Zoom in & you’ll see that the deep sea is recognised as a critical knowledge gap 🔎! Fantastic to see this acknowledged at the global level & thus identified as a priority for the remainder of the UN Ocean Decade!

🚀 Attention all #EarlyCareerResearchers ! 🚀 Check out our latest (my personal debut) publication on tackling the infamous #ImposterSyndrome and how to make meaningful contributions to scientific working groups! 🌟 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Join me at TEDxVictoria!

I'll be 1 of 12 speaking on May 15th, 2024.

This event promises to deliver inspiring talks about changes that can be made personally, globally, and local to Victoria.

It's a mistake to think that the only wins in the #PhD worth celebrating are the big flashy events - submission, acceptance, awards.

Here are 30 other wins in the PhD you might think are 'no big deal' 🧵

🗓️ Mark you calendars for Ocean Exploration Day this Tuesday, January 23! 🌊

We will be highlighting the importance of ocean exploration and the significance of the deep sea. We encourage you to get involved and join the conversation.

Science is not all sunshine and rainbows, but the team you are with can make all the difference 🦾. I got on stage to share this story at an IMPAC5 side event last February.

Available for all now on the The Story Collider podcast!

In science, failure is as important as success. In tomorrow’s episode, Sam Scarpino and Moronke Harris share times when they failed at science, or science failed them. Listen wherever you get your podcasts!

The best thing my PhD supervisor ever told me was:

“Anyone can find a good, positive finding, that’s not the hard part. The hard part is when you figure out what’s next after you don’t get the results you wanted. That’s when you become a scientist”

Seeking scientist volunteers! Want to practice science communication and help author a ✨comic✨ about your research? I need collaborators for this spring's cohort of SciComm & Comics art students! Please share widely. #STEMeducation #Science #sciart

My work with The Imaginative Scientist | Moronke Harris is 1 of 7 initiatives chosen by Early Career Ocean Professionals to highlight the UN Ocean Decade Outcomes! This group of leaders is working to 'achieve the science we need for the ocean we want'.

View the amazing initiatives and projects below.

What a night! With over 140 individuals in the audience, Science World's 'Trailblazing the Deep' event highlighted the stories, adventures, careers, and experiences of 3 local women trailblazing ocean spaces.

To the #MappingGalapagosVents team on R/V Falkor (too), this expedition was a spectacular success — a deeper understanding of complex ecosystems that can provide scientists & policymakers with powerful tools for protecting Ocean habitats.

There are no systems on Earth like hydrothermal vents: otherworldly, isolated, crushing pressure, extreme ranges in temp. From microbes to predators, creatures earn a living off of the reactions taking place when hot fluid reacts w/cold seawater.
