Dr Cathy OPke (pictured) was at TEDx Bendigo talking about our Cities: Our Climate Change Antiheroes' and challenging us to reimagine cities as robust climate solutions rather than just sources of emissions. She explained that while national governments debate, cities are becoming command centers for climate action - a role so crucial that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is preparing its first-ever special report focused on cities. Through examples from Bendigo to Singapore, Cathy Oke shows how 13,000 local governments worldwide are already leading bold climate initiatives, often outpacing national action. The future of our climate will be decided in our cities, she argues, and every citizen has a role in this transformation. Dr Cathy Oke OAM is a leading voice in urban sustainability and city leadership, combining 25 years of practical and academic expertise. She serves as Associate Professor in Informed Cities in the Faculty of Architecture Building and Planning and Director of the Melbourne Centre for Cities at the University of Melbourne, while advising the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy on research and innovation.

IntroductionToday I am joined by Dr. John Cook. Dr. Cook is a Senior Research Fellow with the Melbourne Centre for Behaviour Change at the University of Melbourne. He obtained his PhD at the University of Western Australia, studying the cognitive psychology of climate science denial. His research focus is understanding and countering misinformation about climate change.In 2007, he founded Skeptical Science, a website which won the 2011 Australian Museum Eureka Prize for the Advancement of Climate Change Knowledge and the 2016 Friend of the Planet Award from the National Center for Science Education.John authored the book Cranky Uncle vs. Climate Change, which combines climate science, critical thinking, and cartoons to explain and counter climate misinformation. He also co-authored the college textbooks Climate Change: Examining the Facts and Climate Change Science: A Modern Synthesis, as well as the book Climate Change Denial: Heads in the Sand.In 2013, he published a paper finding a 97% scientific consensus on human-caused global warming, a finding that has been highlighted by President Obama and UK Prime Minister David Cameron.LinksJohn Cook: https://findanexpert.unimelb.edu.au/profile/1028119-john-cookCranky Uncle: https://crankyuncle.com/Skeptical Science: https://skepticalscience.com/Timestamps0:00 - Introduction1:32 - Why can't we ignore misinformation?2:50 - What is the difference between misinformation and disinformation?7:20 - How has climate change denial changed over the past 20 years?8:46 - Who are the sources of misinformation?9:41 - Science denial is not a unique challenge12:55 - Cognitive psychology and its importance in tackling climate change17:55 - What are the drivers of belief in climate change misinformation?21:23 - What are the types of climate change misinformation?28:51 - The persuasiveness of purveyors of misinformation31:51 - How can we counter misinformation?42:48 - F.L.I.C.C. - The climate change misinformation taxonomy43:40 - F - Fake experts44:41 - L - Logical fallacies49:37 - I - Impossible expectations54:50 - C - Cherry-picking59:55 - C - Conspiracy theories1:02:28 - Misinformation breakdown - Example 11:08:07 - Misinformation breakdown - Example 21:11:19 - Misinformation breakdown - Example 31:17:22 - Final takeaways

The ability of human pluripotent and somatic stem cells to differentiate into multiple cell types of the human body makes them uniquely useful to model human development and disease. As a result, these cells are shared, edited, and differentiated by laboratories across the world for basic research, clinical translation, and commercial applications. Large and genotypically diverse collections of pluripotent stem cells are being generated to support large cohort-scale research into conditions such as Parkinson's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, among many others. However, information about these cells, their derivatives, and the resulting data can be difficult to track due to a myriad of factors including poor naming practices, siloed datasets, and incomplete information on experimental practices in the published literature. As a result, the ability to maximize the utility of these cells and data from them is limited, and the rigor and reproducibility of the research and its application may be seriously compromised. Our guests today, who were part of the ISSCR Task Force that developed the Standards for the Use of Human Stem Cells in Research, will discuss in detail a framework to manage these issues using stem cell registries. GuestAndreas Kurtz, PhD, Fraunhofer Institute for Biomedical Engineering and the Berlin Institute of Health Center for Regenerative Therapies Christine Wells, PhD, University of Melbourne Centre for Stem Cell Systems HostMartin Pera, Editor-in-Chief, Stem Cell Reports and The Jackson LaboratoryX: @martinperaJAXSupporting ResourcesGuidelines for managing and using the digital phenotypes of pluripotent stem cell lines, Stem Cell ReportsAbout Stem Cell ReportsStem Cell Reports is the open access, peer-reviewed journal of the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) for communicating basic discoveries in stem cell research, in addition to translational and clinical studies.

