An excellent article about our latest work connecting CO2 with virus aerostability.
This article goes into some of the challenges that come with conducting transformative research during a pandemic. If you wondered what my last few years were like:

Jordan got COVID in January 2022, & his life hasn’t been the same since.
He shares how his life has been impacted by long COVID & urges Victorians to stay ahead of the virus with protective steps.

The killing fields still drip with blood while the rest of the world has decided it is above nursing a guilty conscience for stepping indifferently over the bodies.

Listen, you must
put down
that fire extinguisher
live your life
in this burning house.
Come on, you must
take off
that life preserver
live your life
in this sinking ship.
Please, you must
stop wearing
that face mask
live your life
in this evolving pandemic.

This is why, even now, I’ve never succumbed to hubris regarding the dangers of Covid. We REALLY want it to be “just a cold,” but it’s not a cold. It’s neurological, and it’s stealthier than us. Those who have friends with “long Covid” know it’s no joke: scientificamerican.com/artic…

At great universities the buildings are nowhere near as impressive as the people.

The Albanese Government's decision to offer DFAT support to return Pell's body to Australia means taxpayers will foot the bill. In my view, the tax-exempt Catholic Church can and should cover the cost. It's inappropriate to expect Australians, including survivors, to pay. #auspol

It is not possible to protect the most vulnerable from #covid unless we reduce rampant covid transmission between everyone.
We are all in the same lifeboat here & the big lie is that there are groups with superior health or age that have nothing & no-one to worry about.

I don’t understand how COVID is spiking again after we’ve tried everything from pretending it’s over to pretending it never happened

John Hewson: A recent poll suggested as many as two-thirds of Australians think the pandemic is over. This is far from true. A false impression has been created, as a result of poor messaging by governments and health officials… #AusPol satpa.pe/hewso56f39c

Our lives are only meaningless if we waste them. Before you die you should be at least acquainted with the currently expanding facts and photos of our incredible Universe. And what science thinks is going on in it. It is a priviledge to be born into this form. Don't waste it!

It’s an important claim for Professional Staff who have demonstrated how well their work can be done from home. WHS is vital, but it’s also about the right to have flexible working conditions that improve work life balance. Prof Staff won’t be used as props to “vibrant campuses”
Almost all of our branches are pushing for work-from-home rights in agreements being negotiated between universities and some 27,000 professional staff around the country. @GabeGooding3

Maybe if we stopped raising and socialising men to think women are an extension of them, that they are entitled to and a something they have a right to own, posses, objectify and control, a woman a week would not be murdered each week in Australia right now.

A big congratulations to my @EdithCowanUni colleagues in winning a program award at the Australian Awards for University Teaching. Our whole of institution approach to inclusion was recognised as leading practice in student experience. Wonderful recognition!

Am now totally addicted to "Big Jet TV" - a man with a camera standing in a field outside Heathrow, filming and commentating as planes try to land in the storm. "ARGH! Look at THAT! it's CRABBING!" youtube.com/watch?app=deskto…

It is perhaps time that we stopped talking about women's safety and started talking about men's violence. Because that is what it is.

Joyce’s insensitive gaffe, claiming that “people are not dying”, is the logical extension of the government’s callous attitude: that these hundreds of deaths aren’t worthy of much thought. themonthly.com.au/the-politi…
