ALT An informational flyer with a white background bordered by rainbow bars on the bottom. At the top of the image the text reads "October 17th, 7PM to 9PM, doors open from 6.30PM". In the center of the graphic are four colored circles containing portrait photos of people. Top left is Dr Lauren Meyer from Flinders University. Top Right is Lucinda Duxbury from The University of Adelaide. Bottom left is Brad Martin from Flinders University and bottom right is Dr Perry Beasley-Hall from the University of Adelaide.
ALT A stylised introduction post with a blue and cream colour scheme. The post is introducing Brad Martin and includes a portrait photo graph of him holding some shellfish. The text of the post reads "Brad (he/they) is a PhD candidate at Flinders University, with a research focus on the habitat provisioning of South Australia’s shellfish reefs. He is interested in understanding the ecological benefits of shellfish reefs to inform their management and restoration efforts. Brad is also an active member of QueersInScience SA and the Australian Marine Science Association SA branch."
ALT A stylised introduction post with a green colour scheme. The post is introducing Perry Beasley-Hall and includes a head shot photo of them. The text in the post reads "Perry (she/they) is a lesbian entomologist and evolutionary biologist based at The University of Adelaide. Her research centres on the diversity, evolution, and conservation of some of Australia’s least understood creatures: insects, particularly those in subterranean environments. Caves are vulnerable to decline due to climate change, yet very little is known about the species that rely on these habitats. To combat this knowledge gap, Perry is working on reconstructing the evolutionary tree of cave crickets, spindly insects that keep caves healthy by foraging for food above-ground and replenishing the food chain (essentially, underground room service!). A better understanding of how cave crickets have evolved means they can be given formal scientific names"
