- Tried something a bit different this weekend, science stand up comedy! It was definitely a challenge to re-write my normal spiel into a comedic script, but I loved the experience and it felt great to get some laughs
- Snapshots of different shaped leaves and flowers from my native garden 😍
- Always get the urge to post sky photos here for some reason
- I appreciate all the nature I'm surrounded by where I live in the city. But heading into the bush this week made me realise that one thing I miss is big trees (and I mean really big, old trees). So we made sure to give this karri tree a hug ❤️🌳
- The beaches in south west WA are paradise. And you never know who you might meet!
- I wasn't really in the right headspace for social media at #ESAus2024 but seeing and sharing stories with so many old friends (and being in Melbourne!) really filled my cup. It was a good reminder that Ecologists are my people and that I'm so grateful to be able to work in this space!

- Weekends are for dog walks on the beach
- Why don't ALL academics just decide to spend December submitting papers for review, and January reviewing them. Then we get the whole peer review mess over and done with and we all start the year with a few more publications under our belt #winwin 😆
- Found a chunky weevil on my walk today 😁
- Now's the perfect time to support Bush Heritage, I love buying their cards as Xmas presents each year. They're gorgeous AND they go towards protecting Australian ecosystems www.bushheritage.org.au/get-involved...
- I love public art, there's nothing quite like it to connect people with place, especially when it portrays local species Found these in Preston Beach, WA this weekend
- Saw so many cool spiders on my bushwalk today! Most exciting was an aggregation of Christmas spiders, with one black colour morph in the midst! (Normally they're black, yellow and white)
- Check out these amazing shirts from Cicadarama😍 Emerge, Be heard. Perfect messaging. I need one cicadarama.square.site?fbclid=IwZXh... www.redbubble.com/i/t-shirt/Ci...
- There was a fantastic question on Triple J science hour this morning: If you were at a dinner party with Darwin, what would you ask him? 🤔 I've settled on: a) do you think the species concept is still valid? b) Why did you hate Albany?!? (a great explanation here: www.abc.net.au/news/2016-03...)
- There are so many fascinating creatures that live right under our noses This wrap around spider has a "twig" structure on its abdomen that gives it the most amazing camoflauge (when sitting on a branch and not some meddling human 😆)
