Domestic shorthair black cat. Gilgamesh Atticus, Duke of Yellerton, first of his name, biter of knees, vanquisher of toes, begger of cuddles, mightiest tiniest of meows is sitting on my tropical blue shirt and next to my luggage.

I'm TRYING to pack for my trip to Dunedin for the NZ International Science Fest but..uh. there are hurdles.

Best journo enquiries as asked of @smcnz.bsky.social and related at #scanz. Can't choose between how do you give a giraffe CPR and whether turtles can be taught tricks.

Missed you at #scanz xxx (also, hi! I'm here now)

The #SCANZ conference was fun. 2 days surrounded by curious, generous, helpful nerds who work for good in the world. I am now a pudding.

Absolutely loving my first #SCANZ conference, turns out the NZ science communication whānau are the kindest, smartest, funniest group to hang with for a couple days. Very excited to be kicking off my new role as incoming lead for the Engagement Community of Inquiry for @tepunahamatatini.bsky.social

Love you my #SCANZ whanau

Hurrah! Penguin jerseys! A consignment from around NZ arrived, unneeded. #SCANZ

Nice pic of the PM looking pensive at penguins, suitable for #SCANZ

I've asked James Frankham of NZ Geographic if he'll make a PDF sampler of the pages he showed off, for the #SCANZ website.

The Oiled Bird Team imported Dawn dishwashing liquid from the USA to wash penguins. Presumably Palmolive softens penguins. #SCANZ

After the Rena spill there were 428 oiled birds, 2299 dead birds, and 150 staff at the peak of bird cleaning. #SCANZ

Hearing about the comms response to the Rena stranding. I wrote about the Great Penguin Sweater Fiasco: #SCANZ

Maritime NZ refused to comment on NZ Geographic's helpful map, or replicate it (though they have better computers). #SCANZ

Fascinating map showing how many ships were cutting corners near the reef; visualisation at its best. #SCANZ

Superimposing 3D map of Astrolabe Reef area and shipping routes crashed their computer: too big for Illustrator artboard! #SCANZ

The problem is you can make global shipping traffic look huge or tiny just by tweaking line thickness. Context is everything. #SCANZ

Peak Ground Acceleration vs magnitude of #eqnz nicely shown here and almost nowhere else. #SCANZ

Some nice haplotype mapping, Ngram, etc, but the resolution is so terrible we can't really read them. Could have been edited for ppt. #SCANZ

LINZ and NIWA both supply maps and geographic data sets. 3 people: Editor (data) -> Art Director (design) -> Cartographer (maps). #SCANZ

Explanation of the plot of The Matrix obviously needed for this audience. #SCANZ
