I named a fly after @Deadpool! The Deadpool fly and four other new species I named after @Marvel powerhouses are being featured as some of the 165 new species described by @CSIRO scientists this year. #CSIROCollections

Fabulous evening last night at the #ShineDome24 gala dinner celebrating 70 years of science excellence for @Science_Academy.
This week, I had the opportunity to interview Prof Eric Warrant. Eric is a new Academy Corresponding Fellow and an authority on dim-light vision and navigation. I left with a new appreciation for the Bogong moth's long-distance navigation and an excellent kanelbullar recipe.

Great to be part of the launch of #scienceweek. The @Science_Academy started last night hearing from Australia’s first scientists at our event “Looking back, moving forward: Caring for land and Country.” And we have much more to come. science.org.au/news-and-even…
We’re launching #scienceweek with @ScienceAU, leaders of science agencies, Minister Ed Husic, @RichardMarlesMP and other parliamentarians.
Some great speeches at the #ScienceWeek launch event this morning—promoting participation and collaboration in science and speaking to themes of intertwining knowledge systems and building a common language in science.

Working on some art for a new scicomm project and realised that I'd drawn this mouse looking deeply traumatised. I'm now really tempted to keep him.

Last Friday night, I saw Lucie in the Sky – an incredible performance from the Australasian Dance Collective featuring drones alongside human dancers – and couldn’t sleep that night before finishing this drawing inspired by the work.

Museum collections provide some of the most important data to help us understand and predict what is happening under a changing climate. However, our collections pre-date electronic databases by hundreds of years so how do we know what we have?

@ScienceAU – at Australian Capital Territory, Australia
Minister for Industry and Science Ed Husic, speaking at @PressClubAust, has announced Professor Alex Brown has been appointed to the board of @CSIRO. Prof Brown is an advocate for Aboriginal health, health care policy and research. #NPC
Minister Husic’s speech highlighted the importance of celebrating the long history of Indigenous Knowledge and science and acknowledging it as part of the origin story for Australia’s continued tradition of scientific excellence. #NPC
Thank you @ScienceAU and @PawseyCentre for the incredible opportunity to attend #ScienceMeetsParliament! I'm excited to be part of this amazing group and can't wait to connect with everyone at #SMP2023 and bring back new insights to my science communication work. #scicomm #adhd
Huge congratulations to the nine stellar emerging STEM leaders who have secured scholarships to #ScienceMeetsParliament 2023. We are so thrilled to be able to offer these places to enable more of our STEM community to experience #SMP2023.

It's the first ever #WorldSeagrassDay! Seagrasses are critical in protecting our coastline and slowing down climate change by storing Blue Carbon. We've already lost 30% of the world's seagrass meadows, but Mike van Keulen is doing his bit to stem the destruction. #NotKelp
