Dr Upama Aich, a behavioural biologist from School of Biological Sciences, Monash, studies how pharmaceutical and veterinary pollution affects vital species. Read her full story here: monash.edu/science/idwgs #IDWGS #MonashScience #WOCinSTEM #WomenInSTEM

"New research reveals how predators and prey adjust their behaviours in space and time! 📷 Using camera-trap data from Brazil and Suriname, we found that red-rumped agoutis adjust their activity patterns in response to ocelots' presence." buff.ly/40QU0hz

Australian Researchers, To support @arc_tracker (now on Blue) being awarded a Eureka Prize for Leadership in Science, sign this letter of support. forms.gle/WxfVjk9JaGpnGt… Q: "Are they eligible?", A: "Let's find out" Sign, repost & send out the link. Word of mouth. Do it!

My paper was proved wrong. After a sleepless night, here’s what I did next: - Don’t take it (too) personally - All in for open and reproducible science - Science works in increments - Science is a human endeavour 🔗nature.com/articles/d4158…

After many years of work, our paper on whether smarter fish are more reproductively success is finally out. Congrats to Ivan Vinogradov Rebecca Fox , Claudia Fichtel & Peter Kappeler. nature.com/articles/s4155…

We have 125+ signatures (mostly biologists) to nominate ARC Tracker (now on Blue) for a Eureka Prize. But we want more: ARC Tracker has 3000+ followers. Repost & spread the word. We especially want folk in the humanities, social sciences, etc to sign.🙏 forms.gle/xvqhAFsqRKya4n…

New paper in nature led by Patrice Pottier! We demonstrated global vulnerability of amphibians to warming, threatening 10% of >5,000 species examined. How did we do it? | nature.com/articles/s4158… | See thread🧵

So good to see this one finally out in the journal issue; work done with amazing Giovanni Polverino, Bob Wong (@bbmwong.bsky.social) and the dream team. Keep your eyes peeled for the carryover effect of the global pharmaceutical pollutant! 👀👩🏽‍🍳

🐟 Aussie study reveals long-term exposure to the common pharmaceutical pollutant affects behavioural, life-history, and reproductive traits in freshwater fish. 🔬 Wild guppy populations were exposed to environmentally relevant prozac levels for 5 years. #wildliferesearch

Umm… thanks wordle! 🤔🥲

I'm opening a K-12 learning centre in Canberra! We'll offer after-school courses in STEM, digital art, public speaking, and maths & English tutoring. It's been my dream to contribute to children's education, and I'm excited to open in just a month. ivlearning.au 🧵1/3

🎉 Huge congrats to PhD student Gabriel Melhado, who received an award at the ASAB 2025 conference in Liverpool for presenting his research on how pharmaceutical pollution impacts the behaviour and immune system of our Aussie native rainbowfish. Way to go, Gabriel! 🐠🔬

Please RT. We are hiring domestic/international #PhD students to work on citizen science, insect migration/conservation at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. If interested, please email me. You can find more about our research interests here. shawanchowdhury.com.

Very happy to get this paper published in NatureEcoEvo on how divergent selection and plasticity promotes reproductive isolation in the early stage of speciation. Thanks to 1th author, former postdoc Benjamin Jarrett for this excellent collaboration: nature.com/articles/s4155…
