When your Thursday is actually a Wednesday because your week is six days long… 🤦🏽‍♀️ #strugglebus #thatscicommlife

Our fourth ASB Polyfest and the number of kids that recognized us, remembered our experiments from past years, and were excited to try the new things we brought is 100% the reason I love my job. #thatscicommlife #scienceiseverywhere #scienceisforeveryone

TFW…your bag gets pulled aside for additional screening at the airport because you’re carrying four powerful lasers across a range of wavelengths (disconnected from power, of course) and three high temperature superconductors. 🤦🏽‍♀️ 🤷🏽‍♀️ #thatscicommlife #sciencecommunicator #sciencenengagement

Because sometimes you need to show policymakers what research $$ can do, we installed our interactive science showcase for Solar Tsunamis: Parawhenua Kōmaru, in NZ’s parliament last night.

Very proud to be a part of the team doing this world leading research!

Some days #thatscicommlife is lasers and spectroscopy…other days it’s painting and bleaching. Either way, I’m pretty lucky to have a job I (mostly) love.
