Tracing human waste from taboo to treasure. - NewGenics: The new frontier of embryo testing. What happens when the hope for a healthy child becomes the pressure to choose the best one?

    Every time we flush, we send a valuable resource down the drain: phosphorus, one of the essential building blocks of life and a key ingredient in the fertiliser that grows the world's food, along with nitrogen and potassium.Meanwhile, we mine phosphate rock and potash, and generate climate pollution to manufacture ammonia (rich in nitrogen) to produce industrial fertiliser - essential for growing food to feed a hungry planetBut what if, instead of extracting our fertiliser in ways that damage the planet, we harnessed the waste our own bodies produce, feeding it back into the food chain, where it belongs?In this episode, host Angelica Ojinnaka-Psillakis traces how humans went from managing waste locally to flushing it away without a second thought. And with researchers Jordan Roods and Kerry Tozer, she explores the growing movement to recover nutrients from urine and turn them back into fertiliser — from university labs in Sydney, to a redesigned toilet prototype, and to a community-scale ‘peecycling’ program in Vermont.VoicesAngelica Ojinnaka-Psillakis — host; health and social researcherNicola Cama — historian, City of SydneyMichelle Maloney — legal scholar, advocate for earth-centred governanceKerry Tozer — doctoral researcher, Institute for Sustainable Futures, UTSJordan Roods — doctoral researcher, Institute for Sustainable Futures, UTSDana Cordell — associate professor, UTS; research supervisor to Kerry and JordanCara Beal — professor of environmental science and health; director, Cities Research Institute, Griffith UniversityAbe Noe-Hayes — Rich Earth Institute, VermontHave your sayJordan and Kerry have put together a short anonymous survey to hear what listeners think about urine recycling – "peecycling"! – and the problems it could solve.

    Live panel: Wikimedia Australia and Dr Terri Janke's guide to working with First Nations content responsibly
    2026/08/17
    How can Wikipedia editors work with Indigenous content in a responsible way?Hear a panel discussion with Indigenous lawyers Dr Terri Janke, Shavonne Wright, and Matilda Langford on the new Wikimedia Australia guide to respectful, accurate engagement with Indigenous knowledge.Oral knowledge can't be referenced under Wikipedia's own rules, and that hits Indigenous knowledge hardest. Most Australian editors are non-Indigenous, and our research found their confidence with Indigenous content varies widely.Hear how a new practical guide, developed with Wikimedia Australia and led by Dr Terri Janke, will support you to include and edit First Nations content on Wikipedia.Recorded live at WikiCon Australia 2026.Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP) and Indigenous Data Sovereignty GuideWikimedia Australia has adopted the Guide as organisational practice for our Board, staff and funded projects. We are also pleased to share it as recommended good practice for editors and contributors who want to engage responsibly with Indigenous content across Wikimedia projects.It's grounded in a set of clear values:Valuing relationships and accuracy over quantityRespecting Indigenous cultural authority and protocolsBeing transparent about what is shared on Wiki platformsSupporting Indigenous agency and authorshipAvoiding harmRather than prescribing rules, the Guide outlines a risk-assessment approach, helping contributors to think through whether the content in front of them is lower-risk (general, non-sensitive Indigenous content) or something that calls for a higher level of caution (culturally sensitive, secret or sacred, or offensive material), and steps to follow in each case.It provides guidance on reliable sources and citation, metadata and description. It also addresses free, prior and informed consent (FPIC) – the principle that communities have the right to make decisions about their own knowledge before it's used.Read the Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP) and Indigenous Data Sovereignty guide ‘The White Paper: the questions we’re still sitting with’The Guide gives practical direction. The CultureStrong White Paper is honest about what's unresolved.It examines where open licensing and customary law pull against each other, where the law is silent, and where the wider Wikimedia movement, not just in Australia but worldwide, needs to keep talking.It also looks ahead. It recommends developing a dedicated First Nations Protocol for Wikimedia Australia through a staged, Indigenous-led process shaped with communities, Knowledge Holders and Wikimedians.Such a Protocol would deliver what the editing community is asking for: scenario-based guidance that reflects the diversity of the 200-plus First Nations across the Australian continent, and offering a methodology other Wikimedia chapters could adapt internationally.Read the White PaperThe text above is from Wikimedia Australia’s Respecting First Nations knowledge on Wikimedia platformsVoicesHeather Ford is an ARC Future Fellow and Professor in the School of Communication and Social Sciences at UTS.

Students grew more appreciative of Wikipedia's verifiable sourcing, while criticizing AI outputs for inaccuracies, broken citations, and closely mirroring Wikipedia without attribution.
