The language we use to talk about ADHD matters - it has real consequences for people with ADHD/ADHDers. This paper has been a long time in the making, so very glad to see it out in the world and very grateful for having such an amazing team work on it ❤️

Scientists have linked fossil fuel companies to specific climate harms for the first time, with five Australian oil, gas and coal companies potentially responsible for $900bn in loss and damage from extreme heat alone. Latest from me in The Guardian this morning.

Cost of emissions from five major Australian resource companies more than $900bn, study finds

US researchers link BHP, Rio Tinto, Santos, Whitehaven Coal and Woodside Energy to specific climate harms over three decades

If you want *genuine* positive progress for the environment & climate (why wouldn't you?), then you can vote for that, by voting Greens/Teals/sensible Independents. Preferential voting means *no vote is wasted*. The major parties are both ecocidal, to varying degrees www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

#auspol climate/enviro protection are no brainers for priorities imo

To quote Peter van Offandonagain ‘The future of The Liberal Party in one photo’

One consequence of tolerating pseudoscience is that people die when its legitimatization becomes baked into our culture, health care systems, and institutions.

It’s Friday! Steve’s productivity is at an all time high.

Vaccines don’t cause autism. Vaccines aren’t even associated with autism. The biggest predictor of autism? GENETICS. We have decades of data and millions of data points that to show this. This lie insults people with autism too — as if it’s an “adverse effect” of medicine. 1/

Brad is telling Steve do shenanigans. Steve is probably going to do them.

Want to avoid the utter carnage unfolding under a Trump-Musk government being replicated in Australia? Don’t elect Temu Trump (aka Peter Dutton). That doesn’t mean you need to put Labor first though! Use *preferential voting* to best reflect your values and politics.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

I think the best thing about this - which was a tough call - is that the (magnificent) tesla ripoff looks like it's been deliberately parked there

Ro Salarian@rosalarian.bsky.social · last yr.

In my city there is one cybertruck and one DIY parody of a cybertruck and the parody truck has become a local celebrity. Meanwhile, I always wish I had some rotten eggs to throw at the tesla whenever I see it.

We're shocked by Trump and Musk's antics because we judge them against the idea that governments should serve the people. But they have no such intention. Government for them is simply about seizing power and wealth. Let's stop being shocked, and build a global, democratic counter-movement.

Millions of Australians are being forced deeper into poverty as the ultra-rich get much, much richer. They use the same roads & bridges that we do, yet they pay a lower tax rate than the middle class does. Demand the rich pay their fair share of taxes! #auspol #ClassWar #TaxTheRich #Election2025

Our #LoveData25 celebration continues… 🌎💘 Today, we explore how open data practices drive social impact. Dr. Ji-Ping Lin's Taiwan Indigenous Peoples Open Research Data brought greater visibility to Indigenous communities, leading to policy improvements. Read our Q&A: www.cos.io/blog/rese...

Researcher Q&A: A Conversation About Research on Taiwan Indigenous Peoples and Making a Hard-to-Reach Population Visible

Taiwan Indigenous Peoples (TIPs) are a branch of Polynesian-Malaysian (or Austronesian) ethnic groups in a genetic and linguistic context. There was a rich body of ethnographic, official, and academic records on TIPs before 1940. However, the period of 1940–2000 was a data “Dark Ages” for TIPs due to political reasons. This lack of data marginalized them, making it seem like they were disappearing. In 2000, Taiwan resumed its general population census, and I participated and delved into the indigenous data.
