Taking the important issue of #reablement and #rehabilitation for people living with #dementia to #Parliament house as part of #SMP2025. Thanks to @allegraspender.bsky.social for meeting with us. #ScienceTechnologyAustralia #UNSWAgeingFuturesInstitute #HammondCare #NationalCentreForHealthyAgeing
Inside #Parliament house and pumped for day 2 of #SMP2025
Names for the moon in several Aboriginal languages, next to an image of the moon. Examples are Ngalindi (Yolgnu Matha language) and Kakirra (Kaurna people of SA)
Do you know the name of the moon in an Indigenous language? If you said no, youβre not alone.
Despite their long history, very few Australians are taught the names and stories of Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people, a poignant point from John-Paul Janke at Science Meets Parliament

Missed out on smelling βPutriciaβ last night @ #SydneyBotanicGardens www.youtube.com/live/TBQelEo... but got to enjoy this view instead: #SilverLinings #Sydney #CorpseFlower #Endangered
Loved the opportunity to nerd out with Mr 6 about this βCorpse Flowerβ aka Bunga Bangkai (Indonesian), Titan Arum or Amorphophallus titanum in #Sydney #Gadigal #STEMM #science #endangered

When online, we all need to engage in a bit more "lateral reading to verify sources and information" @aunz.theconversation.com

In a rather baffling side note of #cybersecurity - the hospital IT systems blocks the website because it is new π
Agree. There needs to be balanced and clear messaging around the fact they are potentially modifiable risk factors. Also, we need to ensure balance remains in research and practice around preventative and post-diagnostic support.
A lot more work still to be done, for sure!
