I’m a regular contributor to CSIRO’s Double Helix and Scitech’s Particle.
My articles on popular science, travel and food have appeared in Cosmos, ScienceMax, Metropolis, Perth Woman, Yes!, DestinAsian, Scoop, Scientriffic, The Ultimate Science Guide, The Helix, The Canberra Times, Crinkling News and many others.

I contributed to writing graphics panels for the new WA Museum, Boola Bardip, as well as for Australian Museum’s 2014 exhibition “Tyrannosaurs – Meet the Family,” which won best temporary/travelling exhibition in the 2014 Museums and Galleries National Awards.

Curation
