The Window Is Closing: Why Leaders Need Strategic Foresight Now

This book is fantastic and it is FREE! link.springer.com/book/10.10… "Teaching Medicine and Medical Ethics Using Popular Culture" A great look into how people learn how they *think* medicine should be practised from watching TV.

Hi Twitter-that-was peeps. I’m putting together an “impact portfolio” so if any of you have used my research in the classroom or similar it would be great if you could let me know! #ectogenesis #spaceethics #publichealth #assisteddying

It’s up! @ConversationEDU article on the practical and ethical issues of lunar mining with the brilliant @astroduff ! theconversation.com/humans-w… @Swinburne

Humans will soon be able to mine on the Moon. But should we? 4 questions to consider

Imagine you’ve worked 12 hours in hot and dirty conditions. Some of your co-workers have collapsed or been injured. You wish you could just get another job. But you can’t. You’re stuck in space.

A sincere apology to every person I went on a first date with during my PhD, who was absolutely subjected to an “uninvited talk.” 😂
Neil Renic@NC_Renic11 Oct 2024
Add "uninvited talks" to your academic CV - when you shared your research with a person against their will
