Call out for Indigenous folk who work in STEM (science, tech, engineering, maths). Based anywhere in Queensland. Would love for people to take over for just a day on @WeAreBrisbane for daily rotation curation for National Science Week (17-23 Aug). Much appreciated 🙏🏽

Mary-Louise McLaws has been a valued guide in these troubled times. Mary-Louise is a world-renowned epidemiologist but there’s a lot more to her than that. We discovered a woman who is also quirky, compassionate and not afraid to show her emotions.
