I’m a PhD candidate at UNSW studying palaeontology, looking at extinct possums from the Riversleigh World Heritage Area in Queensland. Australia has a lot of possums, so I’m focused on two specific families: a bizarre extinct family, and extinct relatives of little gliding possums like the sugar glider.

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.
