Our @qldmuseum researchers are digging the line-up of young palaeontologists at #unearthedQM. Mackay locals are checking out megafauna specimens found west of Mackay. #NationalScienceWeek

We’re diving into coral research with @pete_cowman from @museumoftropicalqld as he sequences a coral genome live at #unearthedQM. @qldmuseum #NationalScienceWeek

'Sadly Willie wagtails across the globe are in decline' Mackay Bird Walk with @HugePossum. @qldmuseum #NationalScienceWeek #unearthedQM

We’re finishing off #NationalScienceWeek with a bang! @qldmuseum is taking over the @QLD_ScienceWeek account from Unearthed in Mackay. @bhp #unearthedQM #ProjectDIGQM

We are now onto our third cohort of students! Challenges were immense, but the payoff was amazing. The students are now teaching teachers and teaching students STEM. So amazing to see all the different projects they’re doing.

Delivery was successful: a mixture of weekly zoom workshops, a concentrated workshop in PNG (students went to Port Moresby and teaching teaching took place online at QUT), and finally final workshops in Port Moresby once borders opened.

So I thought I’d share some of the cool things I’m involved with at the moment - the intersection of my current role and my background in science is pretty awesome and some exciting stuff has been happening.
