Here's something I get to do as a content writer that I never got to do as a copywriter – I sign my name to my work, and that gets displayed publicly.I'd like to think I was a conscientious writer before, but this makes me 10 times more so. And is a constant reminder that everything needs to be a certain level of awesome – no filler copy.Even when you don't sign your name to something, it's difficult, that commitment to always striving to make something the best it can be – whether that's an ad or the next rung in your career.But as our next guest reminds us – don't do something for the sake of ticking a box.To hear the story behind that lesson, along with many more lesson-filled stories, I talked to Nik Maricic, Marketing Director, Asia Pacific, Ria Money Transfer (https://www.riamoneytransfer.com/).RIA Money Transfer is owned by Euronet Worldwide, which is publicly traded on NASDAQ. Euronet reported $3.668 billion in revenue for 2023. It has the largest direct bank deposit network in the world.

How much truth is there to the claims of the ability for plants to purify the air? Is it just hype, or do they make a genuine difference?Recently, one of the world's leading indoor plant companies, Ambius, sponsored me to visit their press release for a new study that they funded at the University of Technology in Sydney (UTS) regarding the ability for plants to purify the air and suffice to say... what they've found is astounding.Not only does this study confirm the air purifying indoor plant claims, but they've completely revolutionised the way that we should be approaching indoor air quality as a society. You won't be using artificial air purifiers after listening to this episode!Johan Hodgson is a plantsman and General Manager at Ambius, and Dr Fraser Torpy is an Associate Professor involved with the study at UTS. Together, they were able to explain exactly what's so exciting about their findings, and how business owners and professionals in the horticulture industry can use their findings to help green indoor spaces around the country, and the globe.EPISODE LINKSLearn more about this study: https://www.ambiusindoorplants.com.au/ambius-capability/ambius-and-uts-research-studyAmbius indoor plant solutions: https://www.ambiusindoorplants.com.au/plantsUniversity of Technology Sydney: https://www.uts.edu.au/Johan Hodgson's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johan-hodgson-8006a550Dr Fraser Torpy's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/fraser-torpy-aa40b1232Search for horticulture jobs: HortPeople.comFOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIATwitter: @PlantsGrowHere / Facebook: @PlantsGrowHerePodcast - Join our Facebook group!VISIT OUR WEBSITEwww.PlantsGrowHere.comYou'll find heaps of educational blog articles, including How To Prune For Natural Shape, What Relationships Do Plants Have With Other Organisms?, and What Is Healthy Soil, And How Can We Build It?.LET'S WORK TOGETHERAre you in the industry or an enthusiast with something of value to share?

In recent decades behavioural economics has emerged as a significant field in its own right. With a history going back almost a century and incorporating insights from Nobel prize winners such as Herbert Simon, Daniel Kahneman and Richard Thaler, behavioural economics seems to promise a meaningful alternative to the assumptions of rational human behaviour which underpin classical economics. Yet what really is behavioural economics? And more importantly what are the challenges which now appear likely to undermine behavioural economics seemingly inexorable progress rise to the top of the academic standings? To discuss this I am delighted to be joined by Dr Jason Collins of University of Technology Sydney. Dr Jason Collins is a Senior Lecturer in the Economics Discipline Group at University of Technology Sydney and Program Director for the Graduate Certificate and Master of Behavioural Economics. Jason joined UTS in January 2022 following a career in industry and government. Jason co-founded and led PwC Australia's behavioural economics practice, and built and led data science and consumer insights teams at the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC). He has also worked as a lawyer, environmental campaigner, and an economic policy adviser with the Australian Treasury Jason holds a Ph.D. from the University of Western Australia in which his research focussed on the intersection of economics and evolutionary biology.

This edition is the first part of the 6-part Blak Bias podcast series. From keeping students connected to their schooling during the pandemic to helping coordinate clean up efforts after floods, Indigenous media does more than just report on what's happening. The Guardian Australia's Indigenous Affairs editor, Lorena Allam, explains the work of Indigenous media during times of crisis. She explains how The Guardian's approach to reporting the outbreak of COVID-19 in Indigenous communities in western New South Wales put the government on notice about vaccination rates. But at the same time, mainstream news too often fell into victim-blaming.Blak Bias is a collaboration between IndigenousX.com.au, the University Technology Sydney (UTS), and 2SER Radio.

Black Lives Matter sparked a ‘media reckoning' in other countries but what happened in Australia?In the final episode of the 6-part Blak Bias podcast series, co-hosts Rhianna Patrick and Madeline Hayman-Reber discuss the treatment of Indigenous journalists who broke their silence on their experience inside mainstream media organisations. We hear from Carmen Parahi about Stuff.co.nz's apology to Maori for how the major New Zealand news organisation portrayed Māori people and reported on Māori issues for the past 160 years.Warning: The following episode briefly discusses the reportage of child abuse so if this is likely to raise anything for you, please give 13 YARN (13- 92-76), the national 24/7 Indigenous crisis line a call or Lifeline on 13 11 14.Blak Bias is a collaboration between IndigenousX.com.au, the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), and 2SER Radio.

