- Thrilled to see my paper with @miambloom.bsky.social and @sophiamoskalenko.bsky.social assigned to an issue. Next paper with Mia was accepted this week too. Not bad for a week with a respiratory infection! Read open access here: bit.ly/3DHMJsX

- Massive thanks to the Faculty of ABLE for funding my project w/ Michele Jarldorn as a part of the New Horizons grants!

- Today, I was a proud mentor! My two BCrim (Honours) students defended their thesis proposals and did a fantastic job! Very excited to help them develop these projects over the coming months!
- Given the Trump administration's deleting trans from federal stats, re-sharing my paper with @miambloom.bsky.social and @sophiamoskalenko.bsky.social, where we show the dangerous spillover into extremism from political marginalisation of the LGBTQ+ community! www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
- It was an absolute pleasure to be a plenary speaker at the ABLE HDR conference yesterday, where I spoke about building your best PhD experience and the work I do with @acjsdocsummit.bsky.social ! The future is bright with these Adelaide graduate students!

- Journal Editors: if your submission system shows authors when required reviews are back, maybe don't wait TWO MONTHS and still not make a decision about the paper (especially when you demand reviews back from unpaid reviewers in far less time)??? @elsevierconnect.bsky.social
- What a great way to connect academic research with practitioners, policymakers, and public audiences! Consider submitting to @JMssVlncRsrch today!

- It seems fitting that our paper showing the relationship between race in salience for prosecuting Jan 6th insurrections was placed into an issue shortly after the MAGA Trump administration decided to pardon all involved... journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

- New research, with Mia Bloom and Sophia Moskalenko, documents extremist convergence around targeting the global LGBTQ+ community. This really should be warning for practitioners and policymakers of emerging threats. @adelaidecybercrime.bsky.social www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
- Two grant proposals, one Ethics app, and a new paper submitted all within 72 hours! I'm EXHAUSTED but starting to feel excited for ACJS! What better way to relax than to go feed a tiger this morning!? Self-care comes in many forms (but I like time at the zoo!)!
