Fabulous evening last night at the #ShineDome24 gala dinner celebrating 70 years of science excellence for @Science_Academy.
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.
Some great speeches at the #ScienceWeek launch event this morning—promoting participation and collaboration in science and speaking to themes of intertwining knowledge systems and building a common language in science.

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.

Attended the #IndigenousKnowledges speaker series tonight. It was my first event with @Science_Academy, and I was perched up in the mezzanine learning how to live-tweet. Tonight's speakers, Prof Tom Calma, Patricia Adjei, @crawhall7, @MichyPossum, and @SBeaupark were brilliant.
