Such a blast! A valuable opportunity to bring a discussion of workforce challenges, the complexities of dual use technology, and the connected issue of earning and maintaining social licence to operate to an international military audience. 🛰️
How do we stay competitive in space innovation within Australia’s space sector? It was a great discussion at today’s CAF Symposium as we examined how governments and industry can work together to build Australia’s space power. @AnnieHandmer @tanyamonro @mattjpearson @Silentium_AU

https://t.co/I36zs5PPZX Big news to wake up to! But not unforeseeable. The increasing acquisition of commercial dual-use space services by governments raises precisely this kind of risk. It will be fascinating to see how this affects procurement and risk management in future.

The GREEN of the comet is *not* special. You can make it in your kitchen! Just suck all of the air out of the room, and burn your toast at 3,500degC until the carbon atoms bond unstably into deadly C2 gas. Follow me for more DIY home science tips!

Podcast recommendations? I like long form interviews, history, and deep dive multi ep investigative / documentary style series. I don’t like true crime (unless it’s Lost in Larrimah which was excellent).

People often ask if I’ve ‘used my PhD’ and the answer is yes, once, last month, to slide under a container and move a large spider from my living room to the garden. PhDs save lives, guys. 🕷️

Launching features and products that help customers understand the space environment to being part of a dynamic Australian space sector, it's been a fantastic experience.

Today is my last day at @heorobotics. I have loved using my diverse education and experiences to help a brilliant Australian start up make space transparent, tackle challenges, and grow. HEO has gone from strength to strength, and grown faster than I could have ever predicted.
