Upcoming Events
Speaking Out
From interactive fossil workshops at schools, to speaking at international conferences, doing a comedy gig, giving a keynote at a leadership forumn, or even a zoom call with a class from London, I love public speaking in all of its forms. See what events I have coming up soon that you can catch me at!

Life-sized dinosaurs roaming the halls, enormous skeletons and terrifying teeth, and of course, the famed T. rex Autopsy show! I’ll be donning my labcoat and getting messy - learning about how one of the Earth’s largest predators died, and lived!
Women in STEM panel
Hosted by Macquarie University Faculty of Science and Engineering, myself and a panel of other scientists will discuss the challenges we face as women in a largely male-dominated field.
Macquarie Science Experience
The Science Experience program is designed to provide students who have an interest in science with an opportunity to engage in a wide range of fascinating science activities under the guidance of scientists who love their work..
Sydney Fringe Festival Show
Partnering with Sydney Comedy School, myself and 5 other scientists have worked with a comedian to turn our research into fun and riotous talks for everyone to enjoy!
Future Science Talks Sydney
Talking about the Found a Fossil project alongside other scientists from across Sydney, we make our research digestable, and the perfect accompaniement for a drink at the pub!
ICOMOS Scientific Symposium
Conference Presentation - Forgotten Finders: recognising responsibility for heritage discoveries
Science Week Australia
National Science Week is Australia’s annual celebration of science and technology.

Australian Museum Biological Diversity Study Days
This engaging full day program has been developed by the Australian Museum, the Botanic Gardens Greater Sydney and Taronga Zoo. Students have the change to hear from educators and scientists, interact with fosils, specimens, and live animals to understand the incredible biological diversity present across the world.
Digging Dinosaurs
Working with teams from the Royal Tyrrell Museum, the University of Reading (UK), and the University of New England (Australia), I was able to assist on a dinosaur excavation in Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta, Canada - helping to uncover a hadrosaur, and working to discover new sites!
