Cat’s are b*stards; they puke on your carpet, wake you up at night, and then break your heart… Thanks so much Warren for all the purrs, the fluff and the many lessons. #adoptdontbuy #10liveshobart #cats

What's the future for Antarctic sea ice? Next Tuesday (11th November I'll be giving a free lunchtime talk at TMAG on @antarctic.bsky.social @imas-utas.bsky.social efforts to answer that very question. You can register here: url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/UVHnCE8kD7...

Dr Scott Spillias last night at @beeraquatic.bsky.social , on whether AI fish will save the fish or crush our futures (maybe both?). Assisted by some friendly (and not so friendly) AI bots #hobart #marinescience #imas_utas

Will AI save the oceans, or drown us in a sea of big data? Fish-modeller Dr Scott Spillias has views on this, and he's spilling all

Beaker Street is here in Hobart! Time to party with people who have access to liquid nitrogen and ideas on how to use it! I’ll be around a lot of events; no liquid nitrogen but stop and ask me about frozen seawater… @beeraquatic.bsky.social #hobart #beakerstreet @imas-utas.bsky.social

What's Antarctic sea ice ever done for us? Quite a lot! It cools the ocean, protects ice shelves, supports an irreplaceable ecosystem. Oh, and helps the ocean absorb $180 billion of carbon per year. Hopefully we can figure this out whilst there still is some summer sea ice...

Been in Cairns all week for the Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society conference. Great to catch up with colleagues old and new (and nicely-timed to avoid Hobart’s cold spell!) But I have never been to a conference with such a palpable sense of despair.

Bittersweet moment for me on 27th March; after 7 years I’m stepping away from @beeraquatic.bsky.social and will be on stage not as MC but as a speaker! (Specifically I’ll be talking about the mystery of disappearing sea ice). Leaving Beer Aquatic to a new generation of enthusiastic sci comments!

I’ll be going back to my @beeraquatic.bsky.social roots this Thursday, MCing our first event of 2025. We’re starting with a bang - lots of bangs actually - as Dr Rebecca Carey talks about undersea volcanoes. 6:30pm 27th February, Hobart Brewing Company
