An exceptional initiative led by Dr Alex Tang Alex Tang will see a neuroscience roadshow bring some very cool science to regional WA! Thrilled to be an honorary member of the neuro crew for this one 🧠

Only 2 days until we're in Esperance talking all things neuro 🧠!

Our first WA neuroscience roadshow was a big hit. We brought neuro to >200 children across rural WA. Thank you to all our partners, especially Nikon Australia for loaning us 2 advanced microscopes. Sarah Hellewell Rebecca Ong Emily King Dr Kelsey Pool Liz Jaeschke-Angi

Planning a lot more on-farm science for 2024, with a slight difference… Thrilled to be taking on a new ongoing role as lecturer & research fellow, in a joint academic-industry position between UWA SAgE & DPIRDWA !

Assessing ram fertility ahead of joining at UWA Farm Ridgefield ! We measure everything from ram libido to sperm DNA integrity, to better understand how extreme climates could impact ram reproduction in the paddock

😃‼️Applications for FameLab 2024 are open!‼️😃 I highly encourage PhD students/ECRs to consider applying for this amazing opportunity. The training provided as part of #FameLab significantly shaped my capacity and confidence as a science communicator. 💡📻🫁 (1/5)

Just two gals happy after a busy day in the yards Dr Kelsey Pool. Many sheep 🐑 wrangled, (too) many blood samples💉 taken and 0 needle 🩸 injury to report. In my book that's a win!!! 😁 Might need an ice bath though 😅.

A shout out from us to students of agriculture and friends and family of students of agriculture: A WALRC scholarship is a cool (and easy) thing to apply for! And, good things happen to this who are awarded #getyourskateson. Closing March 20

📢WA producers! Serina and I are recruiting sites for the Shelter and Lamb Survival Project 2024. We will be examining the impact of sheltered lambing paddocks (shrubs or crop) on twin lamb survival.🐑🌱 Interested? Click here for the EOI form: forms.office.com/r/kY1AnHtXHH

It is bizarre that food production (which keeps us alive) gets more pressure to reduce its footprint than fast fashion, totally unnecessary flights for holidays, the film industry & motorsports. I’m not saying we don’t have a part to play but the legislative focus seems warped.

Spread the word! #FameLab 2024 applications closing soon. Apply now and get the brilliant #scicomm training and skills to make your research famous! #ECR tinyurl.com/2e4cht4s

✨Free UWA Seminar in two weeks time! And a topical one at that. Featuring Assoc. Prof. Elizabeth Jackson, Assoc. Prof. Dominique Blache & Prof. Shane Maloney talking the live export trade, livestock welfare, thermal physiology & novel methods of animal monitoring.

Come along! It would be great to see you there 😊 I’ll be discussing current supply chain uncertainty in live sheep export. Thanks to Dr Kelsey Pool for the invitation to contribute.

We're adding another voice to our panel- very happy that The Livestock Collective are able to join us! The Livestock Collective is a not-for-profit organisation focused on growing the public understanding of agriculture. Looking forward to hearing a range of perspectives on Wednesday 🐑

The WALRC team is pleased to bring back Livestock Matters - just when it matters most! The programs are up and the rsvps are open. AND... watch this space there's so much more to come! See it all at walrc.com.au/events

After many years working with mammals, stoked to see our first insect reproduction paper published today! In case you need even more anxiety around how endocrine disruptors mess with fertility (on a multi gen scale), you can check it out here: nature.com/articles/s4159…
