I am a marine biology graduate who spent the last year in Nepal. Far from the ocean, my focus shifted to climate science at the top of the world and how this pressing challenge is governed. I am motivated to spread awareness about how climate change manifests in the Hindu Kush Himalaya, why climate justice matters, and how Australia can step up as a more responsible global citizen. As a recent graduate, I feel an urge to move beyond the confines of academia and communicate the intersections of science, justice, and governance – over a beer!

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.
