19.01.2022 FROM THE EDITOR: The global coronavirus crisis has presented the world’s leading media outlets with a unique reporting challenge: how to cover a complex and evo...lving pandemic in a way that is accurate, transparent, up-to-date and does not cause undue alarm. How can this reporting reflect the available information and still be useful enough to inform the very real decisions we all face, from whether to cancel our travel plans, or buy extra toilet paper, or let our kids go to school or wear face masks? And if we get all that right, how can we make sure people know that we have trustworthy information, reporting and analysis that is significantly more reliable than a Tweet or a Facebook post, or a doorstop comment by a politician? How can we help people know what to trust and better identify what might be misinformation? This is where The Conversation offers something unique. We only work with academic experts who are writing in their area of expertise. We have access to more than 90,000 of the world’s top academics, many of them immunologists or epidemiologists at the forefront of the global response to COVID-19. These academics are paired with professional editors who operate in separate teams in nine countries across the world and publish in four languages: English, French, Spanish and Indonesian. Everything we publish is written by an expert and carefully checked by an editor. And if any errors do slip through that process we are absolutely committed to correcting them prominently and promptly. That’s how we ensure that even as the virus spreads we aren’t contributing to a secondary infection of misinformation. So far this year our global academic network has produced dozens of invaluable articles from leading experts free to read and free for other media outlets to quote and republish. Early on in the outbreak, one of Australia’s leading infectious disease experts explained how the virus actually causes illness and why that could lead to death in some people. Some of our leading scientists working on a vaccine explained why its production would take so long. And we had a group of experts explain why it was toilet paper, and not beans or rice, that was being stockpiled by panicked shoppers. We’ve published so much on COVID-19 we’ve decided it’s time we gave you a little more help navigating to the articles you most need. This week we’ve launched a regular weekly update of our coverage that will be written by one of our global team of Health Editors. The first was written by UK Health and Medicine Editor Clint Witchalls. He provides a great summary of how the situation has evolved and says the easiest way to stay abreast of our global coverage is to keep an eye on our daily newsletter where we’ll feature these weekly global wrap-ups, or on our dedicated COVID-19 page. Please tell your friends about us so they can sign up too. And in the meantime wash your hands regularly, only follow bona fide advice, and don’t worry too much. A leading microbiologist at the University of Navarra in Spain says we have never been more prepared to fight a pandemic. - Misha Ketchell, Editor, The Conversation

17.01.2022 Unless you've sat in the public gallery at Redland City Council, you probably wouldn’t have realised how much their meetings resemble church services. So we tho...ught we’d share with you some highlights from recent meetings. As we reported earlier in the week, although 40% of citizens who live in the Redlands shire south-east of Brisbane are not Christian, councillors are insisting that they can ignore their own council's inclusion policy and begin each meeting with exclusively Christian sermons and prayers. We think this is not on. We’re calling on Redland City Council to introduce a more inclusive and representative opening to official meetings. In fact, we know that meetings at many councils include prayers. Sectarian prayers go against the spirit of our Constitution, which states that our government should not make laws for imposing religious observances. If you agree with us, SHARE this video with your friends! This is the latest post in our #SecularGovernment campaign which is shining a spotlight on religious privilege in our elected government institutions. Do you live in the Redland council area and want to see prayer removed from council meetings? We encourage you to start a petition or contact your local councillor: https://bit.ly/2CxJtka #SecularGovernment #EndReligiousPrivilege

13.01.2022 Trees are also vital, they provide homes for many wildlife, prevent erosion, give us shade, filter our air, create beautiful spaces and so much more. Let's cele...brate these treasures today during International Day of Forests. Photo credit: Tree - Hannah Jones Rainbow lorikeet, - Chris Booker Flying fox - James Chadwich.

09.01.2022 It is easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism.

03.01.2022 If you value Widespread community involvement in determining the future of the Redlands. Sustainable economic development. Respect for our natural environment.

02.01.2022 Smoke not cloud, villages around Bowral have been decimated today. And tonight I’ve started moving paintings out of my studio. My studio runs a 3 phase 24kw sol...ar system, batteries and I drive an electric car. I’ve done my bit, I’ve fought the climate fight personally, in my own back yard. I did not take a backward step. I made the money to relieve pressure on the grid, make all my own power, help the flailing environment. And you’re in Hawaii Scomo? You’re fucking serious? I think most Australians will stand up for their backyards. We want to be leaders, we want to lead the debate and ignite the change and if 1.3 percent doesn’t save the world we can sure as hell say we tried. You’re weak as piss if you use the excuse that you’re too small to make a difference. My children are scared of the fire tonight. I’ve taught them to stand up for what’s right in their playground, even if the difference they make is tiny. Walking away? Not in my family Scomo. Tomorrow my children will be again working out ways to help solve the problem, and they will stand up. See more

01.01.2022 So there’s lots of people from the health service telling everyone that washing your hands is the best way to defeat Covid-19, but lots of people (most?) seem t...o think that this is a bit silly. Heres why washing your hands is SO important, and how it can defeat a virus that’s causing so much havoc worldwide?? Well here’s the science bit, because I’m a nerd who likes to know why something happens. The outer wall of a virus is made of lipids, they’re kinda like oils or fats, that’s a simple way of putting it. It’s called a lipid layer. Behind the lipid layer is the virus, it’s made up of proteins and RNA, which is kinda like DNA and it’s what lets the virus replicate. That’s really it, it’s that simple (unless you have a PhD and there’s a few on here with them, but this is for the rest of us who are a bit thick!). So, what about the washing of hands with soap?? Here’s the part that nobody is being told, but it’s important (it’s especially important if your a nerd ). Soap is made up of loads and loads of lipids, it what makes soap feel so soft and smooth.... When you wash your hands really well you get all these lipids on your hands. So if you have Covid-19 on your hands the lipids in the virus wall start to break down, because the lipids in the virus lipid layer are soluble in the lipids in your soap on your hands. So when you break down the lipid layer you end up destroying the proteins and the RNA. It’s kinda like years ago when your Da used to clean a paintbrush with turpentine, it’s because the paint was soluble in turpentine.....it’s really that simple. Also, people are searching high and low for antibacterial soap....don’t bother. This is a virus, not a bacteria. Also, antibacterial soap is really just expensive soap. I’ve attached a pic of a virus, it’s a flu one but it doesn’t really matter. Break down the lipid layer with lipids in soap and you’ll kill the virus. You’re welcome. Feel free to share.
