I think I can read your mind. Tomorrow, I explain how certain images can impact how you feel and even what you might do to support conservation. 11:15am in the Throsby room! @DeakinCIE @SCB_SSWG #ConSocSci #ESASCBO2022

New program offered by my academic employer. Are others being 'offered' the same?: 'The Regain Your Research Mojo program has been designed to inspire you, to support your researcher habits, to help you maintain balance and recapture the joy of research'.

@meghaniamh We were just talking about agency ... who speaks for the animals, or who creates the space for their voices to be heard?

@MTZed Perhaps! As suggested below, the animal has no agency over its image, which also suggests it is under human control, the editing is done FOR the human, not the animal. Particularly as editing had no impact on donation levels.

1/6 #GeorgeClooney sells us Nespresso pods ☕️, @KimKardashian sells us makeup💄… there is no doubt that famous and attractive people are effective at selling 💵 But who can we use to 'sell' the plight of #threatenedspecies? 🦧 #SSWGTC21 @OTEConservation @SCB_SSWG

@meghaniamh Great presentation. How do you think photo editing changes the assumed relationship with the animals - that they can (and should) be 'perfected' at human will?

6/6 #Photoediting is already contentious due to its manipulation of the ‘truth’, with ethical guidelines held by many organisations 🤥📸 We suggest extending these guidelines to images of wildlife, and that 'perfecting' animal images may do more harm than good 🦜🦧 #SSWGTC21

You could hardly imagine a worse report on the state of Australia's environment, and the law's capacity to protect it, than that released on Thursday, writes @ANUmedia's Peter Burnett: theconversation.com/a-major-report…

#CIEwhoiswatching #CIEvirtual2020 Great zoom background, Berta Blanch, or is it a buddy checking that all's good with the presentation?
