Nice article from colleagues of mine: A fresh opportunity to get regulation and engagement right – the case of synthetic biology theconversation.com/a-fresh-opport… via The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand

Really enjoyed talking to Carolyn Hendriks' class, Participating in Public Policy, today at the ANU Crawford School of Public Policy. So interesting to discuss participatory design with students from all over the world. Look forward to hearing about their designs.

Great new book out (or if you need something to keep a door open...)

Great to have the opportunity to present on our Deliberation in Schools pilot at DeliberateACT - two initiatives I’m passionate about. Thanks Kei Nishiyama and @PChalaye from DelDemUCan and #DeliberateACT

Join us next Monday to hear about another suggestion for democratic innovation in the ACT

A contribution of mine on science policy published in The Policy Forum today. 'An ongoing conversation about the public benefits of science, as they affect everyone in the long-term, is what science policy should be built on.' Interested in your thoughts. policyforum.net/maximising-pub…

Australian science also needs greater transparency, accountability, and future vision, Wendy Russell writes. Science & Medicine at ANU Centre for the Public Awareness of Science policyforum.net/maximising-pub…

#climatestrikecanberra What a fantastic rally! Will the 20s be the new 60s?!

Interesting community engagement/implementation job in brain/mental health research.

Thanks for a great conference, Synthetic Biology Australasia (SBA)! I've really enjoyed the diversity of topics and fields. #SBA2019

Citizens’ jury on the future of gas in the ACT, sponsored by EvoEnergy finished up this evening. An amazing job from this incredibly committed, focused group of 30 energy consumers, helping to transform our energy system to zero emissions by 2045.

Here's an opportunity to work at the intersection of social science and synthetic biology. It's a super interesting space, believe me!

And another opportunity to join the responsible innovation work going on at ANU and CSIRO

Joining DelDemUCan is a great opportunity for a very rich PhD experience. Not just excellent research support but great and very supportive friends and colleagues. One thing I can say after over a year at the centre that I'm doing much more than I expected from myself!

I met this little fellow heading to the Hancock library. I offered to help them across the road but they were just fine, thanks

Fabulous workshop today with Erik Fisher (Arizona State) on STIR (socio-technical integration research). Now thinking about how to integrate public deliberation to help make innovation more sensitive to public values.

Once again, terrific to work with Kei Nishiyama and @PChalaye on this important work.

A colleague in the US is looking for exemplary participatory planning projects re climate action. Suggestions?

Pleasure working with you all on this! Sujatha Raman , sarah hartley, Lucy Carter & Aleksandra Stelmach
