A new report led by Michael Dezuanni, Kim Osman and Lynrose Jane Genon has been released today on "Young Australians' perspectives on the social media minimum age legislation". www.crikey.com.au/20... Cam Wilson at Crikey has covered the report and its findings.

Loving the resistance to extractive research, and a deep commitment to relational research in the 'Research as Relationship: Rethinking Communication Methods' session. Some wonderful discussion in the shared Q&A after 4 super engaging papers. #aanzca25 #aanzca2025

Love the deep warmth and humour of today's Welcome to Country at #aanzca2025 - thanks Uncle Linden! Connection to 60000 years of communication in this place, and the influence of the land on language and culture.

If you have ever used my work in your research and/or teaching and want to say nice things about it, I am currently working on a promotion app and would love some quotable evidence of research impact beyond citation counts! Reply, DM, email all great. Thanks!
