Why are carbon-rich meteorites so rare? 🌍☄️ A Curtin University and ICRAR-led study has found the Sun and atmosphere destroy them before impact – reshaping what we know about life’s origins. 👇 #ICRAR #CurtinResearch tinyurl.com/4hvmsny4

Check out the latest paper on a weird jawless fossil fish, and this time we were able to recreate a full 3D model! Thank you Lisa Schnetz, IvanS, Sam Giles, Richard Dearden et al. for having me on the paper Science at the Natural History Museum #fossilfish #CTscan #palaeotology

🧬 New research shows how structural variants, driven by recombination & transposons, shape adaptability in Sclerotinia sclerotiorum 🌾 Despite low gene diversity, SVs impact key traits—offering insight into pathogen evolution. 📖 buff.ly/VfhztgL GRDC Curtin University

They're an extinct group that were once among the biggest predators in the sea! However, one new species, called Mosura fentoni, is only about as big as your index finger! And that's not its only surprise... Find out more about this 'sea-moth' 👇nhm.ac.uk/discover/news/…

Fossil claw prints found in Australia were probably made by the earliest known members of the group that includes reptiles, birds and mammals The findings suggest that this group originated at least 35 million years earlier than previously thought nature.com/articles/d4158…

Thrilled to announce our latest paper, published today in nature on the oldest fossil amniote trackways, from the earliest Carboniferous of southeastern Australia. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Polish artist Marcin Ambrozik recreated a life reconstruction of "Manny" our adorable little amniote, and Monkeystack Creative Studio bought them to life. Check it out in this youtube video: youtube.com/watch?v=Jj7btT…

Lovely work weaving together multiple lines of evidence to better understand the early Earth.

Curtin's Soil and Landscape Science Lab has released a novel study on detecting and quantifying the chemical makeup of soil organic carbon. A scalable, cost-effective technique like this could transform soil carbon management 🔗authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S00… #SoilScience #curtinMLS

Pleased to have played a small part in this paper, led by Amin El Fassi El Fehri, describing “A new origin of the ‘modern’ lungfish #dentition revealed by taxonomic overlap between #Devonian and #Carboniferous dipnoans” published today in PeerJ - the Journal of Life & Environment peerj.com/articles/19389

🎙️ NEW #GRDCPodcast In an ideal world, Australian growers would have access to #canola cultivars with resistance to #sclerotinia stem rot. That’s exactly what researchers at the CCDM (a GRDC & Curtin University co-investment) are trying to develop. Listen now 🎧
