Presentation done! Great to get the chance to present our findings on caulerpa Taxifolia to the Northern Beaches Council and locals! #geos335 #invasiveseaweed #pittwater #northernbeaches

Big ups to the seagrass group. Hell of a presentation! #geos335 #seaweed #invasivespecies

Last practice run of out Caulerpa taxifolia presentation to the Northern Beaches Council @FoottRiley @ManceBenjamin @MitchellCapper #geos335 #seaweed #science

Adding the finishing touches to our presentation on C. Taxifolia @FoottRiley @ManceBenjamin @MitchellCapper #geos335

When a large storm hits most of the focus is about what happens above the surface. An interesting article by @etspencer about what happens to marine life below the surface ow.ly/QtLQ50wFHZy @OurOcean

A good question for people who think #ClimateChange is a hoax. #ClimateStrike

@ManceBenjamin @FoottRiley Would be interesting to see if the low pressure system last weekend caused more of this to occur

@BlakeMoon_ @FoottRiley Mate, it looks like a #storm bringing a #largeswell to the #pittwater caused this.

Some of the beach wrack we found during fieldwork at Palm Beach, the green wrack is full of the invasive macro algae, Caulerpa taxifolia @ManceBenjamin @FoottRiley #geos335

A @TEDTalks which also covers the topic really well and available on @Spotify open.spotify.com/episode/6sgZxO…

@April__Abbott That’s true, but hopefully with persistence they’ll begin to recognise you and not question it. Just about changing peoples perception of what “normal” looks like

@BlakeMoon_ If you get the right person... I can’t get them to consistently do it

Beautiful spot near the harbour for a quick dinner but sad how much packaging is associated with on-the-go meals. If I’m planning on having to eat quick I pack something, but just run out of time? Even the grocery store options are plastic heavy (sometimes worse than takeout)

@April__Abbott If you’re in a supermarket like Coles or Woolies they’re able to put your container on the scales and then set to zero so you’re not paying for the weight of the container and they aren’t using a plastic bag just to transfer it

Almost always have my own container with me- either w food, or cleaned and bring home. But it doesn’t help- even the deli insists on weighing in a plastic bag even if just to throw the bag out when transferring to a reusable container 🤯

Enjoyed starting #scienceweek at the Australian Fossil and Mineral Museum in Bathurst, NSW #STEMgotmehere #thisismylab @MGNSW
