We are hiring a postdoctoral researcher at CSIRO with a focus on food system transitions framed by resilience and sustainability frameworks and using participatory systems modelling approaches. If you know a good candidate, please share the position jobs.csiro.au/job/Brisbane%2…

Dr Michalis Hadjikakou is a 2023 VIC Young Tall Poppy. His research quantifies the environmental footprint of current and future diets and food production methods, enabling comparisons of potential emerging solutions such as plant-based proteins and regenerative farming methods.

A sad result for Australia tonight. The strong correlation with education is telling. #VoiceToParliament #YES2023

With more data in, Age and Education of residents still explain ~70% of the variations in the Yes Vote % across the electorates. Here is a cleaner table, including the univariate models, and also one with almost everything (removed income, it was causing multicollinearity).

I recently had a great chat with Dr Shane Huntington OAM at 3rrrfm about our my work with the The George Institute for Global Health on food #sustainability and #environmentalfootprints. Thanks to #TallPoppy @aipolsci for the wondeful opportunity. Click here to listen to the interview: rrr.org.au/on-demand/segm…

"Academia often fails to recognize the important work that supports its functioning, such as mentoring and teaching performed by postdoctoral researchers...opportunities exist to improve the status quo." journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

#COP28UAE president implied phasing out fossil fuels would send us back to the caves. Scientific studies show the opposite, unless we are heading for the caves to cool off during the next excruciating heatwave or to find shelter when the next tropical cycle hits 👇🌍🌡

I'm absolutely delighted to have been awarded one of this year's Deakin University VC Awards for mid-career research excellence. A special thanks to all my PhD students and research collaborators! credly.com/badges/abdc8f7…

To those who opposed a clear reference to phase out of fossil fuels during the #COP28 Climate Conference, I want to say: Whether you like it or not, fossil fuel phase out is inevitable. Let’s hope it doesn’t come too late.

A lot of people ask me about my top #ClimateAction tips. While the key lies in systemic change and #deeptransformation, there is a lot we can do as individuals. Well, this list from the The Guardian makes for a great start to 2024!

Our new paper in Earth's Future, led by Reihaneh Bandari, shows how to make connections between sustainability goals and what regional communities really care about through participatory systems modelling agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

“Findings provide a rationale to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of using population-based and public-health measures to target and reduce dietary exposure to ultra-processed foods...” Reviews involved 9.9 mil people. None funded by UPF companies. theguardian.com/society/2024/f…

‘Bewildering’ to omit meat-eating reduction from UN climate plan - Academic experts also criticise UN Food and Agriculture Organization for dismissing alternative proteins #ClimateCrisis Story by me theguardian.com/environment/20…

Delighted to be representing Deakin SEBE today in Canberra for Science Meets Parliament! #SMP2024

Our new study led by alliegaines and published Nature Food yesterday shows that small food swaps even among very similar products can substantially reduce the environmental impact of our diets nature.com/articles/s4301…

Delighted to be part of this great research led by alliegaines published in Nature Food ! Small changes to alternative food products can reduce GHG emissions by 25%. More ambitious shifts can reduce emissions further (-71%). nature.com/articles/s4301… #sustainablediets #GHG
