A few weeks back @jones_ann asked me a seemingly straightforward question which immediately sent me into a spiral.
Come wade into the muddy waters with us as we attempt to answer the question “what is a species?”

Incredible to join tens of thousands in Naarm/Melbourne to march for Voice, Treaty, Truth. When we listen to people about the decisions that affect them, we get better results. It's time to listen #Yes23 @yes23au

MAJOR UPDATE: All planetary boundaries are assessed, and six are crossed.
For the first time ever, scientists have quantified all nine planetary boundaries. Six of them are already transgressed and we are increasing pressure on the others.

The question of who has access to public funding for #EggFreezing is complicated. But if access is to be limited, the criteria determining this must be fair, consistent and justified, and not based on arbitrary distinctions #abc730
Earlier this week 7.30 brought you a story about egg freezing & questioned whether the procedure is as simple as some ads suggests. Tonight we ask if egg freezing should be covered by Medicare after women have been dipping into their super to afford it. #abc730 @RhiannonShine
