Can we please define “essential” in relation to medical appointments? I work in an eye clinic and we have people coming in from all over Sydney to try and get rid of their glasses. Come on Gladys… Surely that can wait? NSW Health Gladys Berejiklian

Working from home…with the help of two very keen dogs

I am so happy to be a part of this team, working together on some really exciting research in the Illawarra and South Coast. As part of this project I’ll be exploring the social dimensions of emerging offshore industries such as wind and kelp.

Freya Croft #ANCORS research fellow gave us a brilliant outline of her ocean governance framework that focuses on achieving fairness, preventing harm & respecting rights to ensure that equitable governance is facilitating individuals, communities and ecosystems to flourish #OPRI

An awesome first week in Denmark looking at offshore wind and also seaweed farming! I met some fantastic researchers at DTU Wind and Energy Systems and heard about the awesome work being done into offshore wind at the Danish Energy Agency. It was cool to see so many wind turbines in Copenhagen!

I also spent my last day in Copenhagen doing work in the sun on top of this urban seaweed/mussel farm!

Great presentation by Prue Francis exploring how to use storytelling and ocean picture books to promote ocean literacy. Looking forward to buying this picture book for my niece - particularly because it’s about the Great Southern Reef - our local ocean! #MAREcentre

I love that discussions of ocean literacy now incorporate ‘emoceans’ Dr Emma McKinley. Emphasising that emotions can’t be overlooked when thinking about human/ocean relationships. #MAREcentre #MarSocSci

An inspiring and passionate talk about insider/outsider researcher by @Tanayian. Promoting relational rather than transactional approaches to research, which may mean redefining how we actually do research 🙌 #MAREcentre
