The Australian Bureau of Statistics has a team that works with community groups to seek stats from those sleeping rough and experiencing homelessness #Census26

I just wrote my first research analysis app using AI. It’s good for what I need. I would’ve previously given that work to an RA for about $2k. I have mixed feelings about this.

I was interviewed about Bluesky, so I’m sharing it on Bluesky: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

There is so much great work being presented in the first session of the last day of #IAMCR2025 (after the night of the conference dinner, may I add).

It was a pleasure to kick off the CPT section off this year! We had a wonderful audience and a very fluid group of speakers...

Despite the room AV is not functional, CPT’s first panel chair @dhutchman.bsky.social gracefully moderated it and we upheld the #iamcr2025 participatory ethics as much as we can! Watch out that room 53 in Hive may not be functional till later. Ask the helpful volunteers for direction!

Wow. Standing room only for the CPT session at #IAMCR2025!

As I listen to this plenary session, I'm reminded that climate and environment is only one small part of the work we need to do as scholars. There are clear boundaries between what we do and how journalist and policymakers operate. #IAMCR2025

Super fascinating publication about the disparities of digital literacies in newsrooms in the Middle East and Northern Africa that I've been exposed to in during the #CPT 50 precon at #IAMCR2025 www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1...

I find the hype by fans and activity of the media for #tdf incredibly inappropriate. Can someone give this athlete 5 mins to recover before the Q&A?

Super fascinating stuff about 6 and 7ghz wifi and public access by @catherinemiddleton.bsky.social here at #CPT precon at #IAMCR2025 I always assumed wifi will be free resource, but perhaps not…

Also, I think this is the best #tdf25 ever! So many things: crashes, wins, climbs and sprints. And it’s only day 5! Getting use to no sleep nights with my other ASEAN time zone fans…

Sorry, @sbsaustralia.nzcow.com…

Really @sbsaustralia.bsky.social ? Coffee of clarity? That’s so painfully awkward to watch those two sip empty cups. #tdf25

With six months until teen social media ban, experts don't think tech is viable Children as young as 15 were repeatedly misidentified as being in their 20s and 30s during government tests of age-checking tools, sowing new doubts about whether the teen social media ban is viable.

It’s not like the govt’s publicly funded (humanities) experts have been screaming this at you for months. But you now have a private consultant to confirm face recognition won’t won’t for a social media ban. Maybe we need a rethink here @MRowlandMP? www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

Congrats @snurb.info on becoming an ICA Fellow! Super cool!!

International Communication Association Conference – Day 1 After a wonderful plenary last night that provoked us to think about who we are and how we respond, individually and as an association, to the current political environment, Day 1 for me has been a great experience. Much quality scholarship emerging from the Popular Media and Culture, and Children and Media streams. Here's the following notes from the sessions I attended:
