I am a PhD student from the Institute of Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS), and my research seeks to elucidate the carbon uptake strategies of Tasmanian seaweeds and their physiological responses to ocean acidification. I am a Marine Biologist and Scientist and have worked with kelp and their conservation in Chile for over 10 years. I was recently selected as one of Tasmania’s Inspiring Women in STEMM 2025.

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.
