RIP Sam Neill, one of Australia’s beloved adopted sons. Watched this only a week ago but equally enjoyed him in 2025’s Untamed. Talk about a brilliant career.
Looking forward to getting my copy of this #anthology of stories, edited by @rodgbun.bsky.social and Edwina Shaw, after hearing the first of the companion podcast this morning. Foreward by @darrenhayesmusic.bsky.social #queersland #queerhistory www.andalsobooks.com/queersland
Converted our chook run into a fernery and #chillout space last year. Last night my eldest said they used it when they were stressed about uni and my youngest chimed in that she had used it, too. I call that proof of concept! 🎉🏆🥳 #touchgrass #forestbathing #selfcare #AuDHD #sensorymodulation
Today’s #academicwriting brought to you by caffeine and seasonally appropriate carbs. Logging off this afternoon for 10 days of 🏕️🏊♀️📖🍷🧀 It’s only 11am so I’ve kept the chocolate hot cross buns for this afternoon. #academicsky
Day 1 of #freepublictransport for April in my state 👏👏👏 If the federal government were serious about #climateaction they would stop subsidising #fossilfuel companies and give it to the states for #freePT This would be easier and cheaper if it wasn’t privatized, of course 🙄 #auspol #climatechange
The (real) Professor and Doctor Scarlet on our way to #Cluedo on #ValentinesDay This followed us attending a murder mystery at a castle in medieval garb for our anniversary last year. The couple that #cosplay together stay together? #academicsky
Caught the train all the way to work today without a long wait for an “express” bus connection through peak hour traffic. The station is adjacent to four major public hospitals in Melbourne and is now finally accessible by train. More this #auspol #publictransport #climateaction #accessibility
I didn’t vote for it but very happy with this outcome. #TripleJ #Hottest100
Eff year! Was beginning to think I was very out of touch as none of my votes had made it in yet. #TripleJ #Hottest100

If you think you know what constitutes best practice in #QualitativeResearch methods in #HealthResearch, here's a list that may confirm or challenge your understanding 👇 If it challenges you, perhaps give the full paper a read? link.springer.com/article/10.1... #academicsky #ImplementationScience
Corellas appearing for the first time in my Melbourne suburb since the recent #bushfires. Since the 2019 fires we’ve had black cockatoos nesting in a local reserve. Urban #greenspace is more important than ever in our #climatecrisis. #BirdsOfAustralia @birdlifeoz.bsky.social
Had the pleasure of attending a Q&A with the Brotherhood of the Wordless today at #WoodfordFolkFestival, a group of #nonverbal poets, writers, teachers and advocates who use #facilitatedcommunication. Check them out if you get the chance. brotherhoodofthewordless.com/we-point/
Breaking my holiday social media hiatus to share this tribute to “the other John Snow” for all my #epidemiology and #PublicHealth friends from the Woodford Folk Festival. #academicsky
Last day of work and four hours of #codesign workshops to observe and analyse. Hoping this will help… #academicsky #QualitativeResearch #Evaluation
Aw what a sweet face! This is the boy that inspired my friend to gift me the mug.
It’s my favourite. We have an easily stressed white cat but this also applies to me…
My @alivenational.bsky.social co-conspirators & I checked in with participants in our #codesign workshop at #AAAPC2025 & had some positive feedback, & got a special shout out from the recipient of the Hardship Equity Award: alivenetwork.com.au/our-networks... Hatching plans to offer it again...
“Sometime choosing not to implement can be as important as going forward.” Dr Bridget Abell “Implementing without preparation is often a bad investment.” Prof Steven McPhail “Often what you think is the problem is not the problem.” Assoc Prof @zephtyack.bsky.social #EIS2025 #ISHCA @eisummit.org
“There was a lot of eye opening for clinicians.” Emma Tavender of PREDICT on the value of bringing youths, parents and clinicians “in the same room” during codesign which resulted in a shift in approach to support better conversations between parents & clinicians. #EIS2025 #ISHCA @eisummit.org
“We need to start at the ground. . . . If we do codesign well we will see more fruit on the tree.” Sanne Peters et al.’s metaphor has been useful in describing to codesigners the purpose of process evaluation. #EIS2025 #ISHCA @eisummit.org implementationscience.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....
