I am an accomplished scientist doubling as an expedition guide, photographer, and award-winning documentary filmmaker. I spent 25 seasons in Antarctica and the Sub-Antarctic, including two very challenging overwintering expeditions to film the Emperor Penguin for the award winning BBC series (“Planet Earth” and “Penguins: Spy in the Huddle”). I aim to create imagery that supports conservation and raises awareness about the rapid changes of our planet.

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.
