Our article '(Re)presenting #urbanheatislands in Aus cities: A study of media reporting and implications for urban heat & #climatechange debates' has been published in Urban Climate. My first!! All the credit goes to @WasteLizard @Phil_McMan, Alex & Jules sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Recurring message at #Adaptation2022 so far: the impacts that were once projections are now being experienced - we are living in the future today. @LaurenARickards advocates that everyone at #Adaptation2022 should be considered a living lab to collectively progress solutions

Some great discussion with tangible actions on today's panel on systems change for climate with @DanJCass from @TheAusInstitute, youth parliamentarian @Nabuberry and the ABC's Robyn Williams. Thx @IWCouncil and Footprints Ecofest

Looking forward to sharing a bit about my journey from research, to environmental policy, to now consulting at @SEI_Sydney's Employment Pathways Workshop tomorrow! #policy #environmentalpolicy #resilience

My talented plant ecologist sister makes upcycled paper earrings - all botanical themed! Worth checking out 😊

The creators of a well-regarded COVID-19 data website and social media account, CovidBaseAU, have unmasked themselves as three young Victorians who received their first jabs today. #coronavirus #protests #Echobox=1632389565-1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">theage.com.au/national/austr…

@MelissaLDavey I wonder this all the time!!!

@CharlotteSimyo For sure! I feel the same about climate change. The flip side is you feel a lot less helpless when you're actually trying to do something to change it, like you!

“One of the penalties of an ecological education is to live alone in a world of wounds.” - Aldo Leopold, 1949 Feeling overwhelmed by ecological grief today.

@ian_g_brennan @CharlotteSimyo @C_Alley93 @Rose_Upton1 @barringtonc0ast @danswellstarrs @americanbeetles Thank you all for your help! This is the best we could do :) No idea if it helps in any way!

@CharlotteSimyo @alicesimyo @C_Alley93 @Rose_Upton1 @barringtonc0ast Any pictures? There are aquatic true bugs (Hemiptera) commonly called "water scorpions". I always go to @danswellstarrs for my freshwater needs, and follow @americanbeetles for bug IDs.

Any experts on the aquatic critters of #BarringtonTops 🏞️ My sis @Alicesimyo had an encounter with a strange scorpion-like insect in a waterfall 🦗 & is really curious about what she saw! @c_alley93 @ian_g_brennan @rose_upton1 @barringtonc0ast know anyone?

@kylepowyswhyte @DSchlosberg @JalonneWNewsome @tgreames Looking forward to reading this special issue!

12 months and a lot of hard graft later, I'm very proud that we are able to publicly share our @ato_gov_au Systems-Led Design guide. SLD is our practice that brings together design, systems thinking, behavioural insights and foresight. Read it here: bit.ly/2D13pMC

Fun fact $25k is about the estimate for a full retrofit of a social housing dwelling. Solar, battery, heat pump, insulation...the lot. Cost savings, health benefits, greater social equity.

@ResilientSydney @PropertyCouncil @100ResCities Great to see! FYI @GlobalResCities!

After 2 wonderful years, I will be moving on from #ResilientSydney (@cityofsydney). Starting 11th August, I am looking to start a full-time role in the #resilience or #climate policy in the public or private sector linkedin.com/posts/alicesim… #resilientcities #urbanresilience #GRCN

#COVIDー19 is "bringing to the surface what we have know for many years. People already have underlying issues because of where they live & not having access to healthcare & not having a healthy city" @DrBobBullard youtu.be/XAFD-0aMkwE #environmentaljustice #resilientcities

#COVIDー19 disproportionately impacts disadvantaged communities. Research finds that communities exposured to pollution have higher probabilities of deadly covid cases, the intersection of #COVIDー19 & #environmentaljustice ft. @DrBobBullard youtu.be/XAFD-0aMkwE @DSchlosberg

@sydknowledgehub @GradientInst @groklearning @SydneyQuantum This is a great idea :)

Friday drinks in times of global pandemic with some of the team members from @GradientInst @groklearning @SydneyQuantum as well as watching/reading list for the social distancing weekend ahead 🤓

@SEI_Sydney @sydney_business @MichaelEMann I'm really disappointed I will no longer be able to attend :( Hope it goes well and looking forward to hopefully reading about it afterwards!
