Renowned environmental scientist, Professor Emma Johnston AO, the co-chief author of the 2021 Australian State of Environment Report and the University's Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) is joined by her co-authors to discuss key findings of the report and what is in store for our environment and wellbeing. The extreme weather events from the past few years have shown that our future depends on healthy rivers, forests, soils and seas, which is why it is crucial to understand exactly what is at stake. The State of the Environment (SOE) report, a five-yearly independent review, commissioned by the Australian Government, is a critical piece in the puzzle. Its independent analysis from a team of scientific experts, offers a clear framework on how to address the myriad environmental issues we face and the projected future of our environment. Professor Johnston is one of Australia's most distinguished environmental scientists, an elected fellow of both the Australian Academy of Science (AAS) and the Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering (ATSE). She also co-hosts the television series, Coast Australia, exploring the country's coastline. Also joining the conversation will be SOE co-authors Dr Terri Janke, a Wuthathi/Meriam woman and an international authority on Indigenous cultural and intellectual property; the chair of the Western Australian Biodiversity Science Institute, leading environmental scientist, Dr Ian Cresswell; and Dr Sarah Hill, CEO of the Western Parkland City Authority. Moderated by Sydney Ideas Head of Programming, Fenella Kernebone. The 2021 SOE report is the first to include Indigenous co-authors and is the first to have a chapter explicitly  focused on Extreme Events (bushfires, floods, heatwaves, droughts, storms).

Big and Little Histories: Sizing Up Ethics in Historiography (Routledge, 2021) introduces students to ethics in historiography through an exploration of how historians in different times and places have explained how history ought to be written and how those views relate to different understandings of ethics. No two histories are the same. The book argues that this is a good thing because the differences between histories are largely a matter of ethics. Looking to histories made across the world and from ancient times until today, readers are introduced to a wide variety of approaches to the ethics of history, including well-known ethical approaches, such as the virtue ethics of universal historians, and utilitarian approaches to collective biography writing while also discovering new and emerging ideas in the ethics of history. Through these approaches, readers are encouraged to challenge their ideas about whether humans are separate from other living and non-living things and whether machines and animals can write histories. The book looks to the fundamental questions posed about the nature of history making by Indigenous history makers and asks whether the ethics at play in the global variety of histories might be better appreciated in professional codes of conduct and approaches to research ethics management. Opening up the topic of ethics to show how historians might have viewed ethics differently in the past, the book requires no background in ethics or history theory and is open to all of those with an interest in how we think about good histories. Marnie Hughes-Warrington is Deputy-Vice Chancellor Research and Enterprise at the University of South Australia and Visitor at the School of History, Australian National University, Australia. She is the author of several historiography texts, including Fifty Key Thinkers on History (three editions), History Goes to the Movies (2007) and History as Wonder (2018). Anne Martin is Director of the Tjabal Indigenous Higher Education Centre at the Australian National University, Australia.

Episode 156 of the Business Bookshelf podcast - Dr Tshilidzi Marwala - author of "Leadership Lessons From Books I Have Read". Tshilidzi Marwala is currently the Deputy Vice Chancellor: Research and Internationalisation at the University of Johannesburg. He has published 9 books (one has been translated into Chinese), over 280 refereed papers and holds three international patents. He is an associate editor of the International Journal of Systems Science (Taylor and Francis Publishers) and has been a reviewer for more than 40 ISI journals. He has been a visiting scholar at Harvard University, University of California at Berkeley, Wolfson College-University of Cambridge and Nanjing Tech University. He has received more than 45 awards including the Order of Mapungubwe. His writings and opinions have appeared in the New Scientist, The Economist and Time Magazine. In “Leadership Lessons From Books I Have Read” Tshilidzi adopts the thesis that the source of good leadership is knowledge, and the source of knowledge is experience, which can take many forms – reading widely, listening, and engaging in discussion and debate with other knowledge seekers. If leadership is derived from knowledge and knowledge is derived from experience, the ‘experience' in this book is from 50 books that Tshilidzi has read, and so the source of knowledge informing leadership is the collective experience of the more than 50 accomplished authors who wrote those books The book can be purchased here - https://amzn.to/3Aj84S8. Dr Tshilidzi Marwala has a Wikipedia which can be found here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tshilidzi_Marwala.

