@ANSNA_Au So well deserved. Wonderful achievement Lucia.

Yes, the power to change minds and bodies with a single act. My friend @freermary agrees, suggests we head over to https://t.co/fib96UV9ul and give a hug/get a hug #hugs #compassion #kindness #oxytocin #sharethelove

@OurCommunityAU @FionaKerr82 A hug. A hug. A kingdom for a hug.

Notice that they make up nearly all good news stories we share about covid We see them in nature too as it heals. They help our systems to blossom. And to positively adapt, if we don't get in their way!

@OurCommunityAU Amazing conference, important movement, great quotes - thank you. With the energy and commitment that exists at community level set in aligned motion, it can change reward loops at the top - that's people power!

@OurCommunityAU Yes, we're hard wired to connect as a social species, changing how we think, feel and heal. Its value is easily underestimated - in our tech design/use (some enable wonderfully), resource allocation, processes - all shape great communities, work places, & families if we choose to

@bird_elly Thank you Elly. Community is the engine room of our individual and societal health, so I was very pleased to open such an important event

[Dr Fiona Kerr @FionaKerr82]

@Gauntlet_Media @_LiquidInt @SD_BNE @_AndrewDuval @leanne_kemp @dezuanni You're very welcome. I would have loved being with the audience in person (to dive into that shared connection), but enjoyed being part of discussing how we actively build and leverage the communities and society we want

[Dr Fiona Kerr @FionaKerr82]

@jasondunstone @giuliku @GruenHQ disappointing to misconstrue a rare collaboration on a popular public awareness initiative selling nothing (no branding, a first) with a campaign to sell billboard space.
And ironic that the ABC hosts me on Ocams Razor, All in The Mind, Catalyst etc to talk about the same science

[Dr Fiona Kerr @FionaKerr82]

@jasondunstone @giuliku @GruenHQ Bit then they didn't talk to anyone actually involved.

[Dr Fiona Kerr @FionaKerr82]

@jasondunstone @giuliku @GruenHQ Thanks Jason. pity the outcome of over a million people enjoying reading about the wonder of human connection wasn't a positive story to them.

Hi Kamin, wonderful article. Supports the message that even when wearing a mask, our eyes reflect our smiles and connect our hearts - that physical distancing still allows emotional embrace. Fiona. You may like https://t.co/dUxAOfhZAK

@DianaSpechler hi Diana, wonderful article on touch. If I could add to it, there are many other ways we electrochemically connect, neurally synchronize, exchange chemicals - we are built to transform each other! I thought you might like to read this☺️ https://t.co/EuNBuqAV2S

@Glenina57 @ACTINOSProject Absolutely- as this video shows well - a great example of a complex vs a simplistic thinker, no matter what your politics. https://t.co/wj8fDuHnSs

@catmatson Hi Cat, it’s interesting to see how those choices are playing out now - those with systemic investment in equitable infrastructure and social capitol have better support systems

[Cat Matson @catmatson]

On the conversation of ethics, @FionaKerr82 outlines that countries or societies that already have 'social values' embedded are going down the social benefit path with tech, whereas societies that are profit orientated are implementing tech to that end

#somethingdigital

[Something Digital @SD_BNE]

What drives ethics in tech? @FionaKerr82 says in Finland it must be:
✅For the good of the Finnish & the common good
✅Sustainable (economically & environmentally)
✅Beneficial for society, private sector & industry – it’s not just about digitising for profit #somethingdigital

[Something Digital @SD_BNE]

If an organisation does something human-centric with tech, there should be a reward. Economic drivers on their own won’t lead to healthy outcomes because tech is too powerful says @FionaKerr82 #SomethingDigital

[Cat Matson @catmatson]

The question shapes the system, if we have a human-centres question, then we build or use the right tech. If we start with the tech, then the outcomes are skewed

(Again, paraphrased)
