You know what I really love doing? I love diving into survey results. I love looking at pretty graphs and figures and open text answers, and working out which bits related to other bits and running waaaaaay too many analyses on the numbers. I am mentioning this because the ALIA member survey went out to all personal and institutional members on Monday - and I would love to encourage all ALIA members to respond so that I can play with the pretty data. If you need an incentive other than making me happy - the survey directly leads into our strategic planning for the year, so if you want us to do something, stop doing something, change how we are doing something, this is a good way of making that happen. If you are an ALIA member and you have definitely checked your junk mail and you still can't see the survey, please just email enquiry@alia.org.au. And if you are not a member but you really want to take part in the survey - join up! (worth a shot;) Thanking you all in advance.

Spring's here... But how fast does it sweep across the UK? 🌸 This visualisation isn't your typical speedometer. It measures something far more fascinating: the speed that spring rolls up the UK. Chris Love used The Woodland Trust Nature's Calendar data - like sightings of buzzing bees, nesting birds, and blooming wildflowers - to model how fast spring moves. Dive deeper and see for yourself how spring unfolds across the UK: https://til.bi/3x32XJm

#WorldMentalHealthDay Since I've opened up about my own workplace nightmare (within the confines of a NDA - and that's another issue!) I have heard story after story of people abused, bullied, threatened, assaulted, ostracised, burned out and exposed to the most awful things in their workplaces. We should all be safe at work, and supported to report risks, hazards and incidents. Reporting is a safety mechanism and should not mean losing your job. I'm convening a roundtable at the upcoming AAS Conference for the AnthroSafety Working Group. "Securing Our Fields: Toward Safer Research and Practice" "Exploring and advancing workplace safety for anthropologists across the spectrum of research and professional engagements. This roundtable will include presentations from the AAS AnthroSafety Working Group and the CNTA Safety & Risk in Professional Native Title (Anthropology) Working Group (SRPNT(A)). We'll be discussing physical and psychological workplace safety and, practical risk mitigation strategies for our research and professional practice field sites. Presentations will be followed by a panel discussion considering specific opportunities for action in a variety of professional settings." It'd be great to see you there. In the interim this is a great page to explore, NSW Code of Practice: Managing psychosocial hazards at work: https://lnkd.in/gTjCiNSD

Make the world more predictable and safe Understanding day to day processing requires an understanding of neuroscience. Our biologies make us cautious and in need of predictability. We also need to have a sense of control over our mind and body. In contrast many people struggle to understand a world that is chaotic and uncertain. This specialist event is open to all and will focus on strategies help people create a sense of predictability. #chaos #stress #mentalhealth #pda #adhd #autism #autistic #neurodiversity #psychology #education #teachers #families
