I am a transdisciplinary marine scientist and artist based at UNSW Sydney. My research focuses on the production of the third most important greenhouse gas contributing to climate change, nitrous oxide. Specifically, I study nitrous oxide produced by the microbes living within marine invertebrates like sponges and ascidians, and what this means more broadly for temperate reef ecosystems and coastal greenhouse gas budgets.

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.