Prof. Marginson from Oxford University visited Luxembourg this week and spoke with Lisa at length on a variety of topics around education and geopolitics. Sasha Kehoe kicks off the show with the weekly reflection of global news stories. Prof. Marginson joins us with his own perspectives having lived in the U.K. for the last decade, but also having visited New Caledonia, French territory, which is relatively close to his homeland of Australia (closer than France anyhow). Simon Marginson is Professor of Higher Education at the University of Oxford, Director of the ESRC/RE Centre for Global Higher Education (CGHE), Joint Editor-in-Chief of Higher Education, and a Professorial Associate of the Melbourne Centre for Study of Higher Education at the University of Melbourne. Simon's research is focused primarily on global and international higher education, higher education in East Asia, global science, and the contributions of higher education. In this conversation we start with his own personal experience of potentially being drafted into the Vietnam war as a student in Australia. Simon spent his first degree deeply embedded in student politics and journalism. His route to becoming a Professor at Oxford was nonsequitous. Prof. Marginson's academic career was sparked by a highly acclaimed Ph.D. which he completed, part-time, over 8 years. And nowadays, Prof. Marginson is as deeply motivated to connecting global dots to observe the changing face of higher education across the world as he ever was. On how one gets to Oxford, the answer is sheer hard work. There are no short-cuts to brilliance. The students he looks for will be self-driven, extremely well-read and come with their own ideas. We discuss a range of topics including the open-source intrinsic nature of science research, and how that has been reshaped and blocked by political decisions; the rise of south-east Asian universities in global rankings. Indeed what even are global university rankings and do they matter? Where does the superpower Russia sit in today's university picture? For those of us based in Luxembourg, what is his view on European universities who don't seem to sit that high up on the university league tables - why is this? How do universities serve the common good? Is the cost worth the effort? As always, I would love to have your feedback on the good and bad of your university experience. Please do subscribe to the podcast too, via Apple and / or Spotify. It would be great if you could rate and review too — as it helps others find the podcast.

As heat waves, storms, droughts and wildfires continue to worsen, talking can seem like a seriously insufficient climate solution. It's fair to ask: Are we just engaged in blah, blah, blah? Too often, talking is one sided – more of a lecture aimed at conveying information or solely stating one's own point of view. And yet, when done right, real conversations and true listening can help us find common ground, which can then lead to collective action and change. So how do we make those conversations really count? In this week's episode, we delve into some of our most insightful interviews, looking for the answer. Guests: Katharine Hayhoe, Chief Scientist, The Nature Conservancy   Meera Subramanian, Journalist Faith Kearns, Scientist, California Institute for Water Resources; Author, “Getting to the Heart of Science Communications” Anand Giridharadas, Author, “The Persuaders”  Chloe Maxmin, Co-Executive Director, Dirt Road Organizing John Cook, Senior Research Fellow, Melbourne Centre for Behaviour Change  For show notes and related links, visit our website.

