So next trivia night when you're asked "Name Australia's first Computer", don't answer with #CSIRAC (1949). The correct answer is Gerald Lightfoot (1909)! Refer the quizmaster to my tweet. #australia #computers #robotuprising

Why has the EU Parliament banned the use of the words "burger" and "sausage" for foods made from plants? Seriously, can anyone tell me why?

Vegie burgers have been in the supermarkets, labelled as such, for decades. There was #NoConfusion then, or now.

Australia doesn’t lead the world in much technology, but we do in biotechnology, DESPITE relatively low investment for a rich country.

We can produce the world’s best biotech in the lab, but that doesn’t guarantee we can supply the market.

The ‘Plants as Factories’ and ‘Re-designing Biology’ panels at #MadeAndGrown2025 offered insights… and hope!

Australia entered synthetic biology a little late, but is accelerating hard. We have the talent — the sector needs support and coordination to flourish.

Eye-opening session at #MadeAndGrown2025!

Precision fermentation (PF) isn’t just for the familiar dairy products on our supermarket shelves…

All G Foods is using PF to produce lactoferrin, a high-value protein found in milk at concentrations below 0.1%, used in infant formula.

Our President Andrea Leong spoke with Finnish Greens MP Atte Harjanne in Warsaw about the benefits nuclear offers as part of the clean energy transition.

[WePlanet Australia @WePlanetAus]

Our President, Andrea Leong, is heading to COP29 to ensure the Australian government isn’t greenwashing, to work with change-makers, and to argue the case for bold action to protect our planet.

Last year, she was there in Dubai when the historic pledge was signed by 22 countries to triple nuclear generation by 2050.

This year, she will focus on how we can make our food system more sustainable and resilient in the face of climate change.

Australia’s eastern forests are a biodiversity hotspot AND a deforestation hotspot. How is this possible, when most Australians — of all political affiliations — oppose native forest logging?

Creepy @FoEAustralia campaigner @WendyFarmer_ publicly bragging about illegally recording private conservations without consent.

Wow, I certainly didn't expect an almost-$300 increase in energy bills on the heels of the government's promise of a $300 rebate.

Lifesaving Golden Rice is once again under fire from groups who deny the science behind its safety and its potential to save millions of children’s lives worldwide.

Let policymakers know you support this lifesaving food.

The Morrison government's gas-led recovery has been revived by the Albanese government.

We look at the government's bewilderingly irresponsible Future Gas Strategy.

You wouldn't know it but #australia does have a #nuclear industry and a lot of smart people at @UNSWEngineering working to improve it.

Anyone else keen to see these laws repealed?

Really need sunset clauses in these things.

These two ambitions are at odds with each other. EVs can be on the road, moving people and things, or they can be connected to the grid moving electricity supply from earlier in the day to later in the day. They can’t do both at the same time.

On Monday I spoke at a NSW state parliamentary inquiry into the current and future public transport needs of Western Sydney. You can watch my full appearance below.
My main points:
- Extend the metros to the west
- Better buses
- Less sprawl, more TOD

@BlackbirdBlue99 @Andrea__Leong @peter_tulip @michaelkoziol > Overpopulation is solely due to colonisation. First nations get pushed out of the lands they lived in for generations. Australia is allowed to be an Aboriginal state. But if you are British, and want to live around Britons, you go to them. Don't bring them here.

FTFY. 👍

@BlackbirdBlue99 @Andrea__Leong @peter_tulip @michaelkoziol > Fuck me.

Mmm such amenity, so spacey...

“No heritage values, open space, or amenity” describes car-dependent new suburbs packed with gutter-to-gutter dark-roofed poorly-constructed houses. And yet, some people choose to live there when it’s what they can afford. Imagine being limited by house prices,
if you can.
