Great line up of Aussie artists at Rochford winery yesterday topped off by Crowded House (who we’ve adopted from across the ditch) - afternoon was big too hot and v sunny but like most has a big hat, sunscreen and drank lots of water

Pollies look after themselves: Parliament House is so well ventilated - only 550 ppm CO2 in a room with dozens of people. If only this were true for all public spaces we’d be much healthier #AusPol

Such high levels of CO2 on busses! (3838ppm) How is this OK? No wonder passengers fall asleep - but what about the drivers? How can they stay alert - It’s double the safe level for working. Let alone the Covid risk! We were the only ones wearing masks (respies) @airspotrob.bsky.social

Finally in IRL! With @brendancrabb.bsky.- got to ‘know’ each other on the other place and had one zoom but this is the 1st time in the flesh- at the Australian Academy of Science

Looks great. We had a paper on this in 1998 - grew seedlings at eCo2, High and Low N - and the flow on effects of photosynthetic acclimation for nitrogenous specialised metabolites doi.org/10.1046/j.13...

Impressed with the ventilation in the conference centre in Antwerp. This was in the plenary hall (admittedly not sitting near crowds). Even over lunch it was only 800ppm #SEBconference #CovidIsNotOver
