Today, sis and I were on air 📻🎙 with @abchobart@helenshield for the "Tassie two step" to talk early memories, my polar journey, next steps as an incoming #PhDcandidate and #Antarctica 🇦🇶.

So happy my sister can participate in my (upcoming) PhD journey with me. She's going for the sister of the year award 😁. I taught her today a thing or two about #krill. #Krill 🦐 sisters at @IMASUTAS lab in Hobart. Have a great weekend all! #UTAS#openday#phdcandidate#grateful
The #SouthernOcean is home to many unique species including Antarctic krill🦐. This tiny little creature is a critical food source for seals, whales, penguins & fish.
Watch @wwf_uk’s video ‘The Mighty #Krill’ to learn more about krill superhero powers.

#Antarctica isn’t owned by any one country. It belongs to the world, which means a small piece of it belongs to you. My hope is that we win more #MPAs, protect biodiversity and address #climatechange. What are your hopes for the future of the continent and #oceanconservation?
This year @AntarcticaSouth partnered with @onlyone et al urging global leaders to establish a representative network of large-scale #MPAs. There are two MPAs in the #SouthernOcean, the South Orkney Islands, and the Ross Sea MPA. #Antarctica deserves more protection! #CallOnCCAMLR
April 25th is all about #Penguins🐧. This year @AntarcticaSouth held a penguin artwork contest for #WorldPenguinDay. To protect our waddling, tuxedo-wearing friends they need special protection. Our campaigners made this special video on Why some penguin species are declining.
Today is hump day. Do you know what that means? Time for some humpback whale🐳charm. Check out this team of scientists with @ConservationOrg observing a group of curious humpbacks in the #SouthernOcean.

2021 was filled with a lot of firsts for me. I attended my first virtual #ATCM and #CCAMLR meeting, in-person meetings in Norway🇳🇴 and developed an awesome digital #storymap on #Antarctic and #SouthernOcean protection. View @AntarcticaSouth story map here: https://t.co/nf8JTPv9Ze
I live a semi-digital nomadic life with 5 teenagers, Wendy🦭, West🐳, Falkland and Emperor🐧and Oslo🐻❄️. Oslo complains a little because he's never been to #Antarctica. We love cold environments and work on cool #polar projects with lots of awesome humans. Details to follow😉.
Hello, world🌏! I am Kimberly Aiken, a research and policy associate with @AntarcticaSouth. Today, I'm doing a #TAKEOVER and will share videos, pictures, and content of our work on #Antarctic environmental protection. #explorewithme#Antarctica
📸Behind the scenes with ASOC.
So many have died who didn’t need to.
So many suffering who could’ve been protected.
So much sadness that will endure.
So much lost that will never be regained.
I will never understand why wearing masks was a big deal.
I will never understand why vaccines became the enemy.
