Lisa-ann Gershwin

[9] In December 2017 Gershwin's team refined a model for the early warning forecasting systems for irukandjis, with water testing off Cairns' northern beaches.

[14] Gershwin was one of the co-describers of the unusual jellyfish Bazinga rieki, which is the sole member of the new family Bazingidae and partly named for the colloquialism uttered by Dr. Sheldon Cooper in the TV program The Big Bang Theory.

[17] Gershwin's 2013 book entitled Stung describes the diversity and adaptability of jellyfish, and their increasing numbers at the expense of other organisms worldwide, through over-fishing, pollution and modification of the marine environment.

It covers jellyfish anatomy, life history, taxonomy and ecology and includes species level information and many full page photographs.

[21] In November 2017, Gershwin completed an invited book review for Nature, spanning Juli Berwald's Spineless: the science of jellyfish and the art of growing a backbone, and Danna Staaf's Squid empire: the rise and fall of the cephalopods.

[23] In June 2014, Gershwin was highlighted as a valuable expert in Anne Mather's article on funding cuts for CSIRO's Hobart office.

[1] In January 2019, ABC reported that Gershwin's role at CSIRO would finish in February as her contract was not being renewed, but that she would continue her jellyfish research through her private consultancy.
