Soooo stoked to have had this opportunity! Not only to delve into the inner workings of #botanicgardens, but also to produce a feature length audio narrative from start to finish. Joining the BSSA was straight up one of the best decisions of my happy little life 🙌 🌱

[BiologySociety_SA @BiolSocSA]

A GIANT🌷 podcast episode is out now! Matt Coulter @BotGardensSA , enlightens us about a rockstar of the botanical world, the corpse flower! Embark on a tour through the gardens with Matt and our hosts as they discuss plant conservation. #conservation #botany #botanicalgardens

[DivSeek International Network @divseekintl]

Our flagship #DivSeekCommons is an inventory of tools, resources, standards & training materials that describe the muddled landscape of #plantgeneticresources conservation, characterisation & enhancement.

Here's a little teaser for a #BSSAPodcast episode I'm working on right now. Was lucky enough to meet Matt Coulter (propagation wizard at @BotGardensSA) and see +100 corpse flower plants at different stages of their life cycle. Learned lots, stay tuned 👀 @BiolSocSA

[Tayla Allison @tayla_allison]

Such a fun day! @BiolSocSA X #reefwatchsa reef rambles at Hallet Cove.

Not only did we see some amazing marine wildlife but we participated in data collection to build on a 25 year old data set! 🦀🐚🌊

[Kiri Marker @kiri_marker]

Love this initiative! Out here rooting for "Greg 2" the tree to grow and thrive. I wonder if you could rope in more right-brain kids by incorporating #naturejournaling alongside empirical monitoring 🤔

[Environment Institute - University of Adelaide @environmentinst]

Prof @BobHillUA spoke to @abcadelaide about the launch of #treesforgoodproject & the engagement of Alberton Primary School in planting & monitoring trees.

@ThoirsRebecca Thank you! What were the conditions like - did you need ID and luggage tags, and were the bags organised by flight or anything like that? Stoked you got your bags back 🌞

[Kiri Marker @kiri_marker]

As a science student doing a summer school media elective, I’ve gotta say, you lot write some angsty messages in your toilet cubicles #UofA

[Kiri Marker @kiri_marker]

Technology is connecting us to a global hive mind, and algorithms will become the new gods of the 21st century. Hi, Kiri from #thegrid here and this week we tackle the abstract issue of futuristic #technoreligions 🕉 https://t.co/2RwTyue2Tx

[Kiri Marker @kiri_marker]

@AdamsCaitlina @radioadelaide Hahaha wow that analogy is dead on. And makes you think about how much AI devs’ own values can inherently bias their algorithms...

[Kiri Marker @kiri_marker]

What are people's thoughts on #selfdrivingcars? 🚗If all vehicles were autonomous, we'd have less accidents and save valuable space, time and resources. But we'll need to sacrifice privacy, ownership and a quintessential 20th century experience. #ai #iot

[Kiri Marker @kiri_marker]

@rockpapertash I think that uneasiness is what many of us feel when we think about automation and AI. We live in a scary and exciting time

[tasha 🌱 @rockpapertash]

@kiri_marker I've always felt a bit weird about self-driving for cars, but unable to pinpoint exactly where my uneasiness comes from. it just seems like a step in a potentially dangerous direction

[Kiri Marker @kiri_marker]

Very sad to wave goodbye to #ScienceSmack after two years on air 🤓💔 But very excited to wave hello to #TheGrid! Catch it all summer long on Wednesdays 7-8pm on @RadioAdelaide 📱💻🕹

[Roy Molloy @MarvelousCrane]

One thing I enjoy about the Monster Mash is it includes the origin story

[Kiri Marker @kiri_marker]

@TomPHaskell Need this to go with my new lightsaber spoons xx

Adelaide Botanic Garden’s smelliest flower is about to bloom. Here’s what you need to know before you visit. https://t.co/l9y8v0IzNO

@MicroRewilding @BotGardensSA There were 2 camps: one said that the ability to sense changes in your environment and alter your state accordingly is enough to constitute consciousness... the other defined it as closer to “mind”

[Kiri Marker @kiri_marker]

Outside at the Exeter, listening to a group of @BotGardensSA gardeners arguing about whether or not plants have consciousness. I love the east end 🌱💕
