Had a blast talking turtles and #seagrass at #PintAU23! I've been coordinating @pintofscienceAU Cairns since 2018 but this was my first time speaking, and we had over 100 people in the audience! Thanks to everyone who attended, the speakers and volunteers (and Macalisters!). – at Cairns, Queensland
Did a whole @pintofscienceAU talk about turtles and didn't even realize it was #WorldTurtleDay!! #PintAU23
