Day 2’s keynote at #RAILS2025 was @lisagiven.bsky.social - tasking about and giving published examples of #transdisciplinary goodies which I greedily grabbed photos of and frantically noted. Now this practitioner and part time PhD candidate needs to find the time to read it all…. 😆

Interesting timing reading this while attending today's Symposium #AIBeyond2025 "In the age of false information, we all need a good BS detector. Here’s how to sort facts from harmful fiction" author Professor Tony Haymet Australia's Chief Scientist www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

#aibeyond2025 - @heroicendeavour.bsky.social speaks to "Reclaiming agency in the new world of AI" and whether we as individuals are a passenger or a pilot in this space. Discussion of AI Determinism and whether the encouraged adoption of a new tool fits our library requirements.

#aibeyond2025 - @aj-boston.bsky.social discusses the variation of views and opinions between AI evangelists and AI atheists and how, despite *however much we may want to*, we can't simply avoid discussion of "AI".

Attending @deakinuniversity.bsky.social's #aibeyond2025. Listening to @mcintold.bsky.social and playing identify-the-library with her slides. 😆 (Naturally my favourite was @bodleian.ox.ac.uk's Old Bod.)

It's in-person only, but if you happen to be in Canberra in early November... #academicsky #digihums #digitalhumanities

#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.

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...

#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.

At #AHECS, Steph de Hoog, CQ university, was talking identity, mentioning that it's no longer just about humans but also machine identity. Interestingly, identity as a responsibility appears to be moving from their traditional place in operational control to being a cybersecurity responsibility.

James Kay of ASD suggests in his keynote that we'll be dealing with a post-quantum cryptographic world in 2030, so we need to start tightening the security of critical datasets now.

Starting off the day at the #AHECS Security Summit - www.ahecs.edu.au/events/ahecs...

Ah. Yes. Today is my yearly reminder that I need more purple options in my wardrobe.... #wearitpurple

We recently wrapped up our Year 2 (1 May 2024-30 April 2025) progress report for our funders This was a mammoth undertaking as we had so much to share! There's 140+pages ... Just want to read the highlights? 👀 🔗 buff.ly/iUVgleX @ukri.org

Browsing through JALIA for something else entirely, I came across this piece on the role of librarianship in the #performingarts. It's worth a read, and I (even though we are more visible) could see parallels with academic librarians supporting researchers. #skybrarians doi.org/10.1080/2475...
