My dad’s property burned yesterday (luckily he/house/cattle are ok) and I live in the bush near West Gippsland and it’s getting very difficult to find affordable home insurance (many just won’t insure us at all). It hurts my head that nothing meaningful is being done about the climate.
Oh yeah they kinda scooped us 😅 But I think that two independent groups - one mostly made up of early-career researchers from the ND community and another which is high-level academics - had some similar ideas about how to approach the language issue is validation that we're on the right track
The language we use to talk about ADHD matters - it has real consequences for people with ADHD/ADHDers. This paper has been a long time in the making, so very glad to see it out in the world and very grateful for having such an amazing team work on it ❤️
Thank you for sharing!

Scientists have linked fossil fuel companies to specific climate harms for the first time, with five Australian oil, gas and coal companies potentially responsible for $900bn in loss and damage from extreme heat alone.
Latest from me in The Guardian this morning.
OMG @flavioazevedo.bsky.social this was us at 6:20pm at out last credit meeting! (You're Brad.)
If you want *genuine* positive progress for the environment & climate (why wouldn't you?), then you can vote for that, by voting Greens/Teals/sensible Independents. Preferential voting means *no vote is wasted*.
The major parties are both ecocidal, to varying degrees www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...
#auspol climate/enviro protection are no brainers for priorities imo
@flavioazevedo.bsky.social quick, on the count of three, drop some bread
tagging my actual account so I don't forget 😅 @ejfriedel.bsky.social
“It’s the same shit, different year,” ANU climate scientist Prof Sara Perkins-Kirkpatrick said. “I am sure everyone is now getting fatigued that these records keep falling. It’s now incredibly predictable.”

One consequence of tolerating pseudoscience is that people die when its legitimatization becomes baked into our culture, health care systems, and institutions.
We just wanted to take a moment to thank all our new supporters! Tomorrow, there will be more of us!
Advertisement for a research opportunity: Language preference in disbaility. Person with ADHD or ADHDer. Do you have ADHD? We are interested in your language preferences! Would you rather be referred to as a person with ADHD or an ADHDer? If you have ADHD and are 18 years or older, you can complete our survey about disability language preferences (it takes about 10 - 15 minutes). Have your say! Scan the code or click this link. This study has received Deakin University ethics approval (reference number 2025/HE000002)
Do you prefer ‘a person with ADHD’ or ‘an ADHDer’?
If you have ADHD (and you are 18+ years), we would like to know what you think as part of our research on disability language preferences. To have your say, you can complete a 10 – 15 minute survey deakin.au/4iqPuOi

Is there anybody in my bubble that likes to write stories, and would be up for trying to write something for my project @scienceandfiction.net?
It's a great way to practice your science communication and try something new! 💙

It’s Friday! Steve’s productivity is at an all time high.
Grocery stores are the worst 😂
Vaccines don’t cause autism.
Vaccines aren’t even associated with autism.
The biggest predictor of autism?
GENETICS.
We have decades of data and millions of data points that to show this.
This lie insults people with autism too — as if it’s an “adverse effect” of medicine.

Brad is telling Steve do shenanigans. Steve is probably going to do them.
Want to avoid the utter carnage unfolding under a Trump-Musk government being replicated in Australia?
Don’t elect Temu Trump (aka Peter Dutton).
That doesn’t mean you need to put Labor first though!
Use *preferential voting* to best reflect your values and politics.
“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”
A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.
What’s the best way to influence politicians and government policy when it comes to nature conservation?
Researchers from RMIT surveyed ex-politicians, public servants, community groups and non-government organisations and found 4 ways to create real change for nature 🌍🧪
