Aircraft noise = health harm:
✖ Higher heart disease
✖ Sleep disruption
✖ Learning impacts in children
WHO says night-time noise is a public health risk.
Only Sydney & Adelaide have curfews -

You've done a great job on that show over the years, a real beacon of science communication with heart, hope and laughs. You'll be much missed but onwards and upwards. "Our doubts are traitors, And make us lose the good we oft might win, By fearing to attempt..."
Listen to the new 'Citizen Science Show' with our Director Jack Nunn, exploring challenges in citizen science and asking:
"Can we move to evidence-informed involvement?"

How should patients and the public be involved in evidence synthesis and systematic reviews?
What support do people need to get involved?
Help us understand more and inform Cochrane’s next Patient and Public Involvement Strategy by completing the survey and sharing:

It's been a great experience attending the Cochrane Leadership meeting in Lisbon, alongside my colleagues from the Patient and Public Network Executive. As Co-Chair, it's really exciting to see the attention that patient & public involvement in evidence synthesis is getting. #evidence @cochrane.org

Improved data about political and other influences on science is required: "safeguards from the politicisation of citizen-led research are needed"

"lawmakers could either reframe protests relating to scientific data as a legal form of scientific research translation and dissemination, or as ‘illegal protest’."

How do we improve citizen science? I'm presenting at the Australian Citizen Science Association conference about how we co-created 10 recommendations with researchers and the public.

I'm pleased to share that I'm now a Co-Chair of the Cochrane Patient and Public Involvement Network Executive.
Cochrane will no longer use the term ‘consumer’ to represent patients and the public.

I'm involved with some research exploring the priorities and concerns of Australian people in relation to DNA testing.
There's still time to share your views as part of a survey:

I guess I mean some of the issues you're talking about would be caused by people who are buying things who are not aware of what is happening - how can we, as a species, do better sharing this kind of data? I'm probably a bit more articulate here about this:
wikimedia.org.au/wiki/STARDIT...
Brilliant research and journalism. Would love to hear any ideas you have for sharing this kind of data so it's more accessible to people - could this be used? STARDIT.wikimedia.org.au
