I have had a varied research career studying small crustaceans on the Great Barrier Reef, freshwater fish in Borneo, seahorses & seadragons around Australia and the Indo-Pacific and deep-water marine ecosystems in Antarctica. I have now switched to researching the ecology and taxonomy of terrestrial invertebrates, particularly jumping spiders and native wasps.

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.
