Last month, I was featured in an article by Liam Mannix at The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald about the five biggest science discoveries of #2025

Check out my thoughts on the #darkmetabolome at https://shorturl.at/4QNQ1

I was very pleased to be interviewed by The Analytical Scientist magazine about the Dark Metabolome. A term I think I was the first to define formally 

Read all about my thoughts on this somewhat contested concept – and what it means for the future of metabolomics as a field at

Shout out to Prof Julian Griffin for giving me a start in metabolomics back in (date redacted).

I am super excited to be an invited speaker at AUS-oMicS 2025 in beautiful Cairns. I'll be talking about my work using mass spectrometry to track pollutants in the environment and assess their effects on biological systems via #metabolomics.

The oral abstract submission deadline has been extended until February 14th 2025. Submit yours today and register at https://www.ausomics.com

See you there!

AUS-oMicS 2025

Ever wondered how a chemistry professor turns complex molecular mysteries into something everyone can understand? 2024 was all about that wild ride for me! 🧪🌍

This year proved that making science accessible isn't just about communication - it's about creating real impact

What's the fuss about #Fluoride? Why is a tried and tested public health measure back in the news?

Fluoride in drinking water is in the spotlight again. Let’s not forget how it transformed our oral health

The debate over adding fluoride to drinking water is almost as old as the practice itself.

I was on TV last night talking about a recent study that suggests a possible link between #BPA and #Autism

Thanks for having me on the show @theprojecttv and @channel10au

Thank you RMIT for highlighting
our augmented reality app ARChem. It brings molecules and reactions off the page and into the real world. Like #PokemonGo for chemists.

See https://www.rmit.edu.au/news/all-news/2024/june/archem-app

Please drop a comment about the app below - We'd love to know that you think!

Using augmented reality to bring chemistry to life

Professors Michelle Spencer and Oliver Jones have created an app called ARChem to bring chemistry out of textbooks and into the 3D world.
