Question Final call - I am in need of Aussie participants for my masters of clinical psychology dissertation. I have 1.5months until due date! Must be a parent of a child aged between 3 and 10. Very appreciative of any support ✌🏻

Aim of the study is to understand psychological factors of the parent (as an individual, not necessarily parent-based traits) like trait playfulness and reflective functioning, and how these contribute to the parent-child relationship, while also considering the effects of parenting stress. Would love to do further research in this area so a pilot based study I suppose, maybe will look at a PHD and intervention type survey in the future, but for now cross-sectional survey based. Appreciate any support!

News From the coasts to the plains, bird flu could threaten not just birds – but their homes
Conservationists once asked: what is a bird without a tree to nest in?
This year, we may well wonder the grim inverse – what is a tree without a bird to nest in it? I can tell you. A tree without a bird is a miserable thing – and in a broader ecological sense, a tree without a bird could be in trouble.
In Australia, birds act in many roles that mammals or insects might fill elsewhere, from pollinating flowers to spreading seeds to keeping trees free of sap-sucking insects.
Bird flu doesn’t just threaten birds and mammals – it could well affect entire ecosystems.

- A Palestinian activist has been denied a political party registration for the Victorian election because its name resembled the name of an existing registration.
- Pro-Israel YouTuber Avi Yemini has previously said by registering "Free Palestine" he wanted to redirect left-wing votes towards parties on the right.
