I am a PhD student at Monash University passionate about understanding the impacts of climate change on conservation. Currently, I’m studying how climate change may be impacting Azorella macquariensis, a small cushion plant from Macquarie Island. I’m using a multi-faceted approach looking into how climate change is worsening disease rates, affecting plant microbiomes, population sizes, ranges and even their interactions with other species!

About the BEAKER STREET ROVING SCIENTIST PROGRAM
Each August, hundreds of Roving Scientists descend upon Hobart, filling up pubs and chatting to strangers as part of Beaker Street Festival. Discover a new world down the lens of microscope, and joining the least-boring bar conversations you’ve ever heard and these free (the chats – not the drinks) events.
For Scientists, Beaker Street’s Roving Scientist Program offers an excellent outreach, professional development, and networking opportunity. It’s the nerdiest and funnest way to share your research with the public, expand your network, and be inspired by leaders in all sectors of science and science communication.
