I am an ecologist who develops models to map marine biodiversity, to understand where the hotspots are and how biodiversity is changing. I mainly focus on the life that lives on the seafloor around Antarctica. Here, life is astonishingly rich and diverse and more than 70% of it occurs nowhere else in the world.

About the BEAKER STREET ROVING SCIENTIST PROGRAM
Each August, hundreds of Roving Scientists descend upon Hobart, filling up pubs and chatting to strangers as part of Beaker Street Festival. Discover a new world down the lens of microscope, and joining the least-boring bar conversations you’ve ever heard and these free (the chats – not the drinks) events.
For Scientists, Beaker Street’s Roving Scientist Program offers an excellent outreach, professional development, and networking opportunity. It’s the nerdiest and funnest way to share your research with the public, expand your network, and be inspired by leaders in all sectors of science and science communication.
