POPULARITY
In this EXTRA SPECIAL HOLIDAY SPECTACULAR your intrepid hosts eschew the normal dissection of climate and energy reports and instead, in an exercise of regrettable democratic process, critique a climate movie of YOUR choice, dear Summerupperers.But before we do that, we kick off with the inaugural awarding of our favourite climate and energy paper of 2022. This award, which most-definitely-will-not-be-named-the-Papies, was awarded to… DRUMROLL pleeeeease…..'Empirically grounded technology forecasts and the energy transition' from Rupert Way, Matthew C. Ives, Penny Mealy and J. Doyne Farmer from Oxford University. AKA the learning rates paper! A very worthy recipient of Let Me Sum Up's inaugural NON-Papie! Honourable mentions for our runners up go to Infrastructure Victoria's ‘Towards 2050: Gas Infrastructure in a Net Zero Emissions Economy' and the Commonwealth's ‘Safeguard Mechanism Reforms consultation paper'. And of course you could do a lot worse than hit the back catalogue to hear us discuss these three papers on Episode 11, Episode 5 and Episode 7 respectively!Grabbing the popcorn and maybe some rotten tomatoes, your intrepid hosts settled in to critique the climate movie of your choice for 2022, the satirical comedy ‘Don't Look Up' in which two astronomers go on a media tour to warn humankind of a planet-killing comet hurtling toward Earth. The response from a distracted world: Meh. The response from your intrepid hosts? We're not going to make it that easy for you Summerupperers! We watched so you can listen ;-)Frankie's One More Thing is Noel Pearson's Boyer Lecture for 2022, available as a podcast or on ABC iView, where he discusses constitutional recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, contending this is not a project of identity politics, but one of justice, unity and inclusion.Tennant's One More Thing is a retro fantastic re-reading of a favourite science fiction book by William Gibson, Neuromancer, published in 1984. Go check it out!Luke's One More Thing is a summer movie whodunnit, Glass Onion starring Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc, a charming PI with a southern drawl. Reminiscent of Agatha Christie and also skewering the rich and powerful, this is currently filling Menzel's void of Rian Johnson's missing Star Wars trilogy so give it a watch peeps!We are taking a break in January but will be back with ever more reports to read in Feb 2023. In the meantime, happy holidays to all our wonderful Summerupperers. Please keep tweeting your thoughts to us at @LukeMenzel, @TennantReed and @FrankieMuskovic and if you would like to weave some golden threads through our back catalogue, give us your feelpinions or suggest papers to read we are always here for that - hit us up at mailbag@letmesumup.net.
Have you listened to a new good podcast recently? Eliza recently trawled through the Apple iTunes Top Charts for new content. She found '9/12' which explores how September 11 shaped American culture. It's one of the best things she's ever listened to. Also this week, Geraldine on John Bell's Boyer Lecture series. And a new, dark twist on one of Geraldine's favourite TV shows, Grantchester.

In tribute to the late prominent conservative intellectual, Owen Harries, we're replaying this interview about his 2003 Boyer Lecture series, under the heading, "Benign or Imperial? Reflections on American Hegemony"
Australia doesn’t have a treaty with its indigenous people. We’ve also been slow to acknowledge our history of violent dispossession. Indigenous film-maker Rachel Perkins looks at the Uluru Statement as the way to end the silence on the unfinished business of reconciliation. It calls for Voice, Treaty and Truth.

There are large inequalities in health within and between countries. To explain this we have to look at the social determinants of health—the conditions in which people are born, grow, live work and age; and inequities in power, money and resources.
In this episode we covered the Boyer Lecture 2016 at the ABC with Professor Sir Michael Marmot, marriage plebiscites and other perhaps more financially sound alternatives as well as the inconsistencies of the lock out laws and who they apply to. It was jam packed and that was before my interview with Tamer Morris from Normanhurst Uniting Church who is directing their production of The Importance of Being Earnest. Check it out - all proceeds go to The Dish, a support service feeding the homeless in our local area.

In his second Boyer Lecture, Dr Michael Fullilove examines how the dizzying rise of China has pulled Australia onto a new world stage as a key player, a leap that calls for a serious examination of foreign policy
In the fourth and final lecture Professor Cory highlights the concerning scientific brain drain in this country: "We are losing women from all areas of science and the deficit at senior levels is particularly disturbing."
In the third lecture Professor Suzanne Cory reflects on her other great passion, the environment, and warns that 'humankind is fouling the nest' and that if action is not taken soon, by 2100 Earth will be hotter than any time in the last few million years making mass species extinctions and global human conflicts over energy and water inevitable.
In the second lecture Professor Cory shows how extraordinarily important scientific research and development is for our economy.
In this first lecture Professor Cory reflects on where medical science has come from and where it is heading, drawing out implications for health and the economy.
