While I did vote for the Ghost Bat for #NationalScienceWeek most under-rated animal, I'm pleased to see the Rakali come away with the win. These cuties are awesome, I always stop and appreciate them whenever I see one.

Ghost-bat afficionados can be consoled - the lovely bat was the Australian Cave animal of the year in 2022!

Introducing Deep Time Detectives! 🔎

Deep Time Detectives is an educational resource developed by CABAH on Australia's deep history, featuring a series of animated videos.

I drew a collection of original illustrations and animated elements for these videos

Happy #NationalScienceWeek !

✨🤓If you stay nerdy you don’t have to get nerdy! 🤓✨

Sci_Burst joined ANU #popsicule and #nationalscienceweek week at #ozcomiccon last weekend.
💥💥💥
We loved seeing everyone embrace their nerdy side! Thank you to everyone who came by including last pod’s guest: Bailey Kennedy, old listeners, new listeners, #superhero enthusiasts, and more !
🦹💥🦸
Making Sci_Burst is so special, especially when hear from you in person and online.

It’s for the CSIRO’s Great Koala Count, launching just in time for National Science Week!

If you spot one of these iconic marsupials in the wild, snap a photo and submit it! But why is it so important for you to get involved?

We asked Dr Andrew Hoskins, quantitive biologist with CSIRO, for the facts; this is 60 Seconds of Science! https://youtu.be/nNE_LRR5DPk

For Australia #NationalScienceWeek (last week) Tabea and I visited 4 schools in the Cairns, Queensland region: Mossman State School, St Mary's Catholic College, Mourilyan State School, and Hambledon State School. For the Wonder of Science program, we helped 200+ students with their science challenge tasks.

Project groups from each class will present their projects at the Wonder of Science Cairns Regional Conference in October.

Science week is over here in Australia.

Over the past few days, I was taking part in Capricorn Caves 'Big Science Adventure'. Here are some photos:

Our research cave drip loggers were downloaded and we found out how much rain was needed for water to reach the caves.

A cave guides training session was held. By chance, we found a rare geomorphological feature - photokarren

And we had a stall explaining the caves climate, hydrology and geological history.
