Huge congratulations to this absolute superstar Jenna who just scored an ARC DP as lead investigator! Showing all ECRs you can & should be rewarded for your knowledge, leadership & ability to bring together experts no matter how ‘early’ you are in your science career 💪

Hi friends! Help current PhD students in South Australia earn a slightly more liveable wage with an increase in their HDR stipends by signing this petition: forms.gle/ubvd6yjHYhyJzC… Let's follow the lead of other Universities in Aus doing the same: UNSW University of Sydney ourANU 🙌🙌

To keep cool in the scorching Australian bush, prickly short-beaked echidnas blow bubbles of snot onto their snouts. As the mucus evaporates, it cools the blood running through their beaks! My latest for News from Science: science.org/content/articl…

Echidnas have always been among my favorite critters so I had a blast working on this one. Thanks to Christine Cooper for telling me about her new study and to Tahlia Perry and Stewart Nicol for adding crucial context to the findings. As always, great to work with David Grimm!

Pretty excited to be asked to comment for a Science news article! Check out this very cool research by Christine Cooper on how echidnas survive extreme temperatures using snot bubbles Faculty of Sciences, Engineering and Technology CABAH science.org/content/articl…

Has anyone seen these 3D #alteredreality animal models in Google?! It’s so cool I stumbled upon the echidna but apparently they’ve been around for a few years - the animals really feel like they’re right by you There’s even dinosaurs, but the emu is the biggest jump scare 😂

CABAH's #citizenscience expert Tahlia Perry from Uni of Adelaide says the knowledge that echidnas use snot bubbles to stay cool could help conservation efforts.

Amazing talk at the Faculty of Sciences, Engineering and Technology ecology and evolutionary biology department seminar by @ErinnFJ today! She presented a synopsis of the huge Insect Investigators project that she's led over the past two years 🐜🐝🪲🐞🦗 #science #research #CitizenScience

Live tonight, 7pm PT: We’re talking 💩. Tune into NightSchool with Drs. Sean Yap (sgbeetlenut), Tahlia Perry, & Dr. Alison Marklein to discuss everything from dung-beetle courtship & echidna excrement to dairy manure’s impact on climate change: bit.ly/3ZR5mAk

How much do you know about 💩?? Not so much NIGHT school for me with the time zone difference but catch me today at 1.30pm Adelaide time where I’ll be talking all things #echidna poo for California Academy of Sciences 👉Live stream or what later on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=XaFuX1…

Check out Tahlia Perry talking about #Echnidna's, EchidnaCSI, gut #microbiome and scat💩! ▶️Talk starts at 53:00 Uni of Adelaide Faculty of Sciences, Engineering and Technology

I’ve been working with a group of very cool people to start another #citizenscience project - keep posted more details to come soon 😉😉

Great to see this project about to launch, featuring the logo I designed for them! 👇 VegeMap is a new citizen science project combining vegetation surveys and pollen traps to better understand Aussie environments past, present, and future #SciArt #CitizenScience

Had a wonderful opportunity to meet with Deputy Premier Minister Close and CE of Zoos South Australia Elaine Bensted to launch the Environmental Citizen Science Small Grants Program: environment.sa.gov.au/topics/science… A great step towards SA government’s commitment of $2 million for #citizenscience 🎉

Amazing work from Tahlia Perry EchidnaCSI harnessing (glittering) #poo to understand #echidna #health (and provide better #diet to captive ones). #eDNA #ICG2023

Citizen scientists send in 800+ glittering echidna 💩 samples to Tahlia Perry for her PHD looking at diet, health and microbiome. Guess what, they eat more than termites! #ICG2023

To complete the environmental DNA session, Tahlia Perry on EchidnaCSI and the power of the public (and the power of 💩) to understand echidna populations, diets, and gut microbiomes. Did you know that echidnas don’t just eat ants and termites? They also eat plants! #ICG2023

Fantastic talk by Tahlia Perry on #eDNA analysis of echidna poo collected by #citizenscience - take home messages: echidnas are insectivorous herbivores and their poo sparkles ✨💩✨! #ICG2023
