World-first solar thermal demonstrator targets breakthrough for industry and agriculture

Using lightweight plastic mirrors to focus sunlight on a specific target to create the necessary heat needed for industrial processes

Industrial process heat accounts for a staggering 25% of global energy use and 20% of CO2 emissions

Phase 1 will see two full-scale models built.

Phase 2- commercial-scale pilot tested with key partners

A new Aussie study reveals why a magnesium-rich diet is vital for our health, lowering the risk of DNA damage and chronic diseases. Researchers from the University of South Australia found a strong link between low magnesium and high levels of the genotoxic amino acid homocysteine, which can increase susceptibility to Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, various cancers, and diabetes. #Health #Magnesium #AussieResearch #DNAProtection #ChronicDiseasePrevention #UniSA

Hung out with these awe-inspiring librarians today to chat about our favourite thing for an hour at #National24 (ALIA National), celebrating the #OER movement in Australasia and strategising our way around the challenges still ahead.

Katy Henry (CAUL) did an exceptional job facilitating our discussion while Sarah McQuillen discussed UniSA’s textbook minimisation project and navigating the barriers to integrating OER into course materials, Angie Williamson shared Deakin’s approach to ensuring quality and reliability in OER publishing, and Jennifer Hurley (RMIT) gave guidance on the institutional supports required to build sustainable open educational practice.

I spoke about measuring impact beyond cost, referring to Sarah Lambert’s insightful work on the 3Rs of social justice.

What a wonderful start to the conference! I can’t wait to dive into the other Open Ed sessions throughout the week 🤩 And am particularly keen to check out Emilia (emi-lee-ah) Bell’s session tomorrow giving us a glimpse into their PhD research “Open to diplomacy? Libraries, knowledge, and global challenges”.

P.S. Excited speaker landyard pic included because aahhh! What a vibe today!

Ah! I did a thing! And I’m going to be completely uncool about it because I’m so excited 🙈 This is my first double-blind peer reviewed paper (concise, but still counts!). I’m presenting it at the ASCILITE Conference in New Zealand next week 🥳🤓

For 4 years, from 2016 to 2020, we had a monthly literary coffee klatsch, rather along the lines of the Oxford #Inklings, where we discussed books we had read, and had more general discussions on the broad theme of Christianity and #literature.

It was a great joy to have Prof David Levey, of the English Department of the University of South Africa ( #Unisa ) at most of our meetings.

We had to stop meeting because of the #Covid19 #lockdown and a few months later David Levey died, though not of Covid. Though the lockdown has ended, we have not resumed our meetings.

Here is a memorial to Prof Levey, with links to some of the meetings where he contributed.

Welcome to my #introduction post! I mostly research #virtualheritage (#digitalheritage via XR, games) and serious games but also some #DigitalHumanities, teach #ArchitecturalHistory (and maybe #ArchitecturalTheory). In Adelaide South Australia, @ #UnISA, have taught in UK and NZ and worked in Denmark and Japan. Currently helping colleagues form projects for https://megacrc.com.au/ application. Looking to combine my love of game design workshops, coffee, books, and walking the dog.

#PHD project, no scholarship but no fees, with cool museum partner (https://mod.org.au): "investigate and design learning kits for museums, communities and small classes to create escape rooms either physical or hybrid, or via a game engine." https://unisa.edu.au/research/degrees/designing-an-escape-room-toolkit #MOD. #UNISA #Museum #EscapeRoom #SeriousGame
