As an OT, I thought my #academic husband was a hopeless case when he told me his work was his hobby. As an academic, looking forward to tucking into this book on my day off, I get it. #academicsky #cooperation #gametheory

Ever the optimist, I’m hoping they seize this opportunity with an announcement of a meaningful target today 🙏🤞😬

Come see my 3 minutes of glory (and some other stuff) at this summit in Naarm-Melbourne. If you come and introduce yourself, I’ll give you the longer version in the break ☕️ or over a drink at the networking event 🥂

Interesting review finding that practical advice and consideration of #diversity and #equity is lacking from many proposed frameworks for #consumer and #community engagement. #PPI onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

❤️ the suggestion of #restorative practice as a means for preparing for #codesign. It's crossed my mind more than once when engaging with #livedexperience perspectives on #mentalhealth services. Also remembering co-author, Hannah Friebel, & her contribution. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Great to see transparent evaluations of #capacitybuilding with #LivedExperience Researchers who are new to #research... and the capacity building work itself which shows meaningful commitment to inclusion of lived and living expertise in #healthresearch. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

#LivedExperience Researcher at @alivenational.bsky.social, Elise Dettmann, has written a reflection on our workshop at the recent #AAAPC2025 conference. It includes three of our favourite goals participants shared for expanding their #codesign practice. alivenetwork.com.au/reflections-...

No #bookweek #costumes for me these days 😔 but the whole #family are going to a #Medieval Murder Mystery night this weekend so I’m making us all cloaks from #upcycled blankets to keep warm. The family that cosplays together stays together? #cosplay

Sending off our @alivenational.bsky.social #AAAPC2025 workshop participants’ postcards today with their handwritten goals for expanding their #codesign practice. Two are going as far as Aotearoa New Zealand and the US! Looking forward to checking in with participants in a couple months.

Interesting podcast highlighting the value of #communityresilience to threats like #climatechange, #pandemics & economic precarity. A new wave of preppers is encouraging urban dwellers to be “country prepared”. Third time this week I’ve heard this topic raised. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Perfect end to Day 1 of #AAAPC2025 Thrilled so many chose to join me & my @alivenational.bsky.social colleagues for our workshop to reflect on their experiences of #codesign. Looking forward to checking in with them in a couple months to see how they went in expanding their codesign practice.

Aphasia affects millions of people worldwide. Awareness is low and Emma can tell you why this matters: shrs.uq.edu.au/article/2025... Can you help us launch the first international aphasia awareness campaign? Give what you can: www.justgiving.com/campaign/qar...

My favourite #truthbomb dropped by Danijela on the need for #codesign not #consulatation: "We may have been heard but our needs were not translated by policymakers."

This fantastic podcast, featuring Danijela Hlis #livedexperience advisory group member on the #ConversationsAboutCare project, covers gaps in #agedcare for culturally & linguistically diverse people & the impact of upcoming changes to #homecare packages. player.captivate.fm/episode/81b7...

It’s possible I got a little carried away creating the post-workshop survey return box for our upcoming workshop at the Australasian Association for #Academic #PrimaryCare Conference. Do join us if you’re keen to improve your #codesign practice… …or just want to appreciate my #craft 😜

Big day for the #ConversationsAboutCare team who kicked off their #codesign workshops with people who receive & deliver #agedcare. I didn’t realise that #OzzyOsbourne had died when I sent this GIF to the team beforehand but it seems fitting. Nothing is more metal than making yourself heard.
