So thankful to have been invited to speak at this wonderful conference. It's beautiful here!

Please retweet! We are recruiting a PhD student to work on Tasmanian Bumblebees @JK_Cappadonna The successful applicant will research the impacts that introduced BBs are having on agricultural and native ecosystems in Tasmania. utas.edu.au/research/degre…

We have a new paper out today in Current Biology ! 🐬 Our research shows that variation in acoustic communication range, driven by habitat structure, predicts dolphin alliance group sizes!➡️sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Shark Bay Dolphin Research Nat Geo Explorers /1

Super chuffed to have my first journal cover with my photo of a peacock butterfly!🦋You can read more about these beautiful creatures and how their static electricity attracts pollen in the associated study in Royal Society Publishing Interface: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

It was a pleasure chatting to Kensy Cooperrider for Many Minds podcast about all things electric ecology. Give it a listen, I highly recommend their other episodes too!

A really beautifully illustrated and well-written article on electric ecology, including some of my recent work. So nice!

Just arrived in the field after the best conference I've ever been to. Thank you so much everyone who came to my talk - so many exciting ideas have spawned from the conversations! I was especially honoured to have had a few people write haikus about my work! #ISBE2024 ISBE2024

This must be a good omen for the start of fieldwork right? The southern lights, aurora australis, along the great ocean road on our first night here

I am thrilled to announce publication of a new paper led by Seth Frazer, showing we can accurately predict opsin phenotypes from their gene sequences academic.oup.com/gigascience/...

It's truly such an honour to be awarded the prize for best PhD thesis in the Faculty of Life Sciences University of Bristol for 2024. Thank you so much to my supervisor Daniel, his lab group, and my cohort of friends who helped me along the way! (and my examiners!)

Hyperspectral Imager paper out! High sensitivity UV to nearIR, radiance & reflectance, runs from a smartphone. Build the system for about $450 from 3D printed parts & off-the-shelf components. Paper: doi.org/10.1186/s12915… Intro video: youtube.com/watch?v=9q8lyU…

My first ever paper! So excited that this is finally out 🐟

Our paper with University of Bristol Biological Sciences shows how to measure the charge on small objects found in environmental fieldwork - or those released from acoustic levitation in the lab - using a new design of Faraday cup which encloses the sensitive electronics. doi.org/10.1016/j.elst…
