🎙️ It was so awesome to be on ABC Australia's @RadioNational program BIG IDEAS, hosted by @natashamitchell. @badiucao and I loved the conversation we had about global resistance, authoritarianism, and our graphic novel YOU MUST TAKE PART IN REVOLUTION. 🔗 apple.co/4y78zMw

Very sad to hear Jo Puccini is leaving the ABC. She was one of the best mentors I ever had in my career in journalism and a fierce advocate for investigative journalism. Agree with @SteveCannane below.

Such sad news that Jo Puccini is leaving the ABC. Jo is one of the best people I have worked with. So many of us have benefited from her leadership, ideas, courage, compassion, creativity and support. 1/
ALERT: Sc*mmers are targeting authors pretending to be ABC presenters & producers (including from Big Ideas). This is a widespread scam.
More info & guidance:

E.g [email protected] is NOT an email from me
@Google is slow in fixing this.
Be aware that the sc*mmers are convincing, persistent, & use fake marketing materials including photos of you & ABC presenters. They may even go as far as to book & conduct a Zoom 'interview' with you. Do NOT engage. Do NOT give them $. Block. Report.

An unfathomably shocking loss of a (too young) vibrant, energising, trailblazing leader in Australian science, science communication, and university education. Bowled over by this news today. Vale @DrEmmaLJohnston. Condolences to all close, including you @Brooks_Rob
Dear friend @DrEmmaLJohnston, beloved to so many, passed away on the 26th Dec. Here is a piece Kylie Walker & I published in @ConversationEDU. It only scratches the biofilm on this remarkable human, leader, scientist and friend.

Love and light, and stay off social media if the imagery, footage, grief, shock, and comments sections, are all too much (as they are).
All we have is our shared humanity.
Words matter.
Choose them carefully and with sensitivity.
Connect with loved ones.
Reach across.

Don't share photos of the tragic scenes up in Sydney tonight. Loved ones will not know yet. Let police processes and community safety be the first consideration.
