August 28, 2022 447: David Knoff's Mental Health and Resilience Techniques learned through 537 days of Antarctic Covid Lockdown
David Knoff is an Antarctic Expedition Leader, an Author, and a leadership expert who specialises in remote leadership, hostile environment diplomacy, and resilience.
He served with the Australian Army and has been deployed to diplomatic postings in both Pakistan & Iraq.
When the COVID-19 pandemic broke out, David was Station Leader at Davis Station, Antarctica, where he was leading a team of just 24 through the isolation of an Antarctic winter.
A 365 day rotation turned into a 537 day stay, navigating the tension, the anxiety and the challenges of not knowing how long they’d be stuck there, or when someone would come for them.
The book is called 537 Days of Winter - and well worth the read, taking in an Emergency Medical Evacuation, Stifling Isolation and even Dress-Ups.

August 21, 2022 446: Why you don't have free will, and that's OK - with Prof George Paxinos
Professor George Paxinos, AO is a leading global neuroscientist who studied at Berkeley, McGill in Canada and Yale and is Professor of Medical Sciences at NeuRA and the University of New South Wales, Sydney.

George has mapped more parts of the brain than anyone in history.

He has a remarkable understanding of how we as humans react to our environment - and indeed how in altering our environment we have changed not only our planet but also our ability to choose a different path. To explore this concept - after a career of publishing some of the most successful and referenced scientific books of all time, George has written his first novel.

A River Divided explores the not-too-much-of-a-stretch scenario where a geneticist clones Christ, twice.

The twin boys grow up in entirely different environments, one in middle class Sydney and the other in the slums of Buenos Aires.
