#Congratulations to @DrJDonel for your Emerging Leader Award at #AMSA22! Very well deserved - especially for all the science community building work you're doing! Working for conferences, students, equity...! And that's just the ones I'm aware of. 👏

Fingers crossed…“It is important to note that bleached coral is stressed but still alive. If conditions moderate, bleached corals can recover from this stress, as was the case in 2020 when there was very low coral mortality associated with a mass bleaching event”

Right now, steelmaking relies on coal. But new research has opened the door to green steel - and Australia's Pilbara region is well placed to benefit. @ANUmedia bit.ly/36bokuX

Red dirt, yellow sun, green steel: how Australia could benefit from a global shift to emissions-f...

New technologies will enable steel production without coal. Australia stands to benefit greatly in the shift to green steel – if we’re ready.

2016 bleaching- I honestly thought that would be the moment Australians stood up & fought for the #GreatBarrierReef 2017 bleaching, I felt depressed. 2020 bleaching, I was drafting the #IPCC section on GBR & I just felt numb 2022 bleaching & now I’m just really f&cking angry

We were a bit busy doing science yesterday @aims_gov_au, but we didn't forget that it was international #WomenInScience day! So fortunate to work, and be mentored by, so many amazing women in science! What a killer team.
