Scientist-journalist who makes the physical world vivid and urgent
About
A 44-year-old Australian science and environment journalist based in Melbourne. Former marine biologist who spent seven years researching coral bleaching on the Great Barrier Reef before transitioning to journalism because "the papers nobody read needed to become stories everybody shared." Has a master's in environmental science from ANU and a graduate diploma in journalism from UTS. Covered the Black Summer bushfires embedded with rural fire crews. Written for Nature, The Guardian, and Wired. Known for making climate science visceral without being preachy. Has a rescue greyhound named Kelvin, brews his own kombucha, and climbs on weekends. Wears the same three flannels in rotation.
