I am a research scientist and I lead the MARIS lab at Adelaide University (www.marislab.org). My research spans marine ecology, fisheries, and animal biology with outcomes that support conservation, sustainable seafood production, and food security.
 
Everything I do is underpinned by my mission to ensure science is not hidden behind closed doors but is communicated to the community. I am passionate about science communication and storytelling and I work regularly with radio, TV, and print media in Australia and overseas. I strive to increase the readability and readership of what scientists write through research and education. I write for The Conversation, and I am a keynote speaker at events ranging from arts festivals, public lecture series, academic fora, and career development workshops.
 
Sponsoring and empowering the next generation of STEM professionals, particularly women and other underrepresented groups, is also core to my work.
 
I have received 19 awards including the 2022 Agrifood Award from the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering for my innovative research and outstanding contribution to the fisheries sector. In 2021, I became Superstar of STEM, a title awarded to 60 Australian women every two years by Science & Technology Australia. Superstars are high-profile, visible role models in STEM. In 2026, I was appointed to the ARC College of Experts. College members evaluate ARC grants, moderate assessments, and recommend projects for funding.

My lab group (www.marislab.org) is focused on science that is relevant and responsive to today’s environmental challenges. Our research is built around four core themes and spans marine ecology, fisheries, and animal biology with outcomes that conservation and sustainable seafood production.
 

Towards the better management and conservation of cephalopods

Cephalopods have long fascinated people around the world, but we know surprisingly little about 100s of species relative to their vertebrate cousins. I have over 20 years experience working on cephalopods and cephalopod fisheries and I talk regularly to the media and public about these captivating animals that support livelihoods around the world, as well as represent critical components of the marine ecosystem. We always have some sort of the cephalopod project underway that supports both their sustainable management and conservation. Image: Erica Durante (c)

 

Sustainable fisheries and bluefoods

barramundi fillets

Bluefoods (or seafoods) are nutritious and in demand - and are a key component to our future food and nutrition security. My group are working on a range of projects that support the sustainable production of bluefoods, such as developing better methods to determine the provenance and authenticity of bluefoods, understanding the enablers of food fraud and illegal fishing, reconstructing the environmental or life histories of commercially harvested species, and developing valuable products from marine or fish waste.

 

Environmental and life history reconstruction

Nacre of abalone shell

My group analyses chemical and physical variations in the hard tissues of marine animals (e.g. shells and bones) to reconstruct past environments and the life histories of animals. This field of research is call sclerochronology and can help answer a range of questions in ecology, climate science, and food science. Currently, we have a major project focused on developing advanced isotopic markers to track the movement of diverse marine animals, from snarks to sea snails.

 

Reimagining science communication for a brighter future

Underpinning all of this research, is our mission is to ensure science is not hidden behind closed doors but rather communicated to the media and public. We not only undertake research on how to communicate science better, but we also do it in practice through a creative and proactive focus on science communication.
