I am currently an environmental science PhD Candidate at the University of Queensland researching contaminants in East Antarctic Seabirds, including persistent organic pollutants and microplastics. Alongside this, I work as a field biologist at the Australian Antarctic Division where a major component of my work consists of highly pathogenic avian influenza assessments and attaching tracking devices to Adelie penguins to determine their foraging habits.

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.
