Madi studies how the ocean melts Antarctic Ice Shelves from below. I study this using high-resolution ocean models, and by traveling to Antarctica to drill holes through ice shelves. She actually wrote a longer and more detailed description of her research, but the admin accidentally deleted it. You will have to visit Madi to find out more about the amazing work she does.

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.
