I brought my bubble machine and ukulele in to Lighthouse Littlies (pre-kindy), and sang with the little ones with an Auslan interpreter. So lots of fun actions, full of energy!

Perth Royal Show
It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with
families and teachers in early childhood
from Perth and regional areas in WA at the
Perth Royal Show. I am very encouraged by
the overall support and excitement towards
"My Mad Scientist Mummy", as there are
very few storybooks for young children that
talk about science, and 'have a woman
as the central character'. At the Murdoch
booth, young children were particularly
drawn to the blueberry cupcakes and
'Seto' the plush toy quokka who is a lab
technician in the storybook. Over 170
families with young children and educators
have expressed their interest in attending
the book launch next year, at which I hope
to include a sing-along and fun activities
to engage young children in science.
I am grateful to Murdoch
University and the fantastic team for their
support, particularly Caroline Jacobson and
Narelle Dybing for their tremendous efforts
in putting together such an attractive
and interactive showcase in
bringing public awareness to
parasitology.”
Twilight Community Fair
My first time setting up an outdoor stall! Was awesome, plenty of public engagement, little kids really enjoyed out "Little Scientist Corner". The strong wind tested the tensile strength of the banners and our team's reaction time/ engineering skills! I was on air!! (@98five sonshine fm radio-live broadcasting). Special thanks to the Australian Society for Parasitology (ASP) for sponsoring the event and the fantastic team of volunteers from JSRACS and ECU.
