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.

A beautiful example of what can be achieved when artists and the tech community collaborate and support one another.
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.
