talks

"Science is not finished until it's communicated," said former UK Chief scientist, Mark Walport. I get a lot of joy from sharing science stories, speaking or emceeing events like The Laborastory, Pint of Science and The Moth, and running outreach programs for kids.

Live-streaming from a 'floating classroom'

Curious about headless chicken monsters? I led the outreach on a five-week deep-sea science expedition to the Cocos (Keeling) Islands on CSIRO's RV Investigator. I hosted live-stream video crosses to 970 students from 28 schools around Australia: 5 to 17 year olds from Tasmania to the Torres Strait. It was brilliant.

On the joys of science communication

I spoke about being a science communicator, on Let's Talk Science Comm, a podcast by Uni of Melbourne's Associate Professor Jen Martin and Dr Michael Wheeler.

On Harriet and Helena Scott, the Bronte sisters of botany

I spoke at the Laborastory night on two remarkable artists and scientists from the 1800s: the Scott sisters.

On flies, dung beetles and Dr George Bornemissza

At the Laborastory, I spoke about a man who single-handedly stopped swarms of flies crawling up your nose.
