Proud to be an Aussie (by choice) today! As a migrant 🇩🇪🇦🇺 dual citizen, it feels extra special to be contributing to Australian culture, science and the democratic progress in 2025. I knew these kind and inclusive people wouldn’t let me down. I choose this place as my home for a reason! 🇦🇺🐨🦘✊ #auspol

WHAT. HE. SAID! 👏 US Senator Cory Booker 9.5hrs into his 25hr filibuster! Speak up now or forever hold your peace. "The power of the people is greater than the people in power" #corybooker #scientists #STEM #antiFA #science #futureisnow 🧪

How to avoid raising a Nazi: encourage critical thinking skills and valuing their own beliefs and morals before blindly obeying authority. This photo is a family heirloom. Do not copy. My grandfather Walter Volzke (right) protests by not following the correct salute in Nazi Germany’s H-Jugend.

Correct (Feb 2020) but also I can watch them from my living room window. So lockdown did not deprive me off echidna time

I did capture a SMILING echidna in 2020. Perfect snap of the moment! Might be useful at this trying time :)

Continuing the quest to convince people to join us on Bluesky to communicate science. It is importantly to stay connected!

Neil the Seal showing off his big boy nose! We managed to document three consecutive years of development. 🦭🧪🦑
Neil is now four years young and still visits his home turf in Tassie to molt. #WildOz #Neiltheseal

Absolute joy presenting my PhD research at #AARC2024
I use climate covariates to quantify external factors on the Australian population of southern elephant seals 🦭 It was super cool (❄️) to link up with researchers about Antarctica and the Southern Ocean 🇦🇶 @utas.bsky.social @antarctic.bsky.social

Continuing outreach on threatened whales in Australia and quantifying risks to population recovery through developing offshore wind farms. There is a lack of regional scale baseline data to assess and monitor potential impacts going forward. Our report will be available in 2025! 🦑🐋🧪
