Simon joined the inaugural Financing Flood Resilient Infrastructure (FFRI) workshop w/ South East Councils Climate Change Alliance & other consultants – helping councils plan & finance infrastructure that protects communities from climate change. Supported by funding from the Australian Government.

Simon will be at the Climate Adaptation 2025 conference in Perth this week chair a science communication session to talk about, engage with, and understand adaptation options to increase climate resilience. 🌏🌡️
Come and say hi at the Scientell booth! 👋

Sonia and Simon had a fantastic time last week attending the #AMOS2025 conference in Cairns. One highlight was visiting the Great Barrier Reef to see firsthand the impact of cyclones on the reef + watch researchers restore reef ecosystems. 🐠

How can we communicate climate change research in a way that connects with people? 💬 Next week, Simon and Sonia go to Cairns for the @amosupdates.bsky.social conference, running a panel session that explores this question. The session honours the late Paul Holper, Co-Founder of Scientell.

If you’re heading to Collaborate Innovate 2025 in Melbourne next week, make sure to catch Simon's session on the foundations of effective science communication. 💬

#CI2025 runs from 19–21 May at Melbourne Connect. Find out more and register using the link below. 👇

Scientell had the pleasure of supporting AuScope on their latest case study, showcasing the history of the #AusGeoChem platform, and its rebrand to AuScope #EarthBank. 🌏

Find out more about how the platform has evolved, its impacts on the geoscience community, and what's coming next 👇

We are celebrating Sonia’s appointment as a co-Director of Scientell. 👏

Sonia has been at the heart of Scientell for many years. This new role recognises her outstanding leadership and commitment and the significant part she has played in our growth and success. Congratulations, Sonia!

Scientell worked with the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC) to prepare a series of impact case studies for their 2023–24 annual report, bringing research stories to life and highlighting the real-world impact of FRDC-funded research. 🦞

Meet our Summer intern, Tynan Bressan! 👋

This Summer, we had the pleasure of working with Tynan, who completed an internship at Scientell as part of his university degree. We asked him a few questions to help you get to know him 👇

In collaboration with Comm-it’s Emma Donnelly, Scientell delivered presentation training for the Australian Society of Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy (ASMIRT). The workshop is the first in a series of workshops that Scientell will run for ASMIRT in cities around Australia in 2025. 🩻

Learnings From the Co-Development of Priority Risks in Australia's First National Climate Risk Assessment

NCRA journal article published! 🌏🌡️
Scientell’s Sonia Bluhm co-authored a recent paper that explores the process and key learnings from Australia’s first National Climate Risk Assessment (NCRA). Read the article in Wiley's Climate Resilience and Sustainability journal:

The Australian Alps’ colourful alter ego - Australian Geographic The Australian Alps' lesser-known wildflower season sees the landscape burst to life with a brilliant tapestry of colour.

Scientell's Alysha Huxley recently published a feature article in Australian Geographic about alpine wildflowers: the bright and beautiful backbone of the alpine ecosystem. 💐

💡 Our tips for communicating adaptation solutions in climate communications, as presented by Alysha Huxley at this week’s #VicBioCon25:
• Include feasible adaptation solutions
• Have a message of hope
• Adopt a storytelling approach
• Provide tangible, real-world examples

Climate change poses risks to Victoria’s water resources, affecting the region’s water demand, supply, and quality. Scientell recently worked with regional water corporation Westernport Water to run a workshop to identify climate change risks and options for adaptation. 💧

Scientell conducted a thorough scientific and readability review of a new series of textbooks, e-publications and digital materials for Years 7–10, published by Cengage Australia. 📚

Our editing aimed to ensure the textbooks were engaging, accessible and scientifically accurate. 💡
