Had the joy of being the inspirational speaker at the launch of GALS: Girls as Leaders in STEM. It’s all about lifting up the next gen of scientists, engineers, and big dreamers. The future showed up, and it’s brilliant. Learn more: stem-gals.org

Must be nice when your sample size isn’t temperature-sensitive and emotionally unstable 🤣

Planned a 9 to 5, ended up with a 9 to 9. Just your classic PhD life moment where ‘one quick experiment’ turns into an all-day lab marathon. #PhDLife

From attending my first panel on Women’s Day in 2023 to being a panelist at DUBS Faculty Night this year — what a full-circle moment. Grateful to share my PhD journey from Sri Lanka to Australia & meet so many inspiring students. @deakinuniversity.bsky.social #WomenInSTEM #PhDLife #STEM

Silk, spooks & science—I’m speaking at Pint of Science in Geelong on May 19! Come hear how silk 🧵 is turning into life-saving biomaterials 🩺 (with a spooky twist 👻). Grab your tix: pintofscience.com.au/event/from-s... #PintOfScienceAU

From silky to spooky, fascinating science you don't want to miss!

Can silk improve surgery? How are viruses protected from meltdown? And discovering forgotten graves. Spoooooky!

PhD life: grinding in the lab, pacing the hallway, refueling in the café… having an existential crisis in the toilet. They not like us. #PhDGrind #TheyNotLikeUs #AcademicSurvival

Silk. Sold-out show. 200 people. And one very surprised speaker. Spoke at @nerdnitehh.bsky.social 1st show of the year—shared how silk is more than fabric to a packed crowd. Best part? Seeing their perspective shift in real time. #NerdNite #SilkMoreThanFabric"

It’s been exactly 8 years since Melbourne experienced the world’s most catastrophic thunderstorm asthma event and there is growing concern of it happening again. So is thunderstorm #asthma becoming more common? Read all about it in my latest article: theconversation.com/is-thunderst...

The fashion industry consumes so much water & generates 2-8% of CO2 emissions. Plus ~a garbage truck of clothes are dumped each second. These clothes are saved from landfill, from a "community wardrobe", patched up, or worn in multiple ways. What are your tips to be fashionable AND #sustainable?

Pollen's in the air, everywhere I look around Pollen's in the air, my immune system gives it a pound(ing) It was a delight to chat with @kiraetsa.bsky.social about hay fever & thunderstorm asthma, and what makes you a mozzie magnet. Lots of great science coming at-choo! joy.org.au/sciencequeer...
