Hidden Wonders of the Iziko South African Museum is now open. Great job by the Iziko_Museums team. We do Nation Building every day in our Museum. Thanks Department of Sport, Arts and Culture DEPARTMENT OF SCIENCE & INNOVATION National Research Foundation of South Africa for supporting foundation science in museums.

We present genomic evidence showing the West Antarctic Ice Sheet collapsed during the #LastInterglacialPeriod!🇦🇶🌊🚨#popgen #icesheet #interdisciplinary ...the tipping point of future #WestAntarcticIceSheet collapse could be reached even under the #ParisAgreement (+1.5-2.0°C)

What better way to finish the week. Thanks to all the people who have supported me throughout, particularly my dream-team of supervisors: Prof. Kerrie Wilson, Assoc. Prof. Kate Helmstedt , Dr. Justine Shaw and Dr. Jonny Stark. Thanks also to QUT Applied Mathematical Ecology Group AMEG & Securing Antarctica's Environmental Future!

Clue to rising sea levels lies in historic signatures within #octopus #genomes scientists say ⁦Sally Lau⁩ ⁦Nerida Wilson⁩ ⁦Tim Naish⁩ ⁦⁦Nick Golledge⁩ ⁦Prof Louise Allcock @[email protected]⁩ ⁦Catarina Silva⁩ ⁦⁦Ira Cooke⁩ ⁦Securing Antarctica's Environmental Future⁩ theguardian.com/world/2023/feb…

The DNA of an #Antarctic octopus is helping to solve the mystery of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. 🐙 Find out how in this great Guardian Australia piece by Graham Readfearn. Kudos to Sally Lau Nerida Wilson Prof Jan Strugnell and the rest of the team. 👏

How did the #Antarctic octopus travel across West Antarctica during the Last Interglacial? A sex scandal? On an Antarctic sex bus? or worst.. did the #WestAntarcticIceSheet collapse?! Find out via Sally Lau Prof Jan Strugnell etal #preprint biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Firstdog Onthemoon

Great job going to support #Antarctic research and be part of the ARC's Securing Antarctica's Environmental Future team! Based in Townsville. #Antarctica

Had a blast giving my TedXPerth talk yesterday! Wonderful people everywhere! TEDxPerth Thanks Shil for the great coaching! SeadragonSearch

Congratulations to ⁦Nikki⁩ on passing her confirmation today! Looking fwd to her unlocking secrets of Southern Ocean benthos using genomics! ⁦Nerida Wilson⁩ ⁦Sally Lau⁩ ⁦MarineOmics⁩ ⁦James Cook Uni⁩ ⁦Securing Antarctica's Environmental Future⁩ 🇦🇶🪱🧬⭐️🐚

Our marine dream team are in the antarctica.gov.au freezers.🥶 They're collecting samples for genetic and genomic work to better understand evolutionary processes in the #SouthernOcean. 🐙🦐🦑

Congratulations to ⁦Sally Lau⁩ & ⁦Dr Rachael Lappan⁩ who are the inaugural recipients of the SAEF Biddable Research funding. 👏👏👏 Aimed at ECRs, it’s an initiative designed to support innovative, high-risk science.

AmAZing sub-Antarctic pre-conference workshop yesterday! Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) #scarbiology2023

Here we go…Day 1 #SCARBIOLOGY2023

Great engaging talk from Nikki at #SCARBiology2023 🪱 (why isn't there a polychaete emoji?)

It is always a pleasure to talk about fur seals with a participating audience! We had great fun "diving" together like seals at the first Awesome Antarctica public lecture series in Christchurch. #SCARBiology2023 [email protected] UP Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences

Super interesting work and talk Oakes Holland !!! #SCARBIOLOGY2023 Securing Antarctica's Environmental Future

Yesterday, on my 30th birthday, I successfully defended my PhD thesis at the Technical University of Munich. The work focused on ocean tides and has been a great challenge that I have appreciated over the last 4 years!
