We are officially launching the CSIRO Advanced Engineering Biology Future Science Platform in a public webinar on Wednesday this week (1 pm AEST). All welcome! events.csiro.au/Events/2023/Ap…

On June 19 I'm presenting a public seminar on 'Gambling on Unknown Unknowns: Risk Ethics for a #ClimateChange Technofix' at STIS Edinburgh at the University of Edinburgh, open to all (with option to join from online as well). For further details: sps.ed.ac.uk/news-events/ev…

Here’s our new animation on what is synthetic biology? Please share. youtu.be/Q-VA1bHwpQQ #syntheticbiology # bioeconomy ARC Centre of Excellence in Synthetic Biology

Being or Becoming Petrified? Researcher, writer, and artist Joshua Wodak formulated 2 prisms to engage with the current Rupture of Life on Earth. Come and join us next week! mesh.uni-koeln.de/events/researc…

mid century? that seems overly inflated by #hopium. mid-to-late next week seems more apt. or week after next. tops. and for the virulent antinatalists there are, thank g_d, no crotch spawn to drag into the abyss…

Our next seminar titled ‘Drawing a Line in the Sand’ by Josh Wodak will be held in person on Parra South in EZ.G.23. All are welcome. For full details: bit.ly/2yV1mqW

Hail to The Thief - “it” is nothing less than a rupture of life on earth… With “existential threats” in the league of the five mass extinction events preceding the one currently unfolding. As per umpteen ignored warnings: youtu.be/uIeDorM-VkA?si…

Hot off the press (& hot off the global boiling sending life on earth into oblivion)...my article with Dr Daniele Fulvi on the abyss & the abysmal of: "Gambling on Unknown Unknowns:Risk Ethics for a Climate Change Technofix" open access in The Anthropocene Review Anthropocene Review

This article admirably confronts the 'socially organized denial’ that dominates universities i.e. still promoting delusions instead of honesty re the #ClimateCrisis “No research on a dead planet”: preserving the socio-ecological conditions for academia" frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

“Will the Earth breach its 1.5C guardrail sooner than we thought?” should read ‘When was the 1.5C guardrail breached and why did anyone ever think it would be later than it was?’ ‘Earth’ is not the agent here. Human hubris, ignorance & arrogance is. theguardian.com/environment/co…

Centre Director Paulsen Lab and COO J-L Heylen visited Chief Investigator Josh Wodak and team at our Western Sydney University node last Friday. It was a great opportunity to exchange ideas and learn about their current research projects. Many thanks to Institute for Culture and Society (ICS) for hosting us!

just when my faith in inhumanity was waning…

Today's seminar titled 'Engineering Futures through Synthetic Biology: A Technofix Imaginary' is being presented by Daniele Fulvi. Thank you to our discussant Henry Dixson and chair Paul James!

Daniele Fulvi and Josh Wodak's article, “Gambling on unknown unknowns: Risk ethics for a climate change technofix” critiques Negative Emissions Technologies as a climate change solution, highlighting the unprecedented risks and uncertainties they pose. tinyurl.com/3zth7fs8
