I ❤️ visiting SA Museum’s Science Centre any chance I get, and today’s opportunity came via a tour for National Science Week.

Big congrats to fellow palaeo student Cate Sexton on her very engaging 3MT presentation and progressing through to the Flinders Uni final. Cate spoke about the long history being uncovered at Warratyi rock shelter and partnering with the local Adnyamathanha community.

Astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore are almost home 🚀 I’m looking forward to hearing their stories once they’re recovered and ready. Pic with Butch is from his lecture series a few years ago.

#TBT I worked at the Zoo for a couple of years as a tour guide, mostly in the panda exhibits. Last month I got to say goodbye to Wang Wang and Fu Ni before they headed home to China. #ThrowbackThursday

Hi folks, I’m a part-time PhD candidate in early vertebrate evolution studying tetrapodomorph fishes, and I work full-time as the Operations Manager of the Adelaide Uni BioBank. Great to be here 💙
