I am thrilled to see our paper on Antechinus finally published in Current Biology Cell Press. Fred Rainsford Robin D. Johnsson authors.elsevier.com/a/1iUY33QW8S2T…

1/2 Graduate researcher Erika Zaid (Erika Zaid) has led research with Prof John Lesku which found that this Aussie 'mouse', the antechinus, forgoes sleep for sex. The amount of sleep required for optimal performance is perhaps the most important question in sleep research today.


Researchers have made a surprising discovery: A small Australian marsupial called an antechinus will sacrifice hours of #sleep per night to make more time for #sex during the mating season buff.ly/3u9Il1b Erika Zaid La Trobe News


I liked 2018 Anthony Albanese a whole lot better. RT if you agree.

Just a Friday evening reminder that the Anthony Albanese government continues to provide support for a ruthless, genocidal regime. theconversation.com/more-than-200-…



So proud of andrea.bueno - great talk about the importance of biological validation in non-invasive hormone monitoring studies! #WildEndo #AusMammSoc24 The Australian Mammal Society La Trobe Researchers


Erika Zaid An amazing comprehensive study of sleep in semelparous antechinus using accelerometry, electrophysiology, endocrinology and metabolomics #AusMammSoc24 The Australian Mammal Society

The European Commission just launched a🆕fellowship scheme for researchers at risk. 👨🔬🛡 This project will: 🔴 Assess the threats these researchers face 🟡 Match them with 🇪🇺 research institutions 🟢 Offer fellowships to about 60 researchers & allow them to continue their research



Stories like the Israeli commander breaking the bones of a 4 year old Palestinian child with bare hands, are a confirmation that not only the Israeli army is ROTTEN to the core, but so are all governments that allow these sickening crimes to be normalized. pic.x.com/spEiYdsLz8
