I was very lucky to be out on the reef this year for the coral spawning to talk about how science and tourism are working together to monitor coral recruitment. theguardian.com/environment/…

This by @thesiswhisperer sums up a lot that I’ve been thinking about using social media as an academic (although I don’t understand the appeal of Threads). I know I’m pretty bad at posting but it does feel a little like there’s no point anymore thesiswhisperer.com/2023/07/…

The enshittification of academic social media

If I started Thesis Whisperer today, 10th of July 2023, you would never hear about me. I built a readership in my little corner of academia, and some measure of influence, by sharing my work online…

Had a blast talking turtles and #seagrass at #PintAU23! I've been coordinating @pintofscienceAU Cairns since 2018 but this was my first time speaking, and we had over 100 people in the audience! Thanks to everyone who attended, the speakers and volunteers (and Macalisters!).
