Last week Wednesday I talked about some #WeirdScience on the @breakfasters show @3rrrfm 👩🏼‍🚀

This week I thought I recap the story for you on my TikTok! Check it out - link below 👇🕵🏼‍♀️

The month of #ScienceWeek begins! I've got an action-packed ~5 weeks coming up, full of #SciComm and #Space content all around lutruwita / #Tasmania! If you're keen to hang out, or see some great local #science content, check out some of the events below 👇

🌘 Aug 4 - presenting at Beaker Streets "Young Tassie Scientists After Hours: Science for Kids (for Adults)" at #TMAG
🤖 Aug 5 - watching @parisba argue that #AI is anything but #creative in "The Great Debate" at The Theatre Royal
🍎 Aug 6 - speaking at the ABC Ockham's Razor event, LIVE at Willie Smith's Apple Shed down #Huonville
🛰️ Aug 12 - speaking at TastroFest up in #Devonport, as part of a series of presentations running all next week with the support of Libraries Tasmania
🏰 Aug 14 - mingling at the Government House launch of #ScienceWeek 2023, likely whispering in people's ears about my plans for a science centre out west...
🚗 Aug 15-18 - travelling around Tas on the #YoungTassieScientists Southern road trip! This includes about a dozen schools plus at least one event with Children's University!
🎙️ Aug 16 - giving the ECR address at Hobart's #ScienceMeetsParliament dinner, hosted by Minister for Science and Technology, Hon Madeleine Ogilvie MP
🎪 Aug 19 - staffing a booth at Inspiring Tasmania's #FestivalOfBrightIdeas / #FoBI down at Salamanca
🎓 Aug 22 - talking futures and opportunities as the occasional address at the afternoon session of Winter Graduations for #UTAS's College of Sciences and Engineering

(Then I take a week off to catch up on normal work + sleep, and do 2 days of #SciComm training with #SuperstarsOfSTEM)

🏫 Sep 1 - back at it, as a keynote for the 'It Takes a Spark!' #STEM #Education conference, alongside the fantastic Dr Lila Landowski!

(Then maybe I get a break from speaking for a bit, at least until the Australian Space Research Conference comes to town a few weeks later 😬)

Today is the day that I graduate from the #SuperstarsofSTEM program. It has been an incredible two years, with opportunities to stand on stages, chat with media, and meet so many people across the scientific and political spectrum.

It’s been a true privilege being part of this community of #WomenInSTEM, and there’s no doubt we’ll continue to lean on each other going forward.

All the best to the next cohort - I hope I get the chance to meet as many of you as possible!!

Have ended the evening abuzz after celebrating the Australian 2022 Prime Ministers Awards for Science #pmprizes at Parliament House! So many new people to meet and chat with, and a giddying delight to spend some time with the #SuperstarsofSTEM amongst the glitz and glamour!

A huge congratulations to each of the award winners - I have come away feeling oh so inspired!

So excited to see the new cohort of #SuperstarsofSTEM announced today in Australia! This program is about empowering us to embrace, and make opportunities for ourselves. But more than anything, the community built as part of this program is a tidal wave, lifting the boats of all #womeninSTEM. It’s a joy taking part. Very excited to see it grow!
