I'm not a scientist, but I'm jumping in on #MyScienceMay. I'm a former US TV journo turned #Science communicator. I'm helping researchers at @QUTDataScience & @AustralianData tell their stories - because one of the most important parts of research is communicating it! #SciComm
As long as it still says Cleveland, that's the only name that really matters.

The Lions defeat the Cats at GMHBA Stadium for the first time since 2003 🤯 #AFLCatsLions
Autonomous Vehicles (AV's) were the tech hype story just a few years ago. But where are they now? Prof Michael Milford @maththrills from the @QUTRobotics is our guest this week to talk about the maths, the data, and the road to autonomy. Search your pod app for The Random Sample!
What a fantastic day with the team at the Australasian Leukaemia & Lymphoma Group (ALLG) in Melbourne! I was honoured to run a communications workshop for their members — and even more delighted by how enthusiastically everyone jumped into the exercises. Thanks, team @ALLGtrials!
Without a doubt, the spread of scientific mis/disinformation may be one of the most serious public health threats of our time.

Data can help us respond to complex challenges—but only if we can access & use it. In our latest episode, we explore AusEnHealth, a project aiming to build Australia’s first national digital environmental health platform. Search for The Random Sample where you get your podcasts🎧
With the #Cavs getting bounced out of the playoffs in the 2nd round, I think I can officially take a long break from Twitter. I don't need to see the daily debate from all the armchair experts about which #Browns rookie QB is looking better in practice.
I’d been waiting for @CaseyBriggs’ post-election analysis, and it does not disappoint. For your next challenge: Casey, I think you can introduce the word “simplex” into the Australian political lexicon through this, and call for you to do so. abc.net.au/news/2025-05-1…
STEM graduate programs must radically rethink science communication training. It’s no longer enough to just present at scientific conferences - students must learn to engage the public effectively, counter misinformation, and confront conspiracy theories head-on.
Exactly. The #Browns seemed to be crushing the draft until the Gabriel pick. Then their draft just went off the tracks.
Drafting Shedeur Sanders isn’t the problem. It’s that the pick once again exposes an incoherent strategy in a draft that they needed to come away with several impactful players #Browns
It's a trademark Brisbane comeback! They were almost 40 points down at Norwood Oval, and after half time the Dogs just couldn't stop them. Eric Hipwood was the catalyst, he finished with 5 goals. Listen live: ab.co/3RJwvTg Live blog: ab.co/4cugWbD
Spot on @getnickwright! "The reason DEI policies came to exist was not to elevate undeserving people. It was to make sure deserving people of all colours, creeds, genders, ethnicities had a shot."
Folks on the right side of history have to stop ceding ground to the charlatans and must stop agreeing to argue on their terms. Here’s the truth: Jackie Robinson *was* a DEI hire, and he is the perfect example of why DEI policies exist.
Lions footy is finally back! Go the @brisbanelions! #AFLSwansLions
Mate - don’t stop saying arvo, brekky, or chockers
Travis Bazzana: it's Australian for baseball player 🇦🇺 Learn some Aussie slang from the @CleGuardians top prospect before their #SpringBreakout game tonight against the Mariners on @MLBNetwork.
I’m laughing and crying at the same time
Happy Pi Day, @browns
It's been a long week already getting ready for this. Looks like the eye is going to go right over Brisbane tomorrow.
Tropical #CycloneAlfred will continue its approach towards the #SEQld coast, with the far western edge already impacting the coast from about Coolangatta to Ballina. The centre of Alfred is expected to cross the coast during Friday. Latest: bom.gov.au/cyclone/
