I had another great opportunity to talk about the risks involved in informal sperm donation, especially the risks to women. Thanks to the ABC and background briefing with Annika Blau and Tynan King.

Craig used Facebook to make a baby with strangers, then came torment
Those powering Facebook's sperm exchange say they want options and they want control. But in this unregulated space, it's not always clear who's in control and who isn't.

Should I change my name to Natalie?

Are academics more likely to answer emails from ‘Melissa’ or ‘Rahul’? The answer may not surprise you
As our research shows, Australian academics responded differently to potential PhD students, depending on the racial background of their name.

The UK #assisteddying bill has to be the strictest in world? This is ridiculous. Absolutely crushing for those who wish to die with dignity.

What is assisted dying and how could the law change?
