It seems there's a bit of a migration away from this platform happening I'm still here for now, but you can also find me in these places

I was recently commissioned to design this artwork for the @AstroSocAus Annual Science Meeting which is happening online next week ✨ If you're attending #ASA2024, come and say hi at the @futuremeetings virtual booth! #SciArt #SciComm
A logo of block letters "ASA2024" on a starry background of the Milky Way. Each of the letters is a different muted colour of the rainbow and contains an illustration including a radio telescope, a computer with a cosmic ray diagram, an observatory telescope, exoplanets, a person watching meteorites in a VR headset, a spiral galaxy, and the Southern Cross

We’re putting the spotlight on the Irwin’s turtle this #WorldTurtleDay TropWATER scientists used environmental DNA to help rediscover the Irwin’s turtle in the lower Burdekin in 2022, after it was last seen over 25 years ago Read more: jcu.edu.au/news/releases/202… 📷Lorelle McShane

A question for volcanologists: what's the longest time between eruptions of any single volcano, that we know of? 🌋 #MyScienceMay
Avid Research@avid_podcast12 May 2024
Happy Monday again #MyScienceMay team! Today we're wondering what question you might have for someone in another field? Bonus points if you can answer someone else's question! @letstalkscicomm

How can art effectively deliver environmental messages? I interviewed Dr Robyn Glade-Wright about enviro art and her 2023 exhibition 'Falling from the Sky' at @jcu, where I was an exhibiting artist(-scientist) @wkScienceandArt @jcuCASE #scicomm #sciart between-science-and-art.com/…

Environmental Art and Falling from the Sky

editor: In this conversation, artist-scientist Emma Rehn speaks with Robyn Glade-Wright about her 2023 curated exhibition "Falling from the Sky".

Perfect for #CharcoalTuesday: read about the 150,000-year fire record from Girraween Lagoon in Darwin that shows signs of Indigenous fire management beginning over 11,000 years ago 🔥 #palaeofire

Indigenous fire management began more than 11,000 years ago: new @jcu-led research from Cassandra Rowe, Michael Bird, @conservbytes et al. theconversation.com/indigeno… via @ConversationEDU @cabahCoE @AustArchaeology

Indigenous fire management began more than 11,000 years ago: new research

Indigenous fire management shaped Australian tropical savannas over millennia, until the arrival of Europeans pushed the landscape back into a dangerous, unmanaged state.

A handful of symbols are often used to show "science", but are relevant to just a few disciplines. I'd love your input for a collection of drawings I'm creating that cover more of the breadth of science! So, what objects best represent YOUR area of science and the work you do?
Text and three digital illustrations on a light green background. Text reads "What objects best represent YOUR science?" in black with the last two words in green. The illustrations below the text show liquid bubbling in a conical flask, a trowel, and a microscope in shades of green

The harsh lunar night fell, and it was expected that the SLIM lunar lander would fall into an eternal slumber as its circuit boards froze. But then the day dawned and SLIM revived as SLIM THE WHITE! (Fabulous art by science communicator, @BlueRehn!)

Replying to @girlandkat
I submit for your (and @KerbalNut 's) consideration: this crudely drawn nonsense
A cartoon drawing of the SLIM lunar spacecraft viewed side-on and dressed as Gandalf the White from The Lord of the Rings, including beard, hair, cloak, and glowing white staff, on a very basic background suggesting the lunar surface
