Great to join the @RoyalSocietyVic Emerging Scientists Network (ESN) for their inaugural Meet and Greet with STEM Industries and Employers.
With a friendly welcome from RSV President @robgell, the ESN hosted speakers from @CSIRO, Alluvium Group, @illumina and @RaygenResources.
Finally, a huge thanks to the students leading the ESN: Bronte Holt, Brendan Cohen, Leloba Jefferis and Alexander Mahoney. This is a wonderful initiative which speaks to the unique circumstances of university students at the moment.
After having spent half of my undergraduate degree online during COVID lockdowns (2 of 4 years!), it was fantastic to have another opportunity to connect with like-minded students. I look forward to seeing what comes next!

There’s no beating around the bush – the result hurts.
Our number one priority must be looking out for each other.
Let's be gentle on ourselves & others.
We’re mob. We’ve been here for more than 60,000 years & we’re not going anywhere.
We are strong, resilient & deadly.

I feel a deep sense of shame and grief tonight with millions of other Australians who voted #YES today. Imagine what First Nations People are feeling now. We have failed them today. We must redouble our efforts for Voice, Treaty & Truth.

Urging the youth of Australia to vote in the Referendum today. You are the future. Your vote today is your opportunity to say what kind of nation you want Australia to be tomorrow. Vote with care, with inclusion, with hope. Be the voice we all need to hear. Vote YES. #VoteYes #Yes23

It takes a lot of courage to challenge a Nobel prize winner. Well done.

There’s some inspiring #BiomedicalResearch happening at the @PeterMacCC and I saw a bunch of it at the Research Retreat last week!
My supervisor Dr @SuadMAbdirahman presented a poster on developing patient-derived #OvarianCancer organoid and xenograft models (which I’ve had the amazing chance to learn about and help with). With these, we hope to help open the door to #PersonalisedMedicine.
Huge thanks to the organising committee, and A/Prof @kylie_gorringe who invited me to stay in the Gorringe Lab as a research assistant. It’s been incredibly valuable to see real-life research beyond my university studies!
Eye-opening insights and inspiration from the International Day of Women and Girls in Science panel hosted by @VicParliament today. There was fantastic discussion from change-makers regarding possible improvements to current policy around STEM.

Leading the panel was @natashamitchell, @ABCscience journalist and presenter. While guiding interesting conversation, she added her own reflections, including that studying science gave her the toolset to face a range of challenges (including interviewing the Dalai Lama!).
