I named a fly after @Deadpool! The Deadpool fly and four other new species I named after @Marvel powerhouses are being featured as some of the 165 new species described by @CSIRO scientists this year. #CSIROCollections

This week, I had the opportunity to interview Prof Eric Warrant. Eric is a new Academy Corresponding Fellow and an authority on dim-light vision and navigation. I left with a new appreciation for the Bogong moth's long-distance navigation and an excellent kanelbullar recipe.

Working on some art for a new scicomm project and realised that I'd drawn this mouse looking deeply traumatised. I'm now really tempted to keep him.

Last Friday night, I saw Lucie in the Sky – an incredible performance from the Australasian Dance Collective featuring drones alongside human dancers – and couldn’t sleep that night before finishing this drawing inspired by the work.

Museum collections provide some of the most important data to help us understand and predict what is happening under a changing climate. However, our collections pre-date electronic databases by hundreds of years so how do we know what we have?

It's the first ever #WorldSeagrassDay! Seagrasses are critical in protecting our coastline and slowing down climate change by storing Blue Carbon. We've already lost 30% of the world's seagrass meadows, but Mike van Keulen is doing his bit to stem the destruction. #NotKelp
