Autism spectrum disorders once affected 1 in 2000 individuals, now touches the lives of 1 in 50. This remarkable change underscores the urgency to understand this complex neurodevelopmental disorder and the ways it intertwines with the universal journey of parenting.In this episode we explore the world of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and delve into the broader landscape of parent-child interactions, their profound impact on brain development. Joining us is the esteemed Professor Andrew Whitehouse, who guides us through the intricate science of ASD and the delicate ways that parent-child connections shape the mind, especially in children with autism. He also delves into the essential truth that parenting is not merely an instinctive act but a skill that must be learned, nurtured, and refined. His wisdom extends beyond autism, offering valuable lessons and practical guidance for all parents. Professor Whitehouse emphasizes the importance of time, space, and attention in the parenting process. He shares insightful strategies for creating a nurturing environment, fostering positive interactions, and enhancing both cognitive and emotional development. His wisdom extends beyond autism, offering valuable lessons and practical guidance for all parents, regardless of their child's neurodevelopmental status.We explore how dedicating time to understand a child's unique needs, creating space for growth and exploration, and paying attention to the subtle cues of development can unlock the doors to thriving minds.This inspiring episode is a journey through the science of connection, love, and the incredible potential of the human brain. Whether you are a parent, caregiver, educator, or simply interested in the transformative power of relationships, tune in to discover how to cultivate the art of parenting and shape the minds of the next generation.Professor Andrew Whitehouse is the Angela Wright Bennett Professor of Autism Research at the Telethon Kids Institute and Professor of Autism Research at The University of Western Australia. He is also Director of CliniKids, Research Strategy Director of the Cooperative Research Centre for Living with Autism (Autism CRC) and Adjunct Professor at Curtin University and Edith Cowan University. Andrew is the current President of the Australasian Society for Autism Research.At the Telethon Kids Institute he leads a large team of clinicians and researchers whose goal is to support young children and their families to reach their full potential through the development and translation of cutting-edge evidence-based practice. Andrew has published over 200 peer-reviewed journal articles and attracted over $60 million in competitive research grants. He currently presents an internationally syndicated video series called '60 Second Science”, which has had over 2 million views. He is an advisor to State and Commonwealth Governments on policies relating to children on the autism spectrum, and he chaired the committee that generated Australia's first national guideline for autism diagnosis.Andrew has published one edited book with his twin-brother (Ben), and a popular science book that examined the science behind some of the myths of pregnancy and child development (Will Mozart Make My Baby Smart?).

As the world strives for net-zero there are many tough questions to solve, but among the toughest is the need to replace the literal foundations of our built environment.  Clare Tubolets is the CEO of SmartCrete, a Cooperative Research Centre that brings together research and industry to tackle the challenge of decarbonising concrete, the ubiquitous and indispensable building material that currently accounts for almost 8% of global CO2 emissions.  Join us as Clare recounts the steep learning curve of the construction sector, and shares how research, policy and industry must adapt in parallel to meet our objectives for the planet.    GUEST : Clare Tubolets https://www.linkedin.com/in/clare-tubolets-09944556/ SMARTCRETE CRC : https://smartcretecrc.com.au/ FOOD AGILITY CRC : https://www.foodagility.com/ 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 

The Cooperative Research Centre for Developing Northern Australia has just announced a four year, $8 million investment into cotton, grain and cattle production in northern Australia.

Soil carbon sequestration seems like a win for everyone: it improves soil quality, removes CO2 from the atmosphere, and provides an additional source of income for farmers via carbon credits. It forms a major part of the federal government's plan to reduce emissions to net zero by 2050, with one official estimate suggesting that up to a fifth of our current yearly emissions could be negated with soil carbon. Is it really possible to put such a huge chunk of our emissions in the soil – and if so, how can we do it? What's holding soil carbon farming back?Today, Cosmos journalist Ellen Phiddian talks to two experts. Louise Kiely is the Director of Carbon Farmers of Australia, and Dr Michael Crawford is CEO at the Cooperative Research Centre for High Performance Soils. Together, they provide an insight into both the science and legislation around carbon sequestration.Find the science of everything at the Cosmos Magazine website Subscribe to Cosmos Magazine (print) or the Cosmos WeeklyWatch and listen to all our Cosmos BriefingsSpecial 10% discount on Cosmos magazine print subscriptions (1 or 2 year), or 1 year Cosmos Weekly subscriptions for Cosmos Briefing podcast listeners!  Use coupon code COSMOSPOD in our shop.

The Federal Government has invested $151.5 million in four new Cooperative Research Centres. They represent very diverse areas. One is for High Performance Soils, one is for Honey Bee Products and one is for Food Agility. But over a third of the money will go to a new iMove CRC which will explore digital and evolving vehicle technologies to help traffic to flow more smoothly. The iMove Centre has already assembled 46 commercial, research and government partners prepared to contribute a further $178 million in cash and in-kind contributions over the grant period of 10 years. The CRC will develop systems that harness the growing amount of real-time information available from cars, trucks, public transport vehicles and even personal smartphones with the aim of smoothing traffic flows, prioritising commercial freight operations and making the best use of the country's multi-billion-dollar road infrastructure. Ian Christensen CEO excelerate Australia, lead of the bid from the iMove CRC joins us on the line to tell us all about it.
