It is finally out!! Continuing our work from my master's, now in collaboration with the amazing Shannon Buttimer, PhD 🎃🐸

Check out the last publication from our postdoc Mario Villa González 🧠 a close collaboration between our lab and Pérez-Álvarez lab. UAM Autónoma Madrid @CBMSO_CSIC_UAM ⬇️⬇️ biologydirect.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… #Microglia #MCAO #MTORC1 #Rapamycin

"From eggs to adulthood: sustained effects of early developmental temperature and corticosterone exposure on physiology and body size in an Australian lizard" doi.org/10.32942/X25W38

Preprint is out "Maximum movement performance, not activity levels or thermoregulatory indices, affects survival in a free-ranging ectotherm". We address relationships between environmental temps, thermoregulatory behaviour, laboratory metrics & survival in ectotherms in situ.

Last week I was lucky enough to give a talk about my PhD work at #ISBE2024. Thanks to my wonderful collaborators Daniel Noble 🇦🇺🇨🇦, @zaphiloszo, Kristoffer, Ondi Crino, and Dalton Leibold

Con la perspectiva de estos días y aún conmovido por la tragedia en Valencia, siento la necesidad de compartir algunas lecciones que creo deberíamos aprender de estas inundaciones. Sin pretender tener todas las respuestas, espero contribuir humildemente a la reflexión. (1/36)

As the world gets warmer, it’s stressing out animals like skinks which rely on the temperature around them to control their body temperature. Now, Crino & co show that this stress can also have lifelong affects on the skinks’ children journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/22…

Early environmental conditions do not impact behavioural flexibility in an invasive and non-invasive lizard species. DOI: doi.org/10.32942/X25D1P

New paper in nature led by Patrice Pottier! We demonstrated global vulnerability of amphibians to warming, threatening 10% of >5,000 species examined. How did we do it? | nature.com/articles/s4158… | See thread🧵

I'm opening a K-12 learning centre in Canberra! We'll offer after-school courses in STEM, digital art, public speaking, and maths & English tutoring. It's been my dream to contribute to children's education, and I'm excited to open in just a month. ivlearning.au 🧵1/3

Hot off the press from Daniel Noble 🇦🇺🇨🇦 lab: Our new General and Comparative Endocrinology paper shows that sex-reversed female bearded dragons (ZZf) have circulating T & E₂ levels indistinguishable from normal females (ZWf), and their egg yolks carry the same steroid loads.
