We often associate climate change with heat and drought.

But as the El Niño effect strengthens, Australian farming regions could also face increasingly severe and frequent frosts.

La Trobe's Professor in Plant Biology, Phil Brewer explains how frost can devastate crops — and what can be done to support Australian farmers.

Papua New Guinea’s frost disaster suggests heat and drought aren’t the only symptoms of a changing climate.

New research shows most Australians are not prepared for the death of a loved one.

Researchers from La Trobe's Public Health Palliative Care Unit and the Death Literacy Institute surveyed more than 3,000 people to create a comprehensive view of the nation's understanding of death.

"Death happens to everyone but it's surprising how few people are actually prepared. About two-thirds of Australians haven’t discussed their end-of-life wishes with their families," said Dr Kerrie Noonan, Acting Head of La Trobe’s Public Health Palliative Care Unit and Director of the Death Literacy Institute.

The researchers have developed READYConnect, a new online tool to help people prepare better for end of life.

READYConnect provides a short digital quiz to assess a person's ‘death literacy’, providing personalised insights to help people start conversations with relatives and carers about dying.

A huge congratulations to historian and author Professor Clare Wright OAM who has been inducted into the Victorian Honour Roll of Women 👏

✍️ As the author of five compelling books — including the bestselling 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘰𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘯 𝘙𝘦𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘌𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘬𝘢, winner of the 2014 Stella Prize, and 𝘕ä𝘬𝘶 𝘋𝘩ä𝘳𝘶𝘬: 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘢𝘳𝘬 𝘗𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴, which won 2025 Australian Political Book of the Year and Book of the Year at the 2025 NSW Literary Awards — and the co-host of the popular podcast 𝘈𝘳𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘍𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 and executive producer of 𝘏𝘦𝘺 𝘏𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺!, it's hard to overstate the impact Professor Wright has on public life.

"Through her scholarship, storytelling and public engagement, Professor Wright has transformed the way we think about our past, bringing overlooked voices and defining moments into the national conversation," said Vice-Chancellor, Professor Theo Farrell.

"She is an outstanding historian, a gifted communicator and a passionate advocate for making history accessible to all Australians."

Thanks again Prof Wright for helping to elevate our understanding of and admiration for so many of the underrepresented voices who might otherwise be lost to the pages of history! 📖
