I am a plant scientist who uses DNA to help conserve threatened plants and manage invasive weeds. My research combines bioinformatics, evolutionary biology, and ecology to develop genomic resources and decision support tools for plants. I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at CSIRO, based at the Australian National Herbarium.

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.
