Centre Director Ian Paulsen, COO J-L Heylen and Strategic Initiatives Lead Dr Iniga George visited the Centre's @westernsydneyu node last week. It was wonderful to see how well the social science research is embedded within the centre’s activities.
The integration of perspectives, collaboration across disciplines and nodes and genuine enthusiasm from the WSU team created truly positive vibes! 👊
Thank you to Dr Josh Wodak @anarchangle, Dr Henry Dixson, Dr Daniele Fulvi and Yasmin Tambiah for hosting us. @arc_gov_au

Is synthetic biology redefining ‘care’ by engineering life itself into controllable, disciplined forms? Daniele Fulvi explores this in his article, "Synthetic Biology As a Postmodern Technology of Care". tinyurl.com/22wxt787

Daniele Fulvi & @anarchangle’s article “Hubris and Humility in the Face of Climate Overshoot” warn that relying on synthetic biology & NETs vs. a humble approach could shape very different futures for life on Earth. tinyurl.com/2znk5j5w

Daniele Fulvi and @anarchangle'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

Centre Director @PaulsenLab and COO J-L Heylen visited Chief Investigator @anarchangle and team at our @westernsydneyu node last Friday. It was a great opportunity to exchange ideas and learn about their current research projects.
Many thanks to @westsyduics for hosting us!
“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.

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.…
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 @AnthropoceneRev
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=k5j8…

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