Even if the body and pain is complex, the strategies we can use to recover from pain doesn't have to be! We're going on a “Magic School Bus” ride (cue 1994 PBS nostalgia) to our cellular systems on the nanomolecular level. Jump to 34:40 for simple biohacks to reset a hypersensitive biological system that happens during chronic pain. “Change is inevitable, how you change is not.” Huge things are possible when we know how our body works and actively use that knowledge to make changes to our cellular systems. Mark reminds us that without trust, transformation in finding relief from chronic pain is really hard. Professor Mark Hutchinson is the Director of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Nanoscale BioPhotonics (CNBP), an Australian Research Council Future Fellow, a Professor within the Adelaide Medical School at the University of Adelaide, and President of Science and Technology Australia, the peak body in Australia that represents 90,000 scientists. Mark explores the “other brain” and has pioneered research which has led to the discovery of novel drug activity at innate immune receptors. We cover topics like: Why we experience pain Strategies that speak the same language as our cellular systems Why our cells remember pain We have hundreds of cellular systems that turn on and off hundreds of switches in our body to stay in control and keep us safe. These switches determine why, when, and how much pain we experience in response to stimuli. When we feel a feather against our skin or step on a Lego, we're experiencing nociception. Over time, our baseline of what turns these switches on and off becomes more sensitive, resulting in hypernociception and allodynia that are caused from stimuli that normally wouldn't cause pain, but now does. Strategies that work with how our cellular systems function include: Eating well (eating plants borrows their defense mechanisms!) Going on a walk outside Playing in nature Having deep meaningful conversations (talking actually changes the structure of the central nervous system) Creating a positive and supportive environment Drinking hydrogenated water Mindfulness practices, “thinking well” breathing practices like Wim Hof supercharges your immune response and resilience When exploring strategies, your mindset matters! Having an expectation that the strategies can work influences the outcomes. It's critical to have a positive mindset that you can shift your pain, even it's only by a little bit.

The much-anticipated 26th UN Conference of the Parties – COP26 – is over, and the response to its agreement is mixed. Some say the path to net zero is inexorable; others feel that much remains to be agreed. In Australia, a dominant theme is that private enterprise and state governments are taking the lead on the path to net zero in the absence of a clear national commitment. There are other notable ‘other than government' initiatives at international level. What position will Australia and the wider world be in at the end of the decade?Today, we have two guests to discuss the aftermath of COP26. John O'Brien is Partner, Energy Transition & Decarbonisation, at Deloitte Australia. He works with clients to translate their decarbonisation/energy transition ambitions into practical business plans. John attended COP26 in Glasgow, this year and his latest book, Stories from 2030 has just been published. Dr Linden Ashcroft is a climate scientist, academic and science communicator. She works at the University of Melbourne, where she lectures in climate science and her research focuses on Australia's past climates.

Associate Professor Caroline Ford leads the Gynaecological Cancer Research Group at the University of New South Wales. Over the past eight weeks, the Covid19 lock down has had a huge impact on the the laboratory work of many scientists, including Professor Caroline's team. At the time of this conversation with Professor Ford, she was looking forward to the team going back to lab to work which is due this week. Professor Ford established her lab at the Lowy Cancer Research Group in 2010 after international postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Toronto, Canada and Lund University, Sweden. Her research aims to understand why gynaecological cancers develop, how and why they spread throughout the body, and how best to treat them. She leads major projects on the early detection of ovarian cancer and molecular targets in ovarian and endometrial cancer. Professor Ford is also a long-time advocate for women in science, and was named a “Superstar of STEM” by Science & Technology Australia, a program aimed at smashing the stereotype of what a scientist looks like. In 2018 she founded the STEMMinist Book Club a global and virtual community focused on feminism and women in STEMM, which has rapidly grown to include over 4500 members from 30 countries worldwide.

SPECIAL GUEST: KATE UMBERS (WSU) Stop murdering invertebrates. OK? Good. Dr Kate Umbers is an animal behaviour expert from Western Sydney University who is fighting to make sure that invertebrates are recognised as the wonderful creatures they are. In an interview with In Situ Science she says that perhaps the arts are the best way of teaching people about the majesty of the other 99% of the animal kingdom. By forming meaningful relationships between people and invertebrates, we can start appreciating them as things other than the creepy, crawly stereotypes they have been given. Kate along with 29 other women across Australia is a ‘Superstar of STEM’, recognised by Science and Technology Australia for their contribution to science. These superstars are acting as role models to increase the representation of women in science. We talk about her experiences with the Superstars of STEM initiative as well as her breakthrough role on Romper Room as a child.

My contribution to the Plenary Session on The Revival of Political Economy will include a discussion of the main core general principles that I have been elaborating on in various forums and journals for the past 5-10 years. Soon this work will emerge as a book, Principles of Political Economy—Applied to Contemporary World Problems. The main principles discussed here will include (a) historical specificity, (b) heterogeneous agents and groups, (c) circular and cumulative causation, (d) contradiction, (e) risk and uncertainty, and (f) uneven development. (There are other principles but these are discussed elsewhere.) These principles are used as core concepts and methodological tools with which to embed political economy problems and policies into the historical juncture, generating a social perspective of the role of human beings and other species, but including geography, in a holistic science of provisioning through protecting and regenerating community assets for present and future generations. Examples of how these principles may be used to example specific problems such as financial crises, climate change, etc, are given throughout the session.
