This week, I had the opportunity to interview Prof Eric Warrant. Eric is a new Academy Corresponding Fellow and an authority on dim-light vision and navigation. I left with a new appreciation for the Bogong moth's long-distance navigation and an excellent kanelbullar recipe.

Great to be part of the launch of #scienceweek. The @Science_Academy started last night hearing from Australia’s first scientists at our event “Looking back, moving forward: Caring for land and Country.” And we have much more to come. https://t.co/gR9lpoYZfI
We’re launching #scienceweek with @ScienceAU, leaders of science agencies, Minister Ed Husic, @RichardMarlesMP and other parliamentarians.
