Excessive water extractions, not climate change, are most to blame for the Darling River drying via @ConversationEDU theconversation.com/excessiv…

It's National #ScienceWeek! 🧪 Gemma O’Bryan got up close for a #ScienceSelfie with @westernsydneyu's Solar Car as a participant in the Young Indigenous Women’s STEM Academy.
Know a young Indigenous woman with an interest in STEM? Let them know about 👉 csiro.au/Young-Indigenous-Wo…
ALT Gemma looks at WSU's Solar Car. She is wearing a blue Young Indigenous Women’s STEM Academy hoodie. The car is a sleek red with large windows and the door panel is covered with sponsors' logos.

Sharing a special flashback for #ScienceWeek. This is me on my first day at @CSIRO as a Research Assistant in the 90’s. I wanted to work with industry to solve real world problems, and 30 yrs later I've come full circle, back to CSIRO to keep doing that - minus the scrunchie!

University Challenge began in 1962. Sixty years - SIXTY YEARS - later it chose a third male presenter. What a wasted opportunity when they could have had the smart & excellent @SamiraAhmedUK as it’s first female presenter. #TeamSamira

@MoHBLab PhD student @hannahleeho showing us that #science can be rocky at times.
She claims this is her looking at a draft she wrote a couple of days ago, but it's more likely that's having to deal with the feedback from her supervisors, @AmandaRebar Helen Mason, @drbengardner

Here's a reminder that #Science is fun! Take some time this #NationalScienceWeek to make elephant toothpaste, a rocket, or a (relatively safe) chemical reaction!
Messy is a must!

Great fun to present to students at Brisbane South State Secondary College (BSSSC) for #NationalScienceWeek with @shafiee_abbas & Anastasia Brooks.
Thanks to @TatYanes4 for organising and to Dr Jennifer Bannan and team. 🧬🧪🧫

I am attending the science and eco festival conference in Cairns run by Illuminate-FNQ. @GBRFoundation works with traditional owners along the #Queensland coast, healthy water, healthy country - just two of their many projects @HugePossum

At the end of a study on long-term unemployment in regional QLD, I handed out my bus. cards that list me as @AmandaRebar, PhD. One of our participants said:
"If someone like you got a PhD, I could too."
He's right. He could and you can too. Make the next gen of scientists great

I would like to begin my #TwitterTakeover by acknowledging the traditional owners of where we all live and work. Indigenous Australians are the first scientists of this continent. They innovated, explored, educated and discovered for tens of thousands of years.

I am @HugePossum, the Queensland Chief Scientist and I am doing #TwitterTakeover from Cairns where I am for #NationalScienceWeek - here are some photos form our bird walk along the #cairns esplanade

PS - that is a rescued green turtle. Australia has 6? Of the world’s 7? marine turtles and the way things are going we may be the last bastion of many of these species.

Yesterday I was at the JCU “Ideas Lab”. This is where they put smart people together to make stuff (engineering), innovate, bring science to solutions. #ScienceWeek. I was bombarded with brilliant ideas - @QuestaGame - and told stories of my own multiple failures to deliver 😳.

It's a Twitter takeover! Professor @HugePossum is taking over the @QLD_ScienceWeek account tomorrow - check out what the Queensland Chief Scientist has to say about all things science and conservation! 🗯️

Life is hard when you have competing interests in your life.
But how do you stay on top of it all?
I’m a scientist, start-up founder, with 2 kids >5 with a wife doing her PhD full-time.
In this 🧵, I’ll share the lessons I’ve learnt that have helped me stay successful 👇

THIS is how you celebrate #scienceweek every week! Visiting classrooms is one of my biggest joys as a #scientist #artist & #author These are the future faces of #science so it’s great for them to #sea scientists who are also #creative drsuepillans.com – at Exmouth, Western Australia
