Highlight of the #AMOS2024 conference dinner (apart from the fact that we were @ Parliament House!) was that I finally got a pic with all of my PhD supervisors for the 1st time. Forever grateful to @sarahinscience, @melissatraveler & Alex Sen Gupta for their constant support😊

Did you know that CCRC hosts the Climate and Weather Node of the NSW Bushfire and Natural Hazards Research Centre (BNHRC)? The Node delivers an MPhil program in climate and weather and conducts essential research within BNHRC. More details next year. Until then, Merry Christmas🎄

While it's not widely known, Colombo is built on & around a complex wetland system that helps the city breathe and battle floods. For @BBC, I wrote about how Colombo view wetlands today, and the fight to save these ecosystems, with photos from @nazly.

Cyclone, heatwaves and the monsoon in one frame.

What is a #heatwave, I hear you ask?
I could talk to you about them for hours 😅
Here's the abridged version ⬇️🥵💃🌡
Melbourne has been feeling the heat over the past few weeks, but have we actually had a heatwave?
@sarahinscience breaks down what classifies a heatwave and explores why climate change is turning up the heat 🌡️☀️

@ed_hawkins joined us for the @AMOSupdates conference this year. We got the #climatestripes INSIDE parliament house. Huge progress since the Abbott government. But we've got SO MUCH more to do....let's not waste any more time.

A wonderful profile of a Sri Lankan botanist in @Nature today. In an era of brain drain and mass exodus of academics from our island, it’s wonderful to hear stories of the likes of Bhathiya.

This ad is nice. But as countries try to reduce sugary drinks (esp. drinks like coke) - wonder what advertising it along with sports does to our non- communicable disease burden? Are we building healthy population habits? Are we expanding a not so helpful market in #SriLanka
