The last 2 days have been a test! #

Autumns almost here, footy season is underway and the weather is cooling down (at least it’s supposed to). Summer is gone but mosquitoes will continue to buzz about and bite. March and April can also be the high risk periods for mosquito-borne disease risk. There may be fewer mosquitoes but we’re typically more likely to see activity of mosquito-borne viruses, such as Ross River virus, at this time of year. Keep taking steps to reduce your exposure to mosquito bites! #helloautumn #publichealth health tips 🦟

The magic of summer in Scotland ✨✨✨ #midges #scotland #livingthedream

Why is it muddy *here* but not *there*? 👀 Drainage, soil, and rock type make all the difference. When fine particles like clay mix with water, they form a **suspension** that holds moisture instead of letting it drain. Sand, gravel, and fractured rock let water move through fast, so the ground dries quicker. So there we have it. Outdoor science you actually notice every day. #outdoorfacts #mud #drainage #soiltypes

How to avoid ticks when hiking

Aussie Mozzies ✨

Weekly recap (25-31 January 2026). Things are definitely getting back into full swing. Fieldwork getting me across plenty of Sydney’s suburbs, from Liverpool to Rockdale and Parramatta to Warriewood. Mosquito monitoring is lots of different habitats too, from water-filled vases in memorial gardens to rainwater filled ponds in bushland reserves. Wetlands are always in the mix too. #lifeofascientist #science #nature #keepmozziesaway #mozziesofsydney 🦟

No job? No problem—I’ve still got plenty of work to do for the planet. 🌍 One bag down in 35 minutes before my next appointment!
