@ok_lyndsey I didn’t get “fired” but was bullied into leaving after I had my first baby. It was the worst AND best thing that’s happened. The bullying part was awful, but it pushed me into becoming full time in my own business (which I love)

Just in time for @Aus_ScienceWeek My daughter Marley interviews me about what it’s like to be a food scientist! I hope this book will help to inspire the next generation of Aussie food scientists.

A huge thank you to @AIFST for sponsoring the book 💚💚🦗🦗

We had an awesome time @GoodFoodWine this weekend, and educated thousands of people about insect proteins 🦗🦗

@Mozziebites @GoodFoodWine I hope you enjoy them!

[Dr Cameron Webb @Mozziebites]

@VenomsLab I hope you enjoyed them. The bbq ones are my favourite as well 😋

[Glenn King @VenomsLab]

Big shout out to @Bugshop1 for yummy edible #crickets. BBQ crickets are my favourite but adventurous gastronomes might like to also try the chilli and garlic crickets.

[Dr Samantha Nixon @SamNScience]

Today @VenomsLab brought in edible crickets! What's good for the tarantula is good for the tarantula venom researcher I guess! 😅🤤 Crunchy, kind of like a corn chip, sticks in your teeth and throat a little bit... But a surprisingly tasty snack! Thanks Glenn!