In this episode we speak with Abigail Binay, Mayor of Makati, Philippines. Since 1975, the City of Makati has been part of the National Capital Region comprising the greater Manila area, incorporated as the seventh city in Metro Manila in 1995. With a population of over 629,000 within an area of 21.57 square kilometres, Makati is one of the most densely inhabited urban environments on the planet, which gives rise to a range of governance considerations. Seeing an average temperature during summer months reaching 34 degrees Celsius with consistently high humidity, inhabitability is an imminent threat with wet bulb temperatures of 35 degrees becoming increasingly common. Additionally, subjected to the threat of the world's most severe typhoons, the exposure to climate hazards is particularly pronounced for Makati.  To address climate threats and improve resilience for the residents of Makati, Mayor Binay's office has initiated a range of interventions, including the declaration of a climate emergency, and the establishment of their CafeTalks climate outreach series. With an Investment and Incentive Code put in place to reorient private sector action, mobilized capital, primarily through public-private partnerships, has helped to bridge adaptation financing gaps for major projects, with adaptation finance incorporated into core administrative policies. We also have joining us today some crucial team members from the City of Makati, Merlina Panganiban - Head of the Makati City Urban Development Department, Xenon Walde - Environmental Planner and Manager, Department of Environmental Services, and Liza Velle Ramos - Research & Planning Division Head, Makati City Disaster Risk Reduction & Management Office.  Providing a broader perspective on the value of municipal action, we're joined by Dr. Bernadia Tjandradewi, Secretary-General, UCLG-ASPAC. These guests join hosts Ben Jance and Cathy Oke, in the third episode of City Leaders, special episodes of the ClimateTalks Podcast produced by GCoM, a series of special episodes of the ClimateTalks Podcast series, to discuss Innovate4Cities and consider the potential for multilevel support for climate action.   The clip at the beginning of the episode is Mayor Binay speaking at the 14th Brunel International Lecture Series.

Australia's second-oldest capital is jumping into the future climate-first with its new Climate Futures Strategy, which involves modelling potential climate impacts across Tasmania with the support of the Antarctic Climate and Ecosystems Cooperative Research Centre.  Fostering the development of Local Government Area Climate Profiles, a range of climate variables were factored into the decision-making process to examine potential challenges Hobart and the rest of Tasmania may face in the decades leading up to 2100. Working with the community to build a Climate Strategy, the broader Hobart community across all sectors was brought into the consultation process from October through December 2023. The Strategy will outline the actions Hobart knows it must take as a Council and a community to reach the intended goal of a Climate Ready Hobart. In this episode we hear from Lord Mayor Anna Reynolds, talking about research and innovation in the City of Hobart, and how it will shape  the new City climate-ready. Jess Robbins, Climate Futures Lead, City of Hobart talks aout the participatory process underway to develop the new strategy,  - and speak with ICLEI World Secretariat's Pourya Salehi to understand just how important digital transformations are for city climate action.

Cities and regions across the world have experienced profound disruption from the rise of digital platforms across all areas of urban life. From housing, to transport, shopping, and the way we work, global firms such as ‘Airbnb' and ‘Uber' typically evade local (place based) policy and regulatory settings. However, their impacts have large socio-spatial footprints which need to be understood and factored into future urban policy and planning. Understood within the wider prism of technological innovation and emerging forms of digital automation across the urban sector, this session engages critically with notions of the ‘smart city'. Will the future city be dictated by ‘techno-capitalist' firms or are ‘smart' and socially accountable forms of urban governance still possible?

