I am a biological oceanographer at the University of Tasmania’s Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies. I work to improve the sustainability of marine fisheries, a vital but vulnerable global resource. My research spans marine connectivity, fish ecology, and fisheries governance, with a focus on highly migratory ocean predators like tunas and swordfish. Like the species I study, my work takes me across the globe.

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.
