@camerontw True for anyone working on projects trying to do hard things. The literature, while flawed, shows frequent failure and poor realisation of planned benefits - though somewhat constant over time despite increasing scale and complexity. We learn, and do better

[Matt Swan @MattASwan]

Thanks for your insights in Lies and Falsehoods @SimonLongstaff — can you recommend any books or articles to learn more about ethical infrastructure, or ethics and trust more broadly?

The #CrikeyTalks recording is available at https://t.co/tjxL9l20cP @crikey_news @ethics_centre

@elizakcourtney @GCAustralasia Awesome to learn more of your story @elizakcourtney. The Precision Medicine team and the children's cancer community are so fortunate to benefit from your passion and brilliance

1/ Cracked out the #GCAwarenessDay tshirt. Why do GCs need an awareness day, you say? Because despite genomics being a buzz word across every medical specialty, there are still so many folks in healthcare, research & public who’ve not heard of us. #GCAD2021 @GCAustralasia

[Matt Swan @MattASwan]

@Magdale31632652 Do you know if recordings are going to be made available? There are some great sessions, but I'm not going to be able to join live. Thanks

I had my first AZ jab at the start of the #SydneyLockdown when they opened it up to under 40s, and my second jab tonight, 6 weeks later. Don't wait for Pfizer just get it done.

[Matt Swan @MattASwan]

#SydneyLockdown is inconsistent and cruel; why can't single people who live alone see one friend? Is the government so incompetent they can't even workshop how the rules impact different groups to ensure some minimums to support mental health are met https://t.co/TVfTsu4xVU

Wow! This morning I walked across broken glass & 300°C coals to support the @KidsCancerInst #CEODareToCure & to help #CureChildrensCancer. Each week 20 kids are diagnosed with cancer in Australia, & 3 die.

Please donate if you can:

Thanks!

#CEODareToCure about to do my Glass Walk and then the Fire Walk. Support Children's Cancer Institute to #CureChildrensCancer. Please donate at https://t.co/v2ivZiqcA9

[Science & Technology Australia @ScienceAU]

Keen to follow Australian Indigenous STEM leaders, researchers and practitioners? Here’s some suggestions - please add others!

[Matt Swan @MattASwan]

@robertwiblin Professor @ian_hickie Co-Director, Brain and Mind Centre at The University of Sydney, and Professor @PatMcGorry, Youth Mental Health at the University of Melbourne. Both have made important contributions to research, policy, and NFP (@beyondblue, @headspace_aus)

[Matt Swan @MattASwan]

@christopherneff This after the NSW Police Commissioner excused his officer for assaulting an aboriginal boy as having 'a bad day' and the Police Minister blamed the boy's language, may strengthen peoples' resolve to march. The Victorian approach is more nuanced and less incendiary

[Matt Swan @MattASwan]

Chris Salisbury and @RioTinto again fail to acknowledge their social and cultural responsibility—with a CEO unable to comprehend what they have destroyed at #Juukan, no review will deliver the organisational change needed to prevent this happening again.

[Matt Swan @MattASwan]

The destruction of #JuukanGorge is abhorrent, especially given the efforts to engage & protect. @RioTinto must acknowledge the difference between legal & cultural licence, then address the process & cultural failures that disregarded the sites' significance. What will change?

[Matt Swan @MattASwan]

@physicsJ That's cool; AfterEffects is pretty accessible, the code to pull it together less so. I'd definitely watch a screen cast/lecture stepping through all that with some code snippets

[Matt Swan @MattASwan]

@physicsJ They are both beautiful and I'm impressed with the sophistication of the simulations. Have you published anything on your process; how you set them up and render? I'd love to learn more

[Matt Swan @MattASwan]

@physicsJ Ah, amazing! Thanks for the correction and further detail. Much easier to see here, as well as the perceived size change.

[Matt Swan @MattASwan]

@physicsJ Interesting animation but it doesn't show the Moon's libration or perceived wobble due to its: orbital eccentricity, inclination, and our view from Earth's surface. This allows us to see ~59% of its surface.

Have you ever asked yourself "how did research get done before LateX?!"

Oh boy do I have the thread for you… (1/?)
