Beyond Certainty – what does ‘Discovery’ mean in an open and AI world This Symposium will bring together thought leaders across different areas to share ideas and provocations regarding discovery implications.

I’ll be making a video appearance at this symposium, alongside @aj-boston.bsky.social, speaking about AI, ethics, and reclaiming agency. The whole programme looks amazing, and if time zones weren’t a thing, I’d be there live for all of it! 📚 #AcademicSky

#AHECS done. Post-conference down-time recipe awaits....

#AHECS Day Two - Having fun talking to vendors today, now that the presentation is out of the way.

So, not a disaster. Always nice when that happens. 🙂

Anna Aquilina from UTS at #AHECS talking about risks and dependencies around the critical infrastructure in the oceans and the atmosphere, the satellites and deep sea cables.

My #AHECS presentation is due to start in 40 minutes. Fingernails already bitten to the quick... time to start gnawing to the knuckle....

Vicky Cheng and Nicola O'Brien talking at #AHECS how UTS is collaborating between different defence/response and awareness teams...

Frank Den Hartog in this #AHECS panel wishes cybersecurity posture to be included in the OH&S section of academic promotion applications. 🤩

Nicola O'Brien (UTS ) in this #AHECS panel commented that it is very difficult to engage via text....people don't read more than a ten word headline. Disappointingly, she declared that she has no intention to become a security influencer on TikTok 😆but did give props to the UTS social media team.

#AHECS panel discussion: Example given of an Aotearea/NZ institution which actively reports back to individuals who are the first to report a phishing attempt, detailing the positive (or damage limiting) effect their action has had.
