Was brilliant to attend the Tuna Hui / Eel Symposium 2025 at Auckland University of Technology last week. Especially inspiring to learn more about dedicated mahi of mana whenua across Aotearoa to protect our native tuna.

I failed to do any live posting, but I thoroughly enjoyed the Aotearoa Aquatic Animal Diseases Symposium (AADS-2) in Dunedin last week! Learnt about exciting projects and met many amazing scientists and experts. Thrilling to see so much collaboration to improve one health and biosecurity in NZ.

Lots of new followers, and so here's a re-introduction:
I'm an evolutionary ecologist working in marine biosecurity at NIWA in Aotearoa NZ! Most of my research involves genomics, and I work with all kinds of tricky organisms. I'm often busy writing grant proposals and always keen to collaborate!
