Great UQ representation at 3rd Australian Native Bee Conference. Highlighting the impressive stingless bee research at both UQ Biological Sciences and QAAFI. Many thanks to the organising committee especially Tim Heard Sugarbag Bees.

People are already scared and confused about the referendum. Supporting First Nations isn't going to take anything away from you. Prevent policies like The Intervention from happening again. #VoteYes for an #IndigenousVoiceToParliament reddit.com/r/australia/co…

Thinking about all the gymnosperms & monocots that bees visit incl grasses & sedges. If it weren't for @ManuSaunders paper at the time or Michener's entry on Salix I would never have guessed my own bee pollen DNA matches to such plants to be true! Img credits in captions #science

Stingless bees and honey bees foraging on sedge pollens in Brisbane. I was wondering what the white pollen baskets were on the hive foragers. This Kyllinga is blooming across a football field. #bees #pollen #stinglessbees #interactions #ecology #DNAmetabarcoding #plantsforbees

Inspiring #3M thesis presentation by Griffith University PhD students in #macadamia research pollination and hyperspectral imaging #ausmac2022 Centre for Planetary Health & Food Security very proud of you Dr Rachele S Wilson Anushika De Silva Ryan Newis

Byeeeeeee 👋🏽 finished my 1st FT postdoc. Didn't win any big grants :( 2023 is looking like casual/PT work across 4 different institutions for me... How is everyone else's journey going? #phdlife #postdoc #research #womeninscience #womeninstem

One of the eDNA projects I'm working on at the moment: trying to find out what these birds have been eating that may be triggering paralysis. Great job Claude and Tim for explaining & for all the important work you do to try & save these animals. m.youtube.com/watch?v=bg0F48…

Stingless bees prioritise resin foraging over pollen & nectar after their hive is "split". Pollination efficacy may be reduced on farms if hives are introduced too soon after propagation. Co-authored with lead Ryan Newis for his PhD link.springer.com/article/10.100…
