Thanks for your insights in Lies and Falsehoods @SimonLongstaff — can you recommend any books or articles to learn more about ethical infrastructure, or ethics and trust more broadly? The #CrikeyTalks recording is available at https://t.co/tjxL9l20cP @crikey_news @ethics_centre

1/ Cracked out the #GCAwarenessDay tshirt. Why do GCs need an awareness day, you say? Because despite genomics being a buzz word across every medical specialty, there are still so many folks in healthcare, research & public who’ve not heard of us. #GCAD2021 @GCAustralasia

I had my first AZ jab at the start of the #SydneyLockdown when they opened it up to under 40s, and my second jab tonight, 6 weeks later. Don't wait for Pfizer just get it done.

#SydneyLockdown is inconsistent and cruel; why can't single people who live alone see one friend? Is the government so incompetent they can't even workshop how the rules impact different groups to ensure some minimums to support mental health are met

NSW Health Minister Brad Hazard has confirmed an intimate partners’ exemption for lockdown, citing “compassion” and “common sense”. Now, singles living alone are wondering where the same empathy is...

Chris Salisbury and @RioTinto again fail to acknowledge their social and cultural responsibility—with a CEO unable to comprehend what they have destroyed at #Juukan, no review will deliver the organisational change needed to prevent this happening again. https://t.co/E0tzvEjGJK

The destruction of #JuukanGorge is abhorrent, especially given the efforts to engage & protect. @RioTinto must acknowledge the difference between legal & cultural licence, then address the process & cultural failures that disregarded the sites' significance. What will change?

A few weeks ago, someone was asking about "complex systems". Is there anything to it, or is it just a buzzword? How does it compare to agent-based modeling, chaos theory, systems science, etc.? This concise survey by Mark Newman answers those questions:

Spotted 11+ men playing football on @SSFCRabbitohs' field in Redfern Park yesterday. With @ScottMorrisonMP, @JoshFrydenberg & @GladysB prioritising the economy; it seems many are no longer #PhysicalDistancing. I'm worried #COVID19au will resurge & we'll squander hard won progress

The #covidsafe app is now available in Australia 😷 However, it's a shame that they have decided not to release the source code for full transparency. Luckily, I'm a curious chap and also a professional mobile developer.

From a moral perspective, COVID is a little like climate change in fast forward. People calculating that it’s acceptable to pay for economic stability with millions of deaths can do so in part because those deaths are abstract and hypothetical. Quickly, they won’t be.
