If the US is willing to ignore Europe in its dealings with Russia and Ukraine, who seriously thinks they will care what Australia says about China, Taiwan or anything to do with our region? The US doesn’t want allies or partners, it wants servants. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

I do love graduations. Today we saw Dr Sophia Gilchrist graduate from her PhD. I had so much fun supervising Sophia alongside my wonderful colleague John Power.

ANS24 in Perth this week. A fantastic meeting, well done to the LOC. Great to see old and meet new friends. I had the privilege of giving the Elspeth McLachlan Plenary - an honour I share with an amazing team and wonderful collaborators. Looking forward to Hobart 2025.
