What if we could prevent wildlife health crises instead of always racing to respond to them? Dr. Leanne Wicker has spent decades asking this question – from anesthetizing seals in Tasmanian car parks during lunch breaks to tracking ocean temperatures through Antarctic seal movements, from nearly a decade managing confiscated wildlife during Vietnam's bird flu outbreaks to pioneering the field of veterinary ecology back home in Australia.Through her work with critically endangered swift parrots, Leanne reveals how a single photo of a lonely nest tree standing in a logged forest transformed her approach to conservation. She's championing a radical shift: understanding that nest failure isn't just about numbers – it's about healthy parents, viable eggs, and well-fed chicks thriving in intact ecosystems. After experiencing the wildlife health frontlines across three continents, Leanne shares her vision for proactive conservation where veterinary expertise helps create conditions for wildlife to flourish, rather than waiting for disaster to strike.LinksCheck out Leanne's current employer and their work:  Enviro-DynamicsLearn more about the swift parrot project here. We'd love to hear from you ... share your thoughts, feedback and ideas.

In this episode of the Cyber Uncut podcast, Daniel Croft and David Hollingworth talk about the latest AI news, the week in cyber crime, Tasmanian government breach woes, and Australia signing an important UN cyber crime treaty. The pair kick things off with some AI news, including OpenAI opening up about how many of its users talk about their mental health challenges with the bot, and the company's latest move to create AI music. Hollingworth and Croft then move on to cyber crime in Australia. A breach linked to vocational student management platform VETtrak has gotten several Tasmanian government agencies caught out, Anubis ransomware continues to be a horrible group of people, and the AFP stands up two new cyber crime taskforces. Finally, some good news: the Australian government has said it will carve out protections for Australian artists wanting to protect their work from ravenous AI companies, and the UN has established a new cyber crime treaty.

In his farewell episode of Finance Specialist, host Jack Campbell and co-host Trent Carter unpack the biggest shifts shaping Australia's mortgage broking industry – from diversification and technology to the rise of non-bank lenders. Over the past year, diversification has become a defining trend, with more brokers expanding into commercial lending, SME finance, and SMSFs. Carter shared the story of a Tasmanian broker who, inspired by the show, successfully pivoted into SME lending – proof that confidence and curiosity are driving broker success. They also explored how technology and AI are reshaping the broker toolkit, streamlining workflows and opening new growth opportunities, while cautioning that the right tech should enhance – not overwhelm – daily operations. And as non-bank lenders continue to gain traction, Campbell and Carter highlighted how their flexibility is helping brokers say “yes” more often to clients with complex financial needs.

A fish that can't swim, the rarest fish in the world, needs a hand.Our hosts James and Elysee are in south-east Tasmania, home to several species of handfish, a curious creature that ‘walks' along the sea bed on fins modified to look like hands.They chat to Dr Tyson Bessell who researches the Red handfish at the Institute of Marine and Antarctic Studies at the University of Tasmania, and talk about the quirks of this little fish. Our hosts also speak to Prof Neville Barrett, a marine ecologist also at the University of Tasmania, who helped discover the decline of handfish several decades ago. Neville talks about how climate change is impacting this sedentary fish and Tyson discusses the Red handfish's captive breeding program, affectionately nicknamed ‘Handfish School'.James and Elysee also catch up with the Invasive Sea Star Clean Up group in Hobart, and join volunteers to dive and remove introduced sea star species from handfish habitat. They chat to organiser Keith Thomas-Wurth and other participants too.Finally, James and Elysee travel to Dodges Ferry, a small town just on-shore from where the only Red handfish populations live. Here they meet Jenny Scott, a local resident who organised a mass beach protest against the expansion of salmon farming in order to protect the handfish. Our hosts discuss the environmental impacts fish farming is having on Tasmanian waterways and Jenny talks about the community's love for their own endangered fish.Thank you to: Dr Tyson Bessell Associate Professor Neville Barrett Jenny Scott Keith Thomas-Wurth from Invasive Sea Star Clean up Tasmania https://www.facebook.com/groups/1318246581861063 Clean ups once to twice a month, just show up!Recorded, written, and edited by James Worsfold and Elysee Lee

Mel Knuckey jumped on to share a hell of a story. Tasmanian mum of two. Community worker. Sleepless for weeks. Misdiagnosed. Admitted. ECT to survive. And the part that lit both of us up... no one checked perimenopause until a therapist suggested it. Mel gets raw about the psych ward, the guilt, the rebuild with her kids, and the power of HRT to pull her back to herself. This one is about self-advocacy, stigma, and why we need our blokes, our GPs, and our mates across what perimenopause actually looks like. It’s heavy, hopeful, and practical. Mouthguard in.

He led them to a Grand Final in his first year and the Championship in his third.Some of the ther highlights for me included: Scott's view that allowing the outside influence of social media into your mind can stop you from being vulnerable enough to dare greatly.Question: How you manage the outside influences that can, in Scotts words “drag dirty feet through your mind?” How he uses vulnerability to illustrate the role that care plays in his leadership style, and how he uses this to coach hard and challenge people.Question: How do you find the balance between telling people the truth, but also exhibiting care?The fascinating story of how he taught his new players and club what it meant to be Tasmanian by sending them to work on an Apple Orchard. And the bloodlines group he set up of people that have shaped Tasmanian Basketball, to help the team stay connected to its heritage.Question: What routines do you use to connect your team to the identity that shaped it?If you would like to send us any feedback or if you know a great coach, who has a unique story to share, then we would love to hear from you, please contact us at thegreatcoachespodcast@gmail.com or contact us through our website thegreatcoachespodcast.com The way Scott talks about his evolution as a leder, from Hosted on Acast.

In part two of our conversation with Professor Carolyn Hogg, Research Manager of the Australasian Wildlife Genomics Group at the University of Sydney, we dive deeper into the science and strategy behind threatened species management. Carolyn shares how her team is developing crucial genetic data to guide conservation, including breed-and-release programs with species like the Tasmanian devil. We discuss the vital role of biodiversity in sustaining planetary health, and the ambitious Earth Biogenome Project, which aims to map the genomes of all 12 million species of eukaryotic life on Earth. Beyond the lab, Carolyn reveals how genetic insights are shaping real-world decisions—bridging the gap between cutting-edge science, social change, and the policies that determine the future of our ecosystems.
