We love taxonomists! ❤️ Today we’re celebrating the scientists who know what’s what in the world of plants and algae for #TaxonomistAppreciationDay. We asked a few #TeamCSIRO taxonomists to tell us about a species that is special to them. spr.ly/60143fgQC

Here are the big takeaways from the IPCC Synthesis Report released today. First, climate change has already caused widespread and substantial losses to almost every aspect of human life on this planet, and the impacts on future generations depend on the choices we make NOW.

In Canberra for Science meets parliament #SMP2023. Here I am meeting Rowan Ramsey, Liberal Party member for the House of Representatives seat of Grey.

Science props with Larry Marshall at #SMP2023 gala dinner. That's a bag of #Asparagopsis!

A new paper in @nature, led by IMAS uses data from our Long-Term Monitoring Program and Reef Life Survey volunteer divers to reveal “Continent-wide declines in shallow reef life over a decade of ocean warming.” 🔗 doi.org/10.1038/s41586…

🧵Supported by 150 volunteer Reef Life Survey divers, AIMS and park managers, our Australia-wide reef life census showed: # most (57%) of 1037 species were declining; 43% increasing # cool water species are disappearing, many now below detectable limits nature.com/articles/s4158…

Second paper from my PhD is now published! We provide a comprehensive study of the bacterial microbiome of the coral skeleton algal symbiont Ostreobium and shed light on signatures of phylosymbiosis. Heroen Verbruggen Dr Anusuya Willis Kshitij Tandon, PhD Read here: rdcu.be/c8TGk
