Hey Melbourne peeps - joining us at Nocturnal tonight? Make sure you visit this gorgeous Goblin Shark in the Science and Life Gallery Melbourne Museum.

#SharkAwarenessDay Greynurse Sharks (loved by divers) were once common in Port Phillip Bay. In 1882 McCoy (first Director of Museums Victoria) described them as “the commonest of the large sharks swimming round our bathing enclosures in Hobson’s Bay”. biodiversitylibrary.org/item/27160#pag…

Yes we did! @rob_zugaro The massive head and fins are preserved in our Fish Collection Museums Victoria #museumcollections #librariesoflife

Roger Stone is not well

In the days of #COVID19 this is a heartwarming thread @veruka2. Tough times for your students who are so lucky that you're there for them.

The recent bleaching on the GBR was far more widespread, with many isolated reefs in the Coral Sea severely bleached @CoralCoE @MorganPratchett @HugoBHarrison Deborah Burn Daniela Ceccarelli theguardian.com/australia-news…

I like good news as much as anyone, but I am over the marine environment being sold as a good news story. It's not. That's what I see after spending months each year for decades counting fish underwater worldwide What the 'new research' fails to address: 👇🏻

Thanks for being here when we needed you Shane Fitzsimmons. You and your team do us proud. Your combined efforts inspire others to serve. Tonight’s AustralianStory was a fitting tribute to the NSW RFS across Eden-Monaro on International Firefighters Day.

.Kristy McBain MP, Member for Eden Monaro isn't a stranger to standing up for her community. Here she is on Q&A in February, calling out the Government's complacency during the bushfire crisis. She won't let them leave anyone behind.

When the power of the state is being used to conduct an extrajudicial killing? Yes.

What is up with [nearly] no one acknowledging the traditional owners of the land they studied on in manuscripts? There is literally a section called acknowledgements...

So curious to see what happens here and if more kids from socio economically disadvantaged backgrounds get to uni

This thread. Sad times for lots of #museums

My mother was a scientist and raised me to appreciate the power of science. On this #EarthDay, I am proud that science is back in the White House.

Nothing like jumping back on @Twitter with this "Aussie Scientists Are Naming These Fucked Deep-Sea Fish Like They’re Normal" pedestrian.tv/news/csiro-sci…
