Tomorrow, the "Making the Invisible Visible" Conference on indoor air quality (IAQ) will be held at Parliament House. Join advocates, policymakers, scientists and community members for expert panels on IAQ, health equity and inclusion. During the event, the Academy will release a significant report that explores the policy pathways to routine measurement and monitoring of indoor air in public buildings to an agreed set of standards and sensitivities. The report will also address fundamental questions about what constitutes indoor air quality, and what standards and practises currently exist to measure and mitigate indoor air pollution. 📅 Thursday 6th November 📍 Parliament House, online 🕒 9:30am - 4:30pm AEDT Speakers include: – Assistant Minister Rebecca White MP – Professor Michael Kidd AO, Chief Medical Officer – Distinguished Professor Lidia Morawska FAA FTSE – Anna-Maria Arabia OAM, Australian Academy of Science (pictured at left) There is still time to register for the live stream. 🎥 events.humanitix.com/making-… @CoopResearchAus @ayyemm

Out today in Nature, our new paper on the drivers of the extreme summertime heating of the North Atlantic during 2023. Temperatures across much of the basin warmed to record high levels in the space of just a few months. The impacts on climate and ecosystems were severe. A thread on how this work came about and what we found. 👇👇👇🧵 nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
This is not the actual cover of Nature, just shown here for illustrative purposes. We did submit this figure for consideration for their cover. Print run in two weeks, we'll know by then if it gets used.

Pluto was robbed of its planet status - and now we are supposed to accept just handing out moons to Saturn … it is a rigged solar system

Saturn now has 274 "moons"—but are they all really moons? 🌘 Maybe it’s time we rethink the definition, argues @LKrauss1.