There's a fine line between race and racism when dissecting the Australian mainstream media and its reportage of Indigenous Affairs.Over the last decade, conservative columnists and reporters in conservative legacy media have generated public debate over the validity of the Racial Discrimination Act. At the same time, Indigenous communities have accused the same media of covert and overt racism in reporting. TV presenter, journalist, and Whadjuk Noongar woman Narelda Jacobs explores coverage of the death in custody of Kumanjayi Walker and the resulting trial. While Professor Heidi Norman from UTS discusses the coverage of the Cindy Prior case, which became subject to a nationwide debate around racial discrimination.Warning: The following episode discusses the reportage of Aboriginal Deaths in Custody so if this is likely to raise anything for you, please give 13 YARN (13- 92-76), the national 24/7 Indigenous crisis line a call.Blak Bias is a collaboration between IndigenousX.com.au, the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), and 2SER Radio.

How much do mainstream journalists understand the nuances of land rights, native title, and Indigenous land ownership?From the birth of the land rights movement to the introduction of native title laws, mainstream media has often struggled to report accurately on issues of Indigenous land ownership. Professor Heidi Norman discusses how this reportage has impacted on the aspirations and self-determination of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders while Dr Valerie Cooms, Chairwoman of the Quandamooka Yoolooburrabee Aboriginal Corporation gives you the community perspective on what it's like to be on the other side of those stories.Blak Bias is a collaboration between IndigenousX.com.au, the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), and 2SER Radio.

For a long time, Indigenous stories were mostly reported by non-Indigenous journalists. But that seems to be changing.A growing cohort of Indigenous journalists and the rise of the Indigenous digital content creators are making waves across both mainstream and Indigenous media. Lachlan Skinner, founder of the first Indigenous internet radio station, One Mob Radio on Gumbaynggirr country, and James Saunders, former Chief Operating Officer of IndigenousX.com.au discuss the changing Indigenous media landscape, and the new platforms and initiatives shaking things up.*Please note, at the time of recording James Saunders was the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of IndigenousX.com.au but he is now the former COO.Blak Bias is a collaboration between IndigenousX.com.au, the University of Technology Sydney, (UTS), and 2SER Radio.

When should the race of someone be identified in a news story and when shouldn't it?If Indigeneity is excluded from a news story it can obscure racism–but if it's featured, it can encourage racism and further add to media stereotyping of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. CEO of Ngaarda Media, Tangiora Hinaki, shares how racial stereotyping played out in the recent case of the abduction of 4 year old Cleo Smith, and how Indigenous media uncovered the wrongful identification of her alleged kidnapper.

In a recent article Dr Nathan Kettlewell and colleagues explored the impact that life events can have on overall wellbeing. What is the impact of major positive life events? And equally what is the impact of not so positive life events? In Episode 40 of the Brain for Business, Brain for Life podcast we explore these and other issues related to understand the impact of events on our positive and affective wellbeing. Dr Nathan Kettlewell is a Chancellor's Post-Doctoral Research Fellow in the Economics Discipline Group at the University of Technology Sydney and a research affiliate of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Children and Families over the Life Course and the Institute of Labor Economics (IZA). As a researcher, Nathan's main research interests are public policy, health economics and behavioural economics. Nathan is particularly interested in the formation of peoples' risk attitudes and what these attitudes mean for their life outcomes, understanding peoples' demand for private health insurance, and causal evaluation of government programs.

SPEAKER: Dr Yuval Sanders AFFILIATION: Centre for Quantum Software and Information, University of Technology Sydney ABSTRACT: In this talk I discuss the results of two of my recent quantum algorithms papers: arXiv:2007.07391 and arXiv:2110.05708. Both of these papers are 70+ pages in length and quite dense, which needs some explanation because the underlying ideas are not particularly complicated. The reason for the length is that we, the authors, are effectively compiling quantum algorithms by hand, and we are doing a very crude job of it. I will explain that increasing paper lengths are evidence for a growing methodological problem for practical quantum algorithms research. I will also explain why that methodological problem is in large part responsible to ongoing mistakes in media when attempting to articulate the real-world applications of quantum computers.

In this talk, I will present an adaptive optimisation algorithm which achieves the same goal, but at a drastic reduction in time and space complexity.

