"We will always persevere." ✊🏾 Powerful words from #Bindi by @SaundersKirli.
Last night, @archieroach performed 'Took the Children Away' at the virtual 2020 ARIA Awards as he was inducted into the Hall of Fame. Congratulations to Archie on his induction and this incredibly moving, must-watch performance. theage.com.au/culture/music/…
Elated to hear the news that Dr Kylie Moore-Gilbert has been freed from prison. Dr Moore-Gilbert was the @PENMelbourne Empty Chair at this year's festival. We stand in solidarity with the courageous writers who do not share the fundamental human right of freedom of expression.

Watch the trailer for @jessradio’s See What You Made Me Do documentary series, expanding on the award-winning book of the same name. The investigation into domestic abuse will premiere on @SBS in 2021. Content may be distressing to some viewers.
And that's a wrap! Our first exclusively online festival, broadcast live from the Dome @geelonglibrary. We send our heartfelt thanks to our presenters and facilitators and a huge THANKS to you, our audience for joining us for the ride. #w4w2020 #lifechanging
Great session @_AstridEdwards_ @Jacinta_Parsons @doctorhitchcock with David McCoey 👏🏽@DeakinArtsEd
The silver lining of the bushfires? For us to learn from it - it is not the time for arrogance or ignorance. @kailaswild in #inournature panel at #w4w2020
Great discussion among @KeneallyMeg @leahkam @clairegcoleman David Maurice Smith @kailaswild at @WordforWordFest In Our Nature on wildlife, colonialism, writing as activism and the power of images #lifechanging
Can writing and photography be a form of activism? @kailaswild @KeneallyMeg @leahkam @clairegcoleman discuss as part of #inournature #w4w2020 #lifechanging
People who are susceptible to rational arguments about conservation have already heard them...we needed emotional arguments and images help people connect emotionally. #w4w2020 #lifechanging #inournature #animalsmakeushuman
"if I go somewhere and there's a curlew I'll see it. They're there for me" @clairegcoleman #InOurNature @WordforWordFest #LifeChanging #W4W2020
Just about to attend this! Excited
Just about to attend this! Excited
Very strong theme of accountability in this @WordforWordFest conversation. Accountability of the legal profession to keep the court room safe, accountability of those who knew, but said nothing and accountability of those who abused. #W4W2020

It's a huge ethical dilemma in science: gene editing. Sounds like a sci-fi - but it's not fiction anymore. "This was an ethical line many other people had not wanted to cross... there was alarm and surprise when we all realised someone had just done it." @eben_kirksey #TheDrum
Who gets to decide what is a good gene, and what is a bad gene? Thank you to @ABCthedrum for having me on the show to talk about eugenics and CRISPR gene editing.

Mal Chambers' painting of me was not selected as finalist in the #archibaldprize - but I'm honoured to have been painted. I hope it hangs in a gallery to showcase appearance diversity and so kids with Ichthyosis can see someone like them, because representation matters.
#TheSmartWife - @jennykennedy and my book proposing a reboot for Amazon products like Alexa - is in top #10 "best sellers" for AI and HCI on Amazon. Not sure how I feel about that...🤔
