“I am always amazed by the large amount of information that tiny zircons contain" @ZiyiZhu8 Supermountains! Evolution! Hear more about Ziyi's #sciencejourney and what her and the team @ANUmedia discovered... #RSESrockstarts #geology #earthscience

Science, but this time, not on a napkin.. I had a great time interviewing and writing about the awesome work of @PalaeoJenn & @Yiming_V_Wang using ostrich beads to reconstruct past interactions between African populations over 50,000 years. #archaeology #palaeoclimate

So proud to call this amazing science communicator and scientist my friend… check out his interview at..

Dr Heidi Gardner was fed up with being told she "didn't look like a scientist", so she decided to smash some stereotypes. Watch #Loop tonight at 11.30pm https://t.co/n9Ds3pP4lW

NIWA is searching for the owner of a USB stick found in the poo of a leopard seal… Recognise this video? Scientists analysing the scat of leopard seals have come across an unexpected discovery – a USB stick full of photos & still in working order! https://t.co/2SZVkm5az4

It’s the final episode of this series of Science on a Napkin! This week it’s all about #ArtificialIntelligence as I talk to Dr Albert Yeap @AUTuni about how he uses robots aka Albots to understand the mind.. https://t.co/p17lF81Xys @NZScienceLearn @AIForumNZ

Thanks to @The_BigQ for the awesome panel discussion on #climatechange featuring some badass/inspiring NZ researchers: @CubaRaglanGuy @drmegparsons @SENissen and Lyn Carter!

What is the most numerous entity on the planet? Bacteriophages! Never heard of them? Check out my chat with @DrHHNZ from @MasseyUni to find out how these amazing viruses can be used to help New Zealand honeybees 🐝 @NZScienceLearn @kok_danielle #ABAtE https://t.co/c39WPpUIEX

#Statistics... Scientists all need it, yet it doesn’t often get painted as the most exciting discipline...This week Dr Marti Anderson, an Ecological Statistician from @MasseyUni describes the awesome stuff statistics can achieve... @NZScienceLearn #STEMnz

Dr Erin Leitao from @ScienceUoA talks to @ninetonoon about the potential of using silicon dioxide (sand) as a potential replacement for oil as a raw material https://t.co/Cra6vJeaqt

Ever had to fight to scrape the remnants of coffee foam from your cup? This week @JeromeLeveneur from @gnsscience explains how they tackle this through manipulating material surfaces... @NZScienceLearn #STEMnz #scicomm https://t.co/NzObJkAsvI

Science on a Napkin is having a week off but still had time to hear about Dr Craig Stevens’ @wavygk @niwa_nz @AucklandUni awesome work researching how ice is being created not just destroyed below the Ross Ice Shelf, thanks @AucklandMeetup !

@housescinz symposium #lowerhutt #sciencerocks #palmyrocks will hide this, but not until I’ve shown my kids and we make more #scicommnz

Was great hearing about carbon sequestration in Auckland’s trees from Dr Luitgard Schwendenmann from @AucklandUni @EnvUoA at the #WaitemataLowCarbonNetwork last night @sustaincoasts beautiful flagship #livelightly

This week I have a drink with Dr Nancy Bertler from @VicUniWgtn @gnsscience #antarcticresearchcentre and discuss what ice cores can tell us about past and future climate change... https://t.co/hyoOnrB6tS @NZScienceLearn @AntarcticaNZ #STEMnz #scicomm

For Halloween, make sure you’re educated on the spooky facts of climate change! #ActOnClimate #ScienceNotSilence

Ever wondered how allergies develop? This week on @NapkinScience I chat with Dr Katherine Woods from the @Malaghan_Inst about how eczema in early life can develop into more serious allergies in adulthood... @NZScienceLearn #STEMnz #scicomm

Volunteers needed! NIWA is launching a huge #citizenscience project seeking volunteers to help capture old weather data from epic Southern Ocean voyages & Antarctic explorations to prepare for future changes: https://t.co/4Pw7we9irk Read more:

We know you've been waiting to 👀 sea salps closeup & in the flesh er... jelly. The #SalpPOOP voyage team on board Tangaroa have sampled a diverse size range of #salps from different depths & researchers reveal some intriguing facts about these carbon-fixing heroes of the sea

Here’s the brilliant group of researchers I’m working with on a range of sedimentology questions from offshore NZ! Here having cake, tea and looking at cores, with a stunning view of Auckland.
