I am delighted to attend the School Library Association of NSW’s All the Literacies conference on 16 May. This is the next step in co-designing our information resilience program, originating from the University of Canberra, with teacher-librarians. Registration here: lnkd.in/eejwVj6Q
Proud to share that the report on misinformation interventions I co-wrote with three psychological science colleagues for the Australian Chief Scientist has been released. Other reports deal with democracy, communities, and neuroscience. #academicsky #auspol www.chiefscientist.gov.au/news-and-med...

My mother's grandfather #ThomasSturge-Moore was a poet (mates with Yeats who rather unkindly referred to him as 'a sheep in sheep's clothing') and noted wood engraver. Below are some books he designed. #DIY publishing runs in the family. :-)

Thanks to @grazulis.bsky.social and team for hosting a #DCPC workshop with #CDC at Liverpool's #CivicHealthLab. Participants from Africa, Brazil, China, Europe, India, Oz agreed to design universal principles for the digital commons (dc), a dc taxonomy, stakeholder comms and a dc health framework.

A fascinating exact (e.g., non-Mercatored) representation of the actual size of countries... www.artlebedev.com/susha/susha-...
Recently visited the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) in Hobart, Tasmania which has cool art of course but l also liked the idiosyncratic signage :-)
