Power Shift, 23rd-25th September 2022, #Meanjin / #Brisbane
"a 3-day, high-energy, youth climate summit bringing together hundreds of young people to build relationships and learn vital skills to take action for climate justice."
If you're in #Meanjin/Brisbane, or not too far, there's a great, super-cheap conference on research + digital skills at UQ at the end of November: ResBaz QLD 2021. Probably my favourite, relaxed, small conference.
Lots of great talks and workshops, especially related to early-career researchers, #eResearch, #openSource tools, #OpenScience, #skillSharing... 💗
I've been more or less involved in them over the years. I really recommend joining.
Space 4 Cycling's latest weekly digest on a map:

I started doing this every week on uMap as I want to be able to place this useful information spatially.
Hopefully it's useful to others in the #Meanjin area!

With the recent addition of the Elizabeth st bike path, and the closing of Victoria bridge to cars, there's new opportunities to ride around the city.
Check out what cycling-friendly routes you can explore around you. My favourite map for that is this rendering of #OSM data:

Long shot, but one of my fiends / ex-colleague is in limbo regarding jobs, she is awesome at @rstats and anything related to #OpenScience, #FAIRData, image analysis and processing, and #bioinformatics. If you hear about anything in and around #Meanjin / #Brisbane, or remote, please let me know.

Our local councillor (Greens, first one elected in #Queensland) gets served a Supreme Court Order by the police at 1 am so he can’t attend a protest later that day.
The protest is for 120 refugees being unjustly detained in an inner #Meanjin/Brisbane hotel. It was postponed because of fear of the police response.
#florespondence from #Meanjin:
What I assumed was a Walking-stick palm, but turns out to be a Cordyline sp. (fruticosa??), flowers for the first time, after coping with the tiniest of pots for years.
Also, the Birds of paradise and the Passion fruit are being very showy.
I like the weird, the kind, the beautiful. Sustainability, plants, the Commons, open research, citizen science, RStats, maps, active transport.
