@rbleiker So sorry for your loss Roland. The world is a poorer place.

It is my sad duty to convey that Emma Hutchison - my beloved wife and the most amazing person and scholar I have ever met - has passed away last night. Although no surprise - we have known for a couple of years that time is up - I am utterly devastated and lost for words.

@MullyMorphy @RepJournal Congrats Molly.

@DougallAB Congratulations!

@analispolitik All the the best for your next chapter!

Farewell, Brisbane, and thanks for the kind 6,5 years. Now ready for the next journey: Aberystwyth. Bismillah.

@DougallAB @Politics_Oxford Amazing news. Congratulations!

I challenge anyone to get more excited and relieved about a research ethics approval than I am right now.

@JessMKirk_ @MonashUni Congratulations! Well deserved.

Upcoming event this Saturday, at King George Square, Brisbane City. mailchi.mp/unaa/upcoming-…

Down in Caberra for a guest lecture at the Australian Defence College, I felt obliged to see the War Memorial, with complimentary construction works. A great week with really good people.

@BethRowan Massive congratulations Beth. So happy for you.

Who knew PhDs actually did end, after all? 🥳

First day of teaching tutorials in a while in Global Security. It was genuinely great to be working with students again. Lots of ideas and lots of energy. When you come away from a big day, but you're still feeling energised, you know you're in the right place.

@MattM_UQ If he could just wait until my thesis is done, that would be great.

Anyone dealing in weather needs to stop using "1 in X year event". It's a effort to make it relatable, but climate change means all bets are off anyway. The "once in a 100 year" event could happen twice in a week...and has. abc.net.au/news/2023-11-3…

@richkbellaus @Alex_J_Bellamy @suz_fay Huge congratulations Richard. Well done!

Today my PhD was conferred. I had a fantastic time over the past four years with @Alex_J_Bellamy @suz_fay and Ben Goldsmith writing about sustaining peace after war’s end.

I don't often go to church, but when I do, I get my hands on a Nobel Peace Prize. Listening to @Craig_Foster at the International Day of Peace was a reminder of why I'm doing what I'm doing. Congratulations award winners, and the people of ICAN for tireless work toward peace.

@HigheredH @hass @itali @UQ_News @UQVentures @UQ_POLSIS_Grads The visual metaphors tip is a good one. Hadn't really thought about that before.

I've been lucky enough this week to help the great people at @ProtegasAU with some training with National Emergency Management Agency in Canberra. Cheers to good weather, and sunsets on lakeside walks.
