Super interesting talk by @stevenbrenner.bsky.social in the #Bioinformatics session at #RNA2026. Calling attention to the fact that many students are using AI and allowing it to make decisions where they don't even know there is a decision to be made. #RNASky #Education #RNA26 1/2

Closing #SMP2026 with a conversation with Prof Hon Bill Shorten. He highlights that it is important to create safe spaces for true discussion to happen between people who disagree, without necessarily having to destroy each other. Considers that Universities could play that role.

Starting Day 2 of #SMP2026 with a call to scientists to become involved in guiding government priorities. Also, lots of discussion on 🇦🇺's dependency on supply chains and how STEM can help reduce dependency & increase resilience. Panel aware such advancements require adequate funding & less admin.

Development vs climate action is a false choice. In the agriculture sector, there are many actions that reduce climate pollution AND help farmers adapt to a changing climate. An underappreciated one is helping smallholders sustainably boost productivity, reducing ag land expansion & deforestation.
