Happy International day of Biological Diversity! Sharing an (almost out!) review on my favourite aspect of biodiversity - genetic diversity. An amazing collaboration with Sally Aitken and @HayleyTumas on how genetics can support plant conservation. go.shr.lc/3QTOWVv

Huge congratulations to @GrettaPecl for receiving a Member of the Order of Australia honour! Such richly deserved recognition for your incredible contribution to climate change and ecological research.

Tune in after 3pm today on ABC Radio Hobart to hear Jamie Chapman 🔬🔬 and I chat giant plant genomes and mending broken hearts. 🌿💔

In a groundbreaking global collaboration, scientists have demonstrated we can monitor genetic diversity at scale to protect species from climate change and human impact. csiro.au/en/news/All/Ar…

Really excited to see this work out. Such a fabulous team to work with, looking to help us monitor and measure genetic diversity at scale.

Brilliant night Roving Scientist-ing at Beaker Street Festival🧪🔬! Great genetic diversity questions🧬 and awesome problem solving to order yeast, human, Arabidopsis, mosquito, Flooded Gum, Radiata Pine by genome size (no googling!). 🦠🤸‍♀️🌿🦟🌳🌲 beakerstreet.com.au/roving_scienti…

It's arrived! Looking forward to diving into this over the weekend. By the fabulous Jake Robinson

Ecological Society of Australia 2024 conference underway! Looking forward to a week of fabulous talks and discussions about understanding and supporting our precious natural systems.

Fantastic Day 1 at #ESAus2024, including science to fill decision making knowledge gaps; humans as part of, not separate from, ecosystems; and Green Status, going beyond halting decline to fostering recovery. Photo: amazing plenary by Prof Emily Nicholson, Uni of Melbourne.

“Understand who you’re talking to and the decision making landscape they operate in.” Fantastic #ESAus2024 Day 2 plenary by Dr. Kylie Soanes on how to foster strong science-practioner collaborations for positive conservation outcomes.

Meet our STEM superstars; Melanie, Lynn and Helen. 🌟 These pioneering researchers have been selected to join Science & Technology Australia’s Superstars of STEM program. We spoke to the researchers to hear their advice for those starting out in their STEM careers. csiro.au/en/news/All/Ar…

It's a wrap! Heading home from #esaus2024, inspired by the amazing passion and research working to solve the wicked challenge facing biodiversity. Can't wait for Adelaide 2025! Photo: my contribution to fabulous biodiversity-themed fashion at ESA!

Congratulation to the latest cohort of Superstars of STEM! I learnt so much from time in the program (2021-22) and can't wait to see where this takes you all.

Science club is back for 2025 on ABC Radio Hobart! Join Meredith Castles, Shasta and I as we talk the metaverse 🤖, spiders 😱 and nature in cities 🌳🏬 with Joel Rheinberger Today (Friday) 3:10pm AEDT: abc.net.au/listen/live/ho…

Congratulations Mike! Fantastic recognition of all that you have, and continue to do in improving our understanding of evolution and what that means for actions we take in conservation (and other fields). onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/me…

How can we use genetics to help conservation improve adaptability of our precious wildlife? 🐟🦜🌿 Excited for today’s annual project meeting, including sharing work I’m doing on adaptive genomics 🧬 of the endangered Button wrinklewort daisy 🌼 sites.google.com/monash.edu/ups…

It's that time of year to vote for your favourite Eucalypt ahead of National Eucalypt Day on March 23rd! This year with a location twist.

Science club afternoon on ABC Radio Hobart! Join myself, Dr Jim Palfreyman and Mark Williams as we talk trees remembering past weather 🌿🌦, new space probes 🛰, and mapping rock formations 🪨⛰ with Joel Rheinberger Today (Friday) 3:10pm AEDT: abc.net.au/listen/live/ho…

Happy #NationalEucalyptDay2025! A worthy winner for 2025 Eucalypt of the Year. I spent National Eucalypt Day in the beautiful Box-gum Ironback Eucalypt woodlands of central Victoria, around my PhD study species, Grey Box (Eucalyptus microcarpa). Many warm fuzzies!

Great scientist and great guy riding an amazing distance (and eye-watering 18000 m of elevation gain!) to raise awareness and money for restoration. Check it out!
