia that are caused from stimuli that normally wouldn't cause pain, but now does. Strategies that work with how our cellular systems function include: Eating well (eating plants borrows their defense mechanisms!) Going on a walk outside Playing in nature Having deep meaningful conversations (talking actually changes the structure of the central nervous system) Creating a positive and supportive environment Drinking hydrogenated water Mindfulness practices, “thinking well” breathing practices like Wim Hof supercharges your immune response and resilience When exploring strategies, your mindset matters! Having an expectation that the strategies can work influences the outcomes. It's critical to have a positive mindset that you can shift your pain, even it's only by a little bit.

"If we keep emitting green house gases, we keep warming the planet. If we reduce our emissions by 50% next year, that't not going to happen, but hypothetically if we did, we would still be warming the planet. We need to go right down to net zero to stop warming the planet."Today's conversation is with climate researcher Dr Andrew King. Andrew is a senior lecturer in Climate Science at the School of Geography, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences and ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes at the University of Melbourne. Dr King's work has been cited hundreds of times and his research has also been published in top journals like nature.

Usually, Still Spoken is about how your data lives on through technology after you die. But how do you live in technology before you're able to form your own digital footprint, perhaps before you're even born? When I was writing one of the final chapters All the Ghosts in the Machine: The Digital Afterlife of Your Personal Data, I ended up in an unexpected place: thinking about how I'd created a digital reflection for my own child that would eventually form part of her digital legacy. These days, there's data generated, mined, and monetised about us from digital gestation to digital afterlife and everywhere in between. What are some of the ways that happens? So in this episode we're looking the other end of identity, and there's no one better to do that with than Tama Leaver, a Professor of Internet Studies at Curtin University in Perth, Western Australia; the President of the Association of Internet Researchers (AoIR); a regular media commentator; and a Chief Investigator in the ARC Centre of Excellence for the Digital Child.This episode is a preview of host Elaine Kasket's upcoming book, provisionally titled This is Your Life on Tech (2023)- a technopsychosocial exploration of the human life span, looking at how technology is the third force in almost all the relationships we have across our lifetimes.

Einstein dreamt of a Universe in which space and time were curved by matter, and how black holes would represent the ultimate manifestations of his physics, and the possibility of a new type of radiation - gravitational waves. Sadly he died before the discovery of black holes and neutron stars, and so he was unable to witness many of the dramatic experimental confirmations of his theory.In this lecture the Director of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery (OzGrav), Professor Matthew Bailes will use Mixed Reality Technologies to demonstrate how scientists have used telescopes and gravitational wave detectors to explore Einstein's universe, and provide astonishing confirmations of his theories using observations of neutron stars and black holes. Presented 19 October 2021.

Global semiconductor industry sales top $400 billion; China has called chip independence a top national priority in its latest five-year plan; and U.S. President Joe Biden has vowed to build a secure American supply chain by reviving domestic manufacturing. Even the European Union is mulling measures to make its own chips.Given our increasing dependence on semi-conductors in everything from cars and ATMS to phones and household appliances, what can Australia do to guarantee supply? Today we talk to Mike Nicholls, an entrepreneur, inventor and technologist, and a fund expert at helping start-ups generate their early customer leads, and opportunities; and Monash University's Professor Michael Fuhrer, the director of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Future Low-Energy Electronics Technologies (FLEET), and a researcher in novel two-dimensional materials, semiconductors, metals, and superconductors about Australia's opportunities – and threats – within the industry.

Today I am excited to welcome a scientist and marine conservation specialist Dr Tessa Hempson. She is an ecologist, a coral reefs specialist, and a writer. She studied botany and zoology, conservation biology, and worked extensively across Africa. Today she is the Principal Scientist and Program Manager of Oceans Without Borders and at the same time an Adjunct Researcher at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies at James Cook University in Australia.    During her PhD studies in coral ecology, Tessa even worked as a helicopter underwater evacuation instructor ​​for the Australian Defence Force. She told us about this extraordinary experience and what she learned from it.   We reflected on last year's challenges, especially those regarding connection with the community, which is crucial for Tessa's work. She emphasized the importance of building strong local capacities and shared how special it was to return to Africa after the lockdown.    Tessa took us back to her childhood, the experience of growing up in nature, and the moment she realized that studying oceans is her call.    In the ocean space, little things civilians can do to preserve nature can really make a difference. There are so many simple things we do in our daily lives, choices we make about tiny things that can make a huge impact. For example, reducing plastic usage, recycling, and being informed where our food comes from. Every time we spend money, we are creating a statement on creating consumer demand. So if we demand local products, we are directly impacting the amounts of carbon in the atmosphere. And there is, of course, voting and making your voice heard in the political space.   Tessa shared her views on seafood consumption in western, privileged societies where there is a choice. Her advice is to get informed, eat less, and try to eat those lower species on the food chain, such as sardine, instead of predators such as tuna.    She told us about her life-changing experience of diving deep into the ocean in the Mozambique area, but also the terrifying one of witnessing the coral bleaching.   A lot of environmental problems come from ignorance, and that is something we can deal with. Tessa is sure that there is always hope and that we have the power to make the change.  Key Takeaways:   Introducing (00:23) Experience of working as a helicopter underwater evacuation instructor (02:20) Over the past year, who would you have loved to have had coffee with and why?