Welcome to another episode of The Words Matter Podcast.In this episode I speak with Steven Vogel. Steven is Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) at the University College of Osteopathy  and Editor in Chief of the International Journal of Osteopathic Medicine.He has twice been a member of National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) Guideline Development Groups formulating NICE clinical guidelines for back pain and sciatica.Steven led the large Clinical Risk Osteopathy and Management (CROaM) study which examined adverse events and outcomes related to osteopathic interventions.His main research interests focus on back pain, clinicians' beliefs and attitudes and more recently, reassurance, communication and consent, safety and manual therapy, patient reported outcomes, self-management rehabilitation strategies used in practice with people with low back pain, and the effects of cognitive and affective reassurance.In this episode we talk about: What constitutive ethical and professionally agnostic musculoskeletal care (see Steve's paper here). The early research into psychology of LBP, of which he was a crucial part (see here here and here). The cyclical nature of current arguments (hands on/of/psycho/manipulation etc). The different levels (fizzy drink scale) of psychologically-informed practice, and the psychological processes involved in clinical practice. The challenges of developing these skills in clinicians, and the questions up for debate such as 'what does it mean to be BPS orientated' and 'what sorts of training bests develops those competencies'? The frequent situation where psychological interventions have high face validity, make sense to us an clinicians but show small effect sizes when clinically trialled. We talk about his seminal 2013 systematic review work on cognitive and affective reassurance. Signs of progress and lack of progress of for PIP The challenge of measuring BPS-ness and the empirical actions and observable behaviours associated with such a clinical orientation. Steven is is perhaps the most measured, rational and composed individual I know. He remains totally zen even when being faced with some the highest intellectual dishonesty in the manual-physical-osteopathy spheres.It was an absolute pleasure speaking with Steve about his seminal work as a pioneer of psychologically-informed musculoskeletal care, and reflect on how far we have come and how much further we have still to go.Find Steven on Twitter @UCODVC_ResearchIf you liked the podcast, you'll love the Words Matter online course in effective language and communication when managing back pain - ideal for all MSK therapists and students (discounts for students available)Follow Words Matter on:Instagram @Wordsmatter_education @TheWordsMatterPodcastTwitter @WordsClinicalFacebook Words Matter - Improving Clinical Communication★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Listen to the first, officially ‘UNCLASSIFIED', episode of Research for What? .A few weeks ago, I launched ‘Research for What?' to discuss why we do research. This week's episode is special as I learn about defence research and innovation with Dr David Kershaw, Chief Science Engagement and Impact Division, Defence Science and Technology (DST), an agency of the Australian Department of Defence.I asked naive questions to David who spoke very openly about defence research, its role and impact. David talks about the unique structure and objectives to support the Australian Defence Force and guard Australia's security needs. Unlike for academic research, the goals of defence research are not to publish papers or to competitively expand our knowledge base. Nonetheless, defence research surprisingly shares many similarities with civilian research and innovation, collaboration and impact are also essential elements. DST recently launched ‘More, together: the Science and Technology 2030 Strategy for Defence'. DST works closely with Australian government agencies such as CSIRO and ANSTO, and is looking to establish new partnerships with civilian researchers, including in academia. The appointment of Professor Tanya Monroe, previously Deputy Vice Chancellor Research and Innovation at the University of South Australia, as Chief Defence Scientist in 2019, further demonstrates the overlap and bridges between defence and academic research. David explains how and why collaborations between defence, academia and industry can create win-wins for everyone involved, benefits for Australia and impact globally. Learning about all aspects of research and researchers is exactly the goal of ‘Research for What?' - this episode shows an unfamiliar, yet extremely important and impactful, side of research.Listen on Apple Podcasts or on Spotify!

Professor Jennifer Martin, AC is an internationally renowned protein crystallographer and structural biologist, whose significant contributions to these fields and advocacy in the area of gender equality in STEMM has recently seen her awarded a Companion of the Order of Australia. A founding member of the SAGE Steering Committee, that established the Athena SWAN pilot program, Jennifer was the Director of the Griffith Institute for Drug Discovery at Griffith University when interviewed. She has recently been recruited to the position of Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research and Innovation) at the University of Wollongong. Jennifer is also the current President of the Asian Crystallographic Association and a member of the International Union of Crystallography Executive Committee, an elected Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science. Engaged with questions of antibiotic resistance and the possibilities of disabling rather than killing bacteria, Jennifer’s work is of critical significance internationally, as the antibiotics developed in the 1940s are increasingly unable to effectively treat infections caused by pathogenic superbugs. In the podcast, Jennifer reflects on her career successes, attributing much of this success to the networks and relationships she has cultivated throughout her career. Jennifer also explains the importance of knowing yourself and your own needs in the podcast, in order to use your time and energy most effectively. Acknowledging that gender inequality continues in the academy, in the video Jennifer offers an explanation as to why this inequality is so entrenched; she also explains her strategies for exerting influence in order to effect change.

The development of Artificial Intelligence is being seen as one of the biggest threats to jobs this century. Yet it's a technology that can also help humanity hugely and is forecast to increase global economic growth. So should we be afraid of AI - or should we embrace a future where machines could become as intelligent as humans? In the Balance brings together some of the top thinkers in the debate to ask whether AI is our friend or our enemy.
