We're ReOC certified! What does that mean? ReOC = Remotely Piloted Aircraft Operator’s Certificate. It basically means we're up to date on the latest in safely and legally flying drones for you.

Congratulations to the tawny frogmouth for winning the Guardian Australia/Birdlife Australia bird of the year for 2025! We captured a couple of them chilling out with another Australian icon 🐨

Do No Harm is an exhibition coming to No Vacancy Gallery this month in Melbourne - Tany Brahmanand is a doctor, artist and sustainability advocate who has brought together a team of diverse artists to explore some of the unintended environmental costs of healthcare.

Pure gold! ✨ This week we had a chat with Tany Brahmanand - a doctor, jewellery artist, business owner and environmental advocate who shared how she's blending these different parts of her work and life to make a difference. See the full episode at ascentmedia.com.au/ascendyourst...

What do marine biologists *really* think of George Costanza's foray into their profession?

Dr Tom Carruthers is a science communicator, thinker and creative who helps translate science for humans based on actual human behaviour. He joins Sam O'Reilly this week on Ascend Your Story - out on your favourite podcast platforms now ascentmedia.com.au/ascendyourstory

For National Science Week, we’re looking back at some of our favourite shoots with the people pushing science forward from diving with marine biologists to chasing robot dogs through research labs.

When your podcast studio also happens to be the home of someone's core childhood memories... New episode of Ascend Your Story out now with Pat Blampied. Science, tech and research on your favourite podcast platforms.

Compost fires are a major issue in Australia, sparking major concerns for bushfires and even triggering parliamentary inquiries. Patrick Blampied is a self described “born tinkerer” - starting in the media, his tinkering led him to software and eventually Ag, where he co-founded Rhino Instruments.

We're used to being behind the cameras - not in front! Our science, tech and research podcast Ascend Your Story has had over 120 hours of views already - a huge thank you to our first guests Rob, Marj, Euan, Rhys, Prue and Brady for taking the leap with us: https://ascentmedia.com.au/ascendyourstory

Citizen science can play a huge role in tackling some of the environment's biggest challenges. Researcher Brady Hamilton is looking for Australians to pitch in on Pesticide Watch - a citizen science program to test water quality across Australia: https://ascentmedia.com.au/ascendyourstory

New episode coming tomorrow - meet Brady Hamilton. Brady's on a mission to clean up our waterways, and you can help! Out on your favourite podcast platform tomorrow.

Thanks for having us #AMSA2025 - we’ve loved capturing some moments with you!

Two organisations that do an amazing job translating marine science for different audiences - Deakin Marine and NESP Marine and Coastal Hub at #AMSA2025

Come see how our underwater set-up works over lunch! Swing by the Ascent Media booth at #AMSA2025 this afternoon @amsaconf.bsky.social

What impact are temperature changes having on life in our oceans? Jasmine Ascensio from Flinders University has been researching microbes and sharks with the hope of educating people on the impact humans are having on our oceans @amsaconf.bsky.social #AMSA2025

Even more cool tech on display at #AMSA2025 - RBR Global helps monitor temperature, depth, salinity, dissolved gases, pH and more with their sensor technology. "From the ocean abyss to the polar ice cap".

Aqualab Scientific helps organisations protect and manage Australia's water resources with their environmental monitoring instruments while CLS Oceania processes data from 100,000 transponders per month and observes the oceans and inland waters.

The Minderoo Foundation is advancing marine genomics and environmental DNA (eDNA) technologies through their OceanOmics program - nice to meet them this week at the @amsaconf.bsky.social #AMSA2025

We couldn't resist an opportunity to see the cuttlefish migration in South Australia this month and been having great chats at #AMSA2025 about it. We're also thinking of everyone working hard on managing the algal bloom outbreak and the impact it's having on South Australia.

Can you handle the tooth? Lochlan Paterson-Crisp has been looking at the teeth of carnivores like seals and otters to find out whether sinking your teeth in truly is the best way to survive. Lochlan shared this research with us at one of the @amsaconf.bsky.social #AMSA2025 poster sessions.

Echoview Software works with hundreds of research institutes across the world to help them with advanced hydroacoustic studies. They help you read and analyse echograms, track and count fish so you can examine their behaviour over time...cool stuff! @amsaconf.bsky.social #AMSA2025

Boxfish Robotics make robots for underwater - so cool to see their Autonomous Resident Underwater Drone at #AMSA2025

Michael, JB and Sam are meeting marine scientists, researchers and experts from all across Australia at the @amsaconf.bsky.social - We've learned about seals, seaweed and life on Antarctic ships so far. Thanks to everyone who has dropped by for a chat.

Nice to meet Russell Kelley at #AMSA2025 - his guides help people identify coral using a unique visual index. He also told us about his history in the production world - fun to talk about how far underwater gear and tech has come.

If you're at #AMSA2025 come say hi - let us show you all the gear we use underwater 🐠

Bring your kids to learn about Why Oceans Matter 🌊 part of @amsaconf.bsky.social‬‬ - Dr Prue Francis explains why it's important for the marine science community to reach out - 16 July: https://events.humanitix.com/why-oceans-matter #science #melbourne

We’re kicking off #AMSA2025 with a warm Welcome to Country from Uncle Ian Hunter and some great conversation over welcome drinks Tag yourself in the photos below & help us celebrate the start of a big week of marine science 🌊🐟 #AMSA2025 #WelcomeToCountry #HarmonyinMarineSystems #marinescience #naarm
