Thank you to Julie Ripon who alerted me to this well regarded and well edited website.The Conversation was launched earlier this year and is an independent source of information and analysis from the university and research sector.It basically is a series of discussions between leading academics and major public figures in Australian life.Content partners include the Australian Group of Eight Universities as well as the University of Technology,Sydeny,CSIRO and the Australian Science Media Centre.
It is a site that can be trusted.All published work carries attribution of the author's expertise and if relevant, states if there is a conflict of interest. The content is divided up into the following areas:
- Business/economy
- Environment/Energy
- Health/Medicine
- Politics/Society
- Science/Technology
You can also chose from a variety of hot topics.
Hear why Peter Doherty,Nobel Laureate and former Australian of the Year supports The Conversation
Students can access The Conversation via the ISC VLA.
