Great privilege to participate in the Science Meets Parliament in Canberra this week #SMP25 and get direct insides into how policies gets shaped, understand successful advocacy and be able to speak up for science with parliamentarians! Thanks @science for organising this great event!

✅ run ✅ shower ✅ off to @scienceau.bsky.social Science Meets Parliament (handily just 900 m down the road from me in Canberra) #SMP2025

Let’s go #SMP2025! Proud to finally be here in person! @ScienceAU CEO Ryan Winn. Science Meets Parliament is where scientists come together with politicians. It’s an opportunity for us to celebrate science! How cool is that?! Diversity of thought, celebrating 25 years! #canberra

Super excited to be in Canberra for the 25th Science Meets Parliament! Nice to start with a lesson in political machinery from a refreshingly honest Bill Shorten. #SMP2025

Very happy to be at #SMP2025 and learning so much! #communication #stories #relationships #science #policy #R&D #research #community #Australia

Excited to be attending Science Meets Parliament 2025 in Canberra. Kicked off this morning with insights from Bill Shorten around R&D investment and amplifying science within government policy #SMP2025

Do you know the name of the moon in an Indigenous language? If you said no, you’re not alone. Despite their long history, very few Australians are taught the names and stories of Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people, a poignant point from John-Paul Janke at Science Meets Parliament #SMP2025

Fantastic speech from Her Excellency Sam Mostyn, Govenor General, at the gala dinner for Science Meets Parliament #SMP2025

First day of #SMP2025 done and dusted! Incredible presentations, amazing networking and proximity to policymakers today has been a bit of a pinch me moment. Very grateful to be here and can’t wait for tomorrow!

Fantastic first day of #SMP2025 Bill Shorten's masterclass on civics was a highlight. Great to have the opportunity to chat with Minister Ed Husic at the gala dinner about the benefits of basic science and the culture of curiosity to drive innovation and economic benefits for all Australians 🧠🔬🤓

Welcome to Poliwood, scientists! Back at Parliament House with a few hundred of my favourite scientists, technologists, and engineers for the 25th Science Meets Parliament. #smp2025

The intersection between science and engineering in space is so important because you’re building infrastructure, says astronaut Katherine Bennell-Pegg - in conversation with Brian Schmidt at Parliament House #SMP2025

A healthy democracy is part of what makes Science Meets Parliament possible. Let’s not take it for granted, says STA President Sharath Srirsm. Hear, hear! Timely and thought-provoking. #smp2025

Science Meets Parliament 2025. When I think about the last two days and the impact #scientists can make, I thought about putting these two pictures together. Bringing what we do front of mind to the people making decisions for all Australia’s. More to come. #SMP2025

It was great to chat with Sharon Claydon MP this morning about the importance of Antarctic science; how we can support women in polar research, fieldwork, and STEM generally; and the great work that AINSE are doing, alongside @polarbecologist.bsky.social & Georgia. #SMP2025 @arcsaef.bsky.social

Taking the important issue of #reablement and #rehabilitation for people living with #dementia to #Parliament house as part of #SMP2025. Thanks to @allegraspender.bsky.social for meeting with us. #ScienceTechnologyAustralia #UNSWAgeingFuturesInstitute #HammondCare #NationalCentreForHealthyAgeing

That’s a wrap on Science Meets Parliament 🤝 2 packed days in Canberra with panels featuring Ministers/Senators and R&D leaders, all aiming to infuse more evidence into decision making. Highlights were meeting with my local MP, connecting with non-ecologist ECRs & the fabulous gala dinner! #SMP2025

90 minutes to get home, get glam, and get to the National Museum? No problems, with a classic Georgy slapdash black tie effort* Now off to the #SMP2025 Gala Dinner to see how many times I can work the word 'megadrought' into casual conversation

From research to reality and advocacy with impact, in these sessions at #SMP2025, two stellar panels explore the role of policy advisors in decision-making and how to turn your ideas into action.
