I am a Master’s student studying Marine and Antarctic Science at the University of Tasmania in Hobart. My area of study focuses on biodiversity in seagrass meadows across southern Australia. I also have a background in marine heatwave research, seagrass restoration efforts, and native Australian flora conservation. I think plants are wicked cool, and seagrass especially is an incredible ecosystem and habitat provider! Understanding seagrass’s role in supporting marine biodiversity is critical to ensuring the conservation of these environments under climate change.

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.
