SciPubADL - The Science of Harmful Algal Blooms

Harmful algal blooms are becoming an increasing concern in South Australian waters. These toxic growths of algae can devastate marine life, damage ecosystems, and threaten public health. Join us to learn from our expert speakers who will explore what drives these blooms, their impacts on fish populations and local industries, and what can be done to protect both our environment and our communities.

Expert Panel:

Erin Barrera PhD Candidate, Adelaide Exposure Science and Health, University of Adelaide

Prof. Justin Brookes School of Biological Science, University of Adelaide

Brad Martin SA Project Manager, OzFish

Please join us on Friday 29th August at the Adelaide Irish Club (13-15 Carrington St, Adelaide). The event kicks off at 6:00 pm and will finish by approximately 7:30 pm. Doors will open at 5:30 pm. All drinks are to be purchased at the bar but guests are welcome to bring their own snacks/food. Attendance is free, but please register so we can advise the venue and set up the seating. We recommend arriving early to secure your preferred seating.

New to SciPub? Wondering what we are about?
The principal goal of SciPubAdelaide is to make science engaging and accessible to the public. Each panel consists of three experts who deliver 10-15 minute presentations on their area and then open up to questions from the audience via a moderator. Panellists are selected primarily on their ability to effectively communicate science in an engaging and non-technical manner. SciPubAdelaide is held in a pub so that scientists, aspiring scientists, and non-scientists can learn, discuss and think critically about hot topics in science.
