Popsicule’s teaching model has been recognised by the Australian National University through the 2025 Vice-Chancellor’s Award for Programs that Enhance Learning. In 2024, Popsicule was shortlisted as a finalist in the Science Engagement category of the Falling Walls Global Call, placing it among 30 finalists. Between 2023 and 2024, Popsicule was selected, through a competitive application process, to participate in and present at the Silbersalz Institute’s Science & Media Programme with a collaborative project focused on interdisciplinary science–art engagement. The work of Popsicule has also been recognised through invitations to present internationally, including an invited 2026 webinar hosted by the European Association for the Study of Literature, Culture and Environment (EASLCE). In 2026, it was featured in an invited seminar at the Innovative Genomics Institute at the University of California, Berkeley. Members of Popsicule have convened a panel at the Framing the Unreal comics conference in Venice (2024). Popsicule has also been presented internationally, including at the 2023 Public Communication of Science and Technology (PCST) conference, where it was featured as part of a session on novel approaches to science communication and engagement, and at the international conference Animal on Stage: Cultural Performances at the Zbigniew Raszewski Theatre Institute in Warsaw (2022).