FDATA and Yodlee are optimistic on Open Finance: “the right data, in the right hands, at the right time, can change the world!” Interview with: Jamie Leach, FDATA and Tonia Berglund, Envestnet YodleeKey Points discussed include:CDR is more than Open Banking – it's open finance and open data – but what are the immediate opportunities, and what's coming in the longer term? Listen to this podcast to learn more.According to FDATA and Yodlee, there are three winners from Open Banking: consumers, fintechs and banks.Banks forced to share data; but banks can embrace banking – they can use data too - also banks can develop new services.Banks have legacy systems but getting ready for Open Banking means better quality data within the bank; this increases efficiencies for the bank.Open Finance delivers some very basic outcomes – more transparency, more insights into pricing; is crucial for transferring someone from another bank (switching campaigns will boom) Analytics and Apps are both crucial for fintechs as they drive innovationMany Business cases still not proven – will take time to understand what works and what doesn't.Plus, some way to go in terms of all banks sharing data: “we are two miles into the Marathon,” says Jamie Leach of FDATA. Jamie covers topic of cost and barriers to entry for fintechs - why is Australia 4 or 5 times the cost of UK to participate in the Open Data regime? (Note: UK doing 800 million API calls a month, and rate of growth is 100%+) Is the worry about security and consumer protection in Australia leading to higher costs?What are the issues for fintechs who want to switch from ‘screen scrapping' to Open Banking Data?Discussion of consent; how consumers give consent to FSIs to use their data; How important is Privacy by Design and what does it mean?Discussion on Data Collaboration and Data Standards; this is a new area for tech and for the law; where are we at in Australia?Discussion on how FSIs/fintech use the data they collect – especially using Ai to understand both individuals and trends; how does Ai blend with Open Banking? Jamie Leach is the Regional Director in Australia and NZ for The Financial Data and Technology Association, a role that see's Jamie work with government, regulatory authorities, and financial industry stakeholders to open up Australia's and New Zealand's financial sector so all companies can benefit from the Consumer Data Right, also known as Open Banking.Jamie is also the Founder of Open Data Australia, Board Chair of tech start-up GridQube, sits on the International Advisory Committee for the University of Melbourne Centre for Spatial Data Infrastructures and Land Administration, and is an expert on e-KYC and Digital Identity for the UN and the World Bank.Tonia Berglund is Director of Product at Envestnet Yodlee. Tonia is responsible for heading up Open Banking in Australia and New Zealand, bringing together the global open banking strategy for US based aggregator and Wealth Tech Company Fintech, Envestnet I Yodlee.  Tonia has spent the last 18 years driving digital change as a senior leader in the Technology and Finance sectors, working in large and small organisations including CBA, Westpac and the Federal Government. She holds Post Graduate Degrees in Business and Technology and has been at the forefront of heading up transformation programs moving systems and processes online across business, wealth and retail divisions.

Public universities in Australia are in a dire state. This week, two reports outlined that 1 in 5 academics have been made redundant over the past year and that the government's changes to funding student places, last year's Job-Ready Graduates program, doesn't cover the cost of cuts made in years prior. International students were the third largest export in Australia prior to COVID-19, and universities have become heavily reliant on their fees to cover teaching and research costs. But with borders closed and no additional government support forthcoming, can these institutions continue to meet demand as the financial support runs dry?Guests:Alison Barnes, NTEU national presidentMark Warburton, honorary senior fellow at the Melbourne Centre for the Study of Higher EducationRoy Green, emeritus professor at UTS

Modern mental illness parallels a world with unprecedented levels of talking therapies and medication. Yet, at the very serious end, the trajectory of mental illness sufferers through our hospitals, social services and courts demand the question - does real recovery demand a different approach?

The field of philosophy has long been a hostile environment for women. Feminist thought has been slow to infiltrate the significant back catalogue of ideas and theories that have shaped how we understand ourselves and western societies. Until recent years, when students and contemporary thinkers have engaged with philosophy, often in academic settings, there’s been limited exposure to women thinkers, and only recently has intersectional feminist thought been taking on the old masters.  In this week’s show we meet feminist philosophy academics and teachers Katherine O’Donnell and Emma McNichol on the meeting of feminist thought and traditional philosophy. With Katherine, we ask what does it mean to live philosophically, discuss the feminist move in philosophy to value the body as well as the mind, and question if feminists can be misogynistic towards women. And later in the show, Emma McNichol introduces us to her work with the Melbourne Centre for Feminist Philosophy.

The dark side of internships. We explore the law; ‘Dodgy’ names and shames internships that might be flouting it. Plus an interview with Amalia Illgner, a UK intern taking Monocle to court for unpaid wages. Starting Somewhere gets serious!With 80% of internships unpaid, especially in the media, creative and marketing industries the number of people who can do them is immediately limited. If you don't have the resources to support yourself while you work for free then internships won’t work for you. We explore what this means for the makeup of the labour force in Australia, social mobility and the law, with Interns Australia director Jack Kenchington Evans, and ‘Dodgy’ the person behind the ‘Dodgy Internships Australia’ Twitter feed, naming and shaming firms who appear not to be complying with Australia's fair work legislation. We answer the question, can a good internship be unfair? And is that OK sometimes? If you have any stories about dodgy internships or standing your ground, we would love to hear them.

