How and why Australian mammals have consistently been written-off by much of the world is the key theme of my book #PlatypusMatters, and the brilliant @zoekeansci.bsky.social has written a great article on this topic (& thanks to her for the shout-out!).🦘🐨 Have a read: www.abc.net.au/news/science...

Three of my absolute favourite Aussie communicators and just allround wonderful humans, at #COCE2025. 🥳 But, where is Milton Mango? @zoekeansci.bsky.social @jessharwoodart.bsky.social & @constababble.bsky.social

Just saw the most wonderful session at #COCE2025. Milton Mango is the woke bloke the world needs! Thank you for an absolutely fabulous and thought-provoking discussion, with plenty of laughs too, @constababble.bsky.social & @zoekeansci.bsky.social!

My latest article for ABC Hobart is about tattoo removalists who offer free or discounted tattoo removal to people who face barriers to access and associate their unwanted tattoo with trauma. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03...

A response to a perfect day on Bruny Island a few weeks ago while places I love in Tas burned, then watching the cyclone on the news and reading Question 7 by Richard Flanagan #tasmania #climatechange #kean4sci #poetry #environment #kean4sci #solastalgia #brunyisland #richardflanagan #question7

Did anyone is Tassie see the space junk?

Tasmanian geology nerds! I need your help. Does anyone have info on the cliffs near the Arch of Bruny Island where sedimentary rocks meet dolerite?

So snaky at first glance! #zoology #lizards #tasmania #science #nature #australiananimals #bluetonguelizard #skink #kean4sci

A new #Tassie tale by me, a small ceramic fragment found on Bruny sparks conversation online about centuries-old finds. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Someone on the other app asked me what the green beetles were swarming on his wattles in December- I reckon it was cuties. Green scarab beetles (Diphucephala elegans) #entemology #science #nature #tasmania #scarabbeetles #wattle

Thanks #partyinthepaddock for having us and to Bert Spinks for the great chat! Was awesome to chat about my book ‘Why are we like this?’ as well as #Tasmanian #science and #nature at the Silvertongue stage 💕 #author #evolution #tasmanianauthor #sciencewriter

You can find it in the highlands and central highlands of Lutruwita / Tasmania. But it’s fossil pollen is found around the Southern Hemisphere. This was filmed Mt Field NP, which I think is one of the most impressive places to see the species. #science #botany #wildoz #science #rareplant #tasmania

TASMANIA ~> both me and @zoekeansci.bsky.social are coming to a library near you.

Hot tip: if you’re sad watch videos of lovely Thai couples getting married after marriage quality in Thailand.

Anyone know someone with a Tasmanian connection who has had a beautiful wedding in Thailand since marriage equality?

It was on this brick wall outside the hospital, made me whimsical and reflective - not my usual content, but it was so nerdy and delight for I had to share. Excuse my croaky voice. #webstersdictionary #whimsy #oldbooks #nerd
