Great night at the Eureka awards for Science at the Sydney Town Hall @eurekaprizes.bsky.social Proud to be a judge again this year and to support finalist Dr Kirsten Banks from Swinburne University @astrokirsten.bsky.social

What do you do when you have an unexpected day in Narrandera NSW until the fire 🔥 risk eases in Victoria but it’s 43C? You go to Sew Fab quilting shop in Narrandera, buy a embroidery 🧵 🪡 kit from and join Fridays “Sit & Sew” #narrandera #sewfabnarrandera #kasiajacquotembroidery #sewing #embroidery

Finished at last! After at least a decade in the “work in progress” pile I finally finished my appliqué engineering quilt. Silver lame fabric for the cracking fluidized bed cracker and distillation column #scienceart #nerdart #chemicalengineering #chemicalengineeringlife #appliquequilt
