Before the big #WorldPride celebrations kick off this evening, have a listen to this important, and wonderfully produced episode of #ScienceFriction on ABC Radio National featuring Kim Kwan and myself -- sharing our stories of growing up in the LGBTIQA+ community, and how we are now applying that to our science roles.

Really happy with how this moving episode really turned out. Reminded me that whilst we sing, dance and party tonight, we do so in celebration of all the battles we have won, and the many more we have to go.

Happy Mardi Gras everyone, and have a super world pride!

#LGBTIQA #Science #SydneyWorldPride #MardiGras

It's been such a few huge days here, as we kicked of #SydneyWorldPride with several #LGBTIQA+ events!

Did a spot over at ABC for #ScienceFriction show, worked at Fair Day at the Macquarie University stall, and last night gave a talk at the Queers in Science event.

Still buzzing from it all, and there is still two weeks of events left!

Love being able to support and talk about our communities, our science, and how both these things are deeply intertwined with humans at its core.

Mardi Gras season as well and truly kicked off, here in Sydney!

Faut-il arrêter la #recherche ?

"La perte d’#autonomie dont se plaignent les #scientifiques, mais aussi les usages dangereux de leur activité, amènent à se questionner sur l’intérêt de poursuivre ou pas la recherche (ou de quelle manière alternative).