There are three ways to do an internship. Each has different benefits, but competition is stiff. Experts, employers interns and your hosts, both former interns, guide you through what employers expect and what interns get out of the experience. Hosts, Buffy Gorrilla and Ben Pawson, explore the internship landscape in detail. If you know nothing, this is where to start. We delve into the surprising history of internships and how they help you get jobs in today's changing employability marketplace. Employers are still using interns, but in new ways. We talk to recruiters who are changing the entry qualifications for interns - in the hope of recruiting the next generation of leaders. We explore the pressure interns are feeling in Australia and around the world. How the pressure manifests itself and how interns are dealing with it. We look at the data on internships, from a recent government report, with representative sampling of the whole Australian population, and a more in-depth report from Interns Australia on the experience of Interns today.

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about the idea of ‘creating a good day’. It’s easy to achieve when everything is going well, but what about when you are in a moment of struggle? What you do in these difficult moments can change everything. In fact, the counterintuitive idea of allowing yourself to be vulnerable with your own emotions and with those around you may just be the answer. For too long, being vulnerable has been labelled as a sign of weakness, when in reality it leads to incredible strength and power. This week’s guest knows a lot about what it takes to be truly vulnerable and what can happen when you’re not. Only a few years ago Ryan Hassan had the “perfect” life, then his life was flipped upside down. He became addicted to drugs and found himself in trouble with the police. With the help of a friend he was able to turn his life around. Ryan is now the co founder of the Melbourne Centre of Healing and hosts his own podcast called “Shift Happens”. Ryan and I talk about how you can truly create a great day for yourself. We can't always avoid bad moments and we can't pretend that everything is okay when it is not. It’s all about embracing and owning those negative moments. It’s about allowing yourself to find and experience great power in your own vulnerability. Ryan grew up in Melbourne a part of a middle class family, where he looked up to his older brother as a hero figure. Growing up Ryan struggled with high anxiety during school. He thought that it was just something everyone experienced, not realising until years later that not only did he have high anxiety but he also suppressed his emotions and chose to distract himself with dangerous addictions. We talk about how Ryan came to terms with his emotions and how becoming more vulnerable helped him. Some topics Ryan and I talk about are: (4:00) “The Melbourne Centre of Healing” (7:30) Ryan’s downward spiral and the years leading into the drug addiction. (10:20) The meeting of Melissa the co founder of The Melbourne centre of healing and starting the walk to healing. (19:10) The strength in being vulnerable. (21:35) How to become more vulnerable in front of other people. (27:05) The “Rain” formula. (R- Recognise A- Allow I- investigate N- Nurture) Ryan’s explanation for the Rain Formula: Recognise - Recognise what the emotion is. Example “I am feeling anger" Allow - Allow the emotion to flow through you. Investigate - Investigate what is really happening behind the emotion. Nurture - Nurture the emotional energy in your body so we can properly process it. (36:30) What the idea of “Do Life Better” means to Ryan. (37:15) Ryan talks about his challenge for the week: Everyone you come into contact with, just simply connect with them for a moment, just make eye contact, and say to yourself this simple sentence - “That is simply me, living a different life” You can get into contact with Ryan at these websites below.

Over four days, our 20 plus speakers – philosophers and theologians, historians and writers, believers and non-believers – will consider what it means to be religious, and what role the voice of faith may legitimately have in the conversations of citizens in a multicultural, democratic state and the community of nations. On Sunday, two keynote lectures from international guests each consider challenges posed by – and to – faith in the building of modern communities. Their lectures will be followed by panel discussions that open up the conversation. Bernard Avishai is the final keynote speaker of the Faith and Culture series, talking about Jewish identity in the Hebrew republic of Israel. He is one of the world’s most respected commentators about Israel and the Middle East conflict and has published on the subject in the New York Review of Books, the New Yorker, the Nation, Harpers and New York Times magazine. Following his keynote address, Avishai will be joined by a panel of local writers and thinkers. The panel will include Geoffrey Brahm Levey, foundation director of the UNSW Program in Jewish Studies and Arnold Zable, president of the Melbourne Centre of International PEN. John Baker, a graduate of The Hebrew University of Jerusalem and president of Ameinu Australia, a roof body for moderate Zionism, will be participatory chair. For the full text of this lecture plus transcripts and recordings of the series, visit our Faith and Culture archive.
