I am super excited to be an invited speaker at AUS-oMicS 2025 in beautiful Cairns. I'll be talking about my work using mass spectrometry to track pollutants in the environment and assess their effects on biological systems via #metabolomics.

The oral abstract submission deadline has been extended until February 14th 2025. Submit yours today and register at https://www.ausomics.com

See you there!

I was quoted in The Australian today discussing a recent study on chemicals in cookware that was found to have greatly overestimated the concentrations present, as well as how this error slipped through cracks in the peer-review system.

Hot weather here in Victoria. Many of us are keen for a cool glass of water but even H2O has a lot of myths and misconceptions around it.

Ever wondered how a chemistry professor turns complex molecular mysteries into something everyone can understand? 2024 was all about that wild ride for me! 🧪🌍

This year proved that making science accessible isn't just about communication - it's about creating real impact

I keep seeing posts about the Stanford/Elsevier #top2percentscientists list so I thought I would check it out. I was pleasantly surprised to find I have been listed for the 5th year in a row :-) I am apparently in the top 0.43% in analytical chemistry (which I am a little dubious about but I'll take it)

What do you think of the #top2percentscientists list - a useful metric or just another number?
