'Science and Power' is now a real thing! I hope that readers find it as engrossing to read as I did to write. May we all embrace a little of the confidence and panache of Madame Sibly.

It was such a privilege to see this portfolio of some of the earliest ichthyological studies from West Aust. But it is so much more than that - our diverse team are uncovering rich Menang knowledge, anthropological and historical stories embedded in it #entangledknowledges
