Wow

So Professor Joanne Arturiy is from the University of Flinders in Australia, and she can tell us a bit more about the dogs

Researchers are wondering whether it might have something to do with the shape of your mouth when you make certain sounds.

So when you say bouba, your mouth is making more rounded shapes, whereas when you say kiki, the mouth is not making round shapes, if that makes sense.

There's obviously, you know, there's a cost associated with all these mitigation measures

Charlie Huveneers is a professor of marine ecology at Flinders University

But, you know, we can see the progress that has happened from 20 years ago to, to where we are now with various state investing in these mitigation measures

He explains that includes reducing the overlap between people and sharks, such as warning people when a shark is near.

We are at a point now that we can reduce the risks.

The risk is still very, very low at the end of the day, but I can certainly understand why people that go to the beach frequently and in areas where sharks occurs are getting to the point of, you know, being a bit fed up by just hearing, "Oh, yeah, the risk is low, don't worry about it." Because the reality is that for these people, while the, the overall risk is low, the more you expose yourself to that risks, the more it's, it's potentially likely to happen at some point

Flinders University Professor Charlie Huveneers ending that report by Isabelle Moussalli and Brianna Melville.

After almost eight months orbiting the Earth on the International Space Station, four astronauts have safely returned back home overnight.

I'm awfully excited about her.

Intifar Chowdhury is a lecturer in government at the Jeff Blyke Center for Democracy and Disruptive Technologies at Flinders University.

Intifar is a glorious writer, a provocative and fecund writer.

Intifar, we've been looking for an opportunity to have you on the show for ages.

Likewise.

Loved it.

Intifar Chowdhury, lecturer in government at Flinders University, our guest for this week's Minefield.

We're now at an end.

Uh, Ben's written a new book, uh, called Lunacy: Ten False Promises of the New Space Age, that explores the most common ways we're told that we're going to take to the stars, and if the first word of the title didn't clue you in, he doesn't think that it's in our best interests.

We're also joined tonight by Associate Professor Alice Gorman from Flinders University.

Alice is an internationally recognized space archeologist and the author of, uh, Dr.

Space Junk vs. the Universe: Archaeology and the Future.

Nightlife [upbeat music] with Philip Clark on ABC Radio.

I'm talking with Dr. Ben Bramble from the Australian National University.

He's written a book called Lunacy: 10 False Promises of the New Space Age, and Associate Professor Alice Gorman from Flinders University too.

Uh, both space thinkers and experts about what we are, what humans are doing in space.

I am a clinical pharmacist based in South Australia.

I lead a reproductive and perinatal pharmacoepidemiology research group based at Flinders University.

We're going to spend most of the time talking about Heinz's paper, but I do want to set a little bit of background for all of our generists.

So we've understood the association between iron deficiency and bone density for a couple of decades now, but even that is not straightforward, as demonstrated in a massive longitudinal study from Denmark, also just published recently in Hematologica.

We're calling them cracks and pops and stuff and it's pretty alien sounding.

Alex Taylor studies ecology at Flinders University in Adelaide, Australia.

His team recently published new research that uses super sensitive microphones to listen to and analyse different kinds of soil.

When they listened to healthy and biodiverse soil...
