So, if you're interested in how diet changes or faecal microbiome transplants or probiotics might influence the health of your system, get in touch!

So why am I here? I love being a microbial ecologist. But I'm also fascinated by conservation and nutrition and immunology and mammalian physiology. I can never be an expert in all those things so I'm on the look out for people who I can learn from and who might want to collaborate.

Why such a crazy past 20 months?
•Jan-Sept 24 working as a contractor for AIMS in a field I had very little experience in
•Sept 24-Jan 25 in Germany as a Fellow at the Wissenschaftskolleg
•Feb 25 started a fellowship at UniMelb
•April 25 HAD A BABY

But as it turns out, I was fascinated by the microbiology and just how impactful a microbiome is on host physiology and overall health.

If you work in Australian mammalian conservation, you've probably never heard of me. That's because I've spent the bulk of the past 13 years working in coral reef ecology. My PhD thesis was on designing coral probiotics.