First Nations in Australia have had extraordinary patience in the face of extraordinary denial.In the words of Yothu Yindi's song, Treaty, Aboriginal people have repeatedly seen “promises can disappear just like writing in the sand.”In this series we've talked about how the media has repeatedly failed Aboriginal political aspirations and how Australia's media landscape requires a transformation that needs to go much deeper than issues of representation.In this episode of Black Stories Matter, we're going to be hearing from leading Aboriginal journalists who have faced these barriers from inside the newsrooms and are carving out their own pathway to tell Black stories.Chaired by Amy Thomas from the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at University Technology Sydney, the discussion features Kamilaroi woman and Indigenous Affairs reporter at the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, Ella Archibald-Binge, descendent from the Gamilaraay and Yawalaraay nation and The Guardian's Indigenous Affairs editor, Lorena Allam, and UTS Lecturer from the School of Communication, Dr Anne Maree Payne.This podcast is inspired by the book 'Does the Media Fail Aboriginal Political Aspirations: 45 years of news media reporting of key political moments' by Amy Thomas, Heidi Norman and Andrew Jakubowicz from the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at UTS.The Black Stories Matter podcast was made with the support of Aboriginal Affairs New South Wales as part of a strategy to improve the dynamics between Aboriginal people and governments.
We know that bad reporting can lead to bad policy and this can adversely affect the lives of First Nations people.So far in this series, we've heard how the Australian mainstream media has failed to connect with Aboriginal communities. But for Aboriginal journalists deeply embedded in their communities, it's a completely different story.In this episode, we're looking to independent black media, to hear what Aboriginal journalists can teach us about the stories told around sovereignty and self determination and how we can support Black media.*Please be advised this podcast contains discussions about topics some listeners may find distressing. You can contact Lifeline on 13 11 14*.Chaired by Bhuva Narayan from the University of Technology Sydney, this discussion features Madeline Hayman-Reber a Gomeroi woman, freelance journalist and Media Advisor to Senator Lidia Thorpe, Rachael Hocking, Warlpiri woman and NITV journalist and co-host of The Point, and Associate Professor Tanja Dreher from UNSW, an expert in settler listening.This podcast is inspired by the book 'Does the Media Fail Aboriginal Political Aspirations: 45 years of news media reporting of key political moments' by Amy Thomas, Heidi Norman and Andrew Jakubowicz from the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at UTS.The Black Stories Matter podcast was made with the support of Aboriginal Affairs New South Wales as part of a strategy to improve the dynamics between Aboriginal people and governments.

Higher education leaders and policy makers in Australia are facing a lot of hard decisions right now.The New Social Contract Podcast spoke with UTS Vice-Chancellor Professor Attila Brungs and Shadow Minister for Education and Training Tanya Plibersek to find out their different perspectives on the purpose and role of universities in the 21st century.There are lots of factors contributing to the uncertainty in the tertiary sector at present - will international students return? How much debt can be sustained? What will happen to research funding?But one thing that would make it easier to act in the present, is a clear plan for what universities should do in the future. What are universities in Australia for? The answer to that question will shape the kind of system we get.*Note: The interview with Vice-Chancellor Professor Attila Brungs took place on Tuesday June 9 2020.The interview with Tanya Plibersek, Shadow Minister for Education and Training took place on Tuesday June 16 2020.
What does the COVID-19 crisis mean for universities now and over the next 6-12 months?There's a lot that is uncertain. From job losses to student recruitment, future university business models and the role higher education will play in making a post-COVID society - the consequences of the pandemic are still emerging.The social settings of the post-COVID world will be different to those we have known.But the terms of those settings are not yet in place - that's why there's so much at stake.To help get a sense of where the cracks are emerging in Australian higher education and how different parts of the sector are responding, The New Social Contract podcast talks to:Dr Alison Barnes, President of the National Tertiary Education Union&Luke Sheehy, Executive Director of the Australian Technology Network (ATN), an umbrella body for technical universities including UTS, RMIT, University of South Australia and Curtin University.For show notes and transcript visit: https://www.uts.edu.au/partners-and-community/initiatives/impact-studios/projects/new-social-contract-podcastNews grabs used in the montage at the start of the episode feature the voices of:Journalist Ellen Fanning, presenting The Drum on the ABC, aired on May 13 2020.Kylie Walker, CEO of Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering, on the ABC 7.30 Report, titled ‘Fears for the viability of Australia's top universities without international students'.Victorian Minister for Higher Education Gayle Tierney on ABC Melbourne on May 20, 2020.An exchange between Labor Senator Murray Watt and Deputy Secretary for the Department of Education Robert Heferen at the Senate Select Committee for Covid 19 on May 19, 2020.An additional sound bite was kindly submitted to The New Social Contract podcast by Susan Goodwin, a Professor of Policy Studies from the University of Sydney, to discuss a UniKeeper policy document.