A close relative of the manatee found in the Indo-Pacific, dugongs are a hit for tourists and an important part of coastal marine ecosystems. But between climate change, harmful fishing practices, and a host of other issues, dugongs are under threat. Today, we'll dive into the challenges facing dugongs, why dugongs matter, and what we can do to protect them. With special guest Dr. Alana Grech: Assistant Director of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies at James Cook University. The Sweaty Penguin is presented by Peril and Promise: a public media initiative from The WNET Group in New York, reporting on the issues and solutions around climate change.

As we build a clean energy future, solar energy research is diversifying. This is one of the focuses of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Exciton Science, a collaboration between Australian unis and industry that explores how light interacts with advanced materials. In particular, they study Excitons, an excited state of matter that is crucial to semiconductors, which are used in light-based applications from lasers to solar cells. One group within the ARC is working on building better solar panels. Right now, typical silicon solar cells only capture about 30% of the energy that lands on them. So part of this group's research is trying to identify cheaper and more efficient materials to make these cells. Today we talk to Carl Belle, the lead researcher with a team at RMIT University and the ARC Centre of Excellence in Exciton Science in Melbourne. He is trying to find new candidate materials with these cells using an interesting approach: machine learning. Today's interview is hosted by Cosmos journalist Lauren Fuge.Find the science of everything at the Cosmos Magazine website Register to watch the SCINEMA International Science Film FestivalSubscribe to Cosmos Magazine (print) or the Cosmos WeeklyWatch and listen to all our Cosmos Briefings

Click here to buy my book Injured to Elite on Amazon!This episode will totally change your view on both the science of pain and on our brain itself! Today I am joined by one of the leading world expert on Pain Science, Dr.Mark  Hutchinson who is a Professor within the Adelaide Medical School and is the Director of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Nanoscale BioPhotonics in Australia. His leading work on immunology of the brain and pain science has now discovered that our thoughts and emotions have an actual effect on our immunity and overall health. These so-called pattern recognition receptors and other molecules might just be the interface between our thoughts and actual immune response. This episode can be thought of as the science which is bringing serious western "clout" to eastern medicine. Special shout out to Dan O'Brien Director of Sport Medicine and Research at the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) in New York who connected Dr.Hutchinson and I. You can kind of think of this episode as East Meets West medicine. Many of the things in this episode shared can not only impact your journey after injury but also help boost your immune system during these times as we continue our fight against the coronavirus.

Liking the show?Leave us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts here!Support us directly on Pozible! Australian Premiere ‘What were you doing while the planet was burning?' This is the question posed by The Hottest August, offering fascinating perspectives from a broad range of everyday New Yorkers – from the optimists to deniers, through to the futurists. Billed as the ‘Humans of New York' approach to a climate change filmmaking, The Hottest August explores the different ways people respond to living in the age of climate anxiety, confronted by an endless stream of dire statistics, terrifying images and a ticking clock. Filmed every day over the course of a month, this film captures lived realities – job insecurity, racialised violence, gentrification, disaster recovery, fears of technology – all compounding and compounded by how we deal with the rapidly changing world around us. Presented as a poetic artefact, The Hottest August offers a refreshingly lucid look at the backdrop to our ecological crisis. As hypnotically beautiful as it is haunting, this film is about our future from the perspective of the present. This film will screen with a short film made by Community Grocers thanks to EFFA's Community Storytelling Project, made possible with the support of Bank Australia. Mark Spencer - Founder and Journalist, Climatic PodcastThis session will be hosted by Mark Spencer, the founder of Climactic, a podcasting collective dedicated to telling stories from the climate community.
