Martin taught biology and marine ecology for over 4 decades as a professor. He has been active with Extinction Rebellion Australia since 2019, and is also involved with both Fireproof Australia and Blockade Australia alongside Scientist Rebellion.

Martin reflects on his experience and shares his motivations for taking direct action and joining civil resistance with Scientist Rebellion. After he gave an inspiring and touching talk for taking direct action, he was arrested today in Sydney after blocking a highway with Fireproof Australia. He will be joining further civil resistance actions with Scientist Rebellion, Fireproof Australia and Blockade Australia in the future.
