A climate change denier picks the wrong fight with me.
In my role as Artist in Residence in the Faculty of Science at University of Technology Sydney I collaborated with scientists and other artists to stage events to engage people with climate science. The first event was Living Data: Animating Change, at The Muse, a grand old building in Ultimo that housed displays of science and technology before the Powerhouse Museum took on that task. I co-curated this event with artist and educator Christine McMillan who I met through a woman at the Tom Roberts Festival in Inverell. We showed artworks made by us and other people we knew from our respective communities.

An example of a globally significant coccolithophore is Emiliania huxleyi, with a global distribution from the tropics to subarctic waters, forming a part of the planktonic base of virtually all marine food webs. It is studied for the extensive blooms it forms in nutrient depleted waters after the reformation of the summer thermocline and for its group of resistant alkenones commonly used by earth scientists as a means to estimate past sea surface temperatures.
