I named a fly after @Deadpool! The Deadpool fly and four other new species I named after @Marvel powerhouses are being featured as some of the 165 new species described by @CSIRO scientists this year. #CSIROCollections

Fabulous evening last night at the #ShineDome24 gala dinner celebrating 70 years of science excellence for @Science_Academy.

[Isabella Robinson @TheScienceRobin]

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.

@Keogh_Lab @Yiing Congrats, @Yiing!

[Science & Technology Australia @ScienceAU]

Nine in 10 Australians want more people and businesses to stand up and defend science - and think scientists are crucial to solving future challenges - new research released by @ScienceAU to launch National #ScienceWeek reveals. https://t.co/hXVc6ae0YJ

[Paul Richards @sirvivian77]

Great to be part of the launch of #scienceweek. The @Science_Academy started last night hearing from Australia’s first scientists at our event “Looking back, moving forward: Caring for land and Country.” And we have much more to come. https://t.co/gR9lpoYZfI

At Parliament House today for the launch of #ScienceWeek

[Isabella Robinson @TheScienceRobin]

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.

@canberratheatre @QPAC A beautiful example of what can be achieved when artists and the tech community collaborate and support one another.

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.

@Ottercivet @BrytheFlyGuy @Schwarzenegger @taylorswift13 @TheWiggles @james_findlay @abcdarwin @inaturalist What a fabulous photo! Great spotting 🪰

[Rebecca Johnson @DrRebeccaJ]

Museum collections provide some of the most important data to help us understand and predict what is happening under a changing climate. However, our collections pre-date electronic databases by hundreds of years so how do we know what we have?

[ASC @auscicomm]

The @auscicomm cohort with the @ScienceChiefAu at the #SMP2023 gala dinner. It’s been a fantastic day full of inspiring dialog.

(with @scienceinpublic and we lost @claireharrisoz on the way to this photo!)
