Jack RyanHiya!
In late September, I was voted in as President of the Science Journalists Association of Australia.
I'm taking over from the masterful, indefatigable, legendary, delightful Founding President Bianca Nogrady.
Bianca -- and all the founders and committee members over the years -- have done such an incredible job at building a community of science journalists since kicking this all off in 2019. I'm delighted she tapped me to carry the fire for SJAA through its next phase.
I have some big goals. I want to see science journalism in this country thrive by giving opportunities to young writers, creating pathways for people to make this amazing career their full-time job, helping improve the quality of an already outstanding field in this specialist beat in Oz and just building on that sense of community.

Axel BrunsThe results are quite remarkable: those who see Australia as united are mostly likely (58%) to vote Yes, those who see it as already divided will most likely vote No (59%). So rather than Yes being ‘the voice of division’, as the No campaign claims, it’s No that’s giving voice _to_ division.
I'm beginning to think Microsoft sign-in processes were designed specifically to upset people. It's ability to be so passive aggressive about having more than one account is unmatched.
Why are some telcos reselling Starlink? I’ve heard people who have purchased direct have been quitting due to poor service. Like if a dish gets hail damage they struggle to get help. Having a local network support hardware issues could go a long way to making users far happier.

Wonderful new app from the makers of Halide. Turn any iPad into an external HDMI monitor for any source, with nice settings options.

Getting spammed by someone sending Google account recovery codes to my phone. I’ve realised there’s no way to check which account they’re trying and no way to go into security settings to tell their IP to piss off.
