The importance of stupidity in scientific research

💻It was great to see so many people at the launch of the Curtin University School of Molecular & Life Sciences Coding Club! Presented by the Population Biology and Genomics team, the club is for staff and students to help each other with coding and coding-related problems. 💻👨‍💻👩‍💻

Hear Ben Phillips discuss the Toad Containment Zone project, protecting Pilbara #wildlife from cane toads. Crucial for #biodiversity protection, this project is a collab with traditional owners, rangers, and scientists from Curtin University and Deakin University. 👉 tinyurl.com/2csmfr2f

Big day for colleagues Ben Phillips & Judy Dunlop as they launch WA's proposed Toad Control Zone - ambitious plans to hold back the cane toad wave by controlling water across the Pilbara! #conservation #invasiveSpecies abc.net.au/news/science/2…

Prof Ben Phillips explains the Toad Containment Zone - a project that aims to protect Pilbara wildlife from the impending cane toad invasion. For more details on the Toad Containment Zone, see the project's website here: toadfree.zone/the-tcz-1 Curtin MLS Curtin University Ben Phillips

In a conservation haven free from invasive predators but containing chuditch, we were unable to detect any loss of anti-predator traits from the resident woylies! Could this be another tool for conservation managers? Read more here: doi.org/10.1002/ece3.1…

Coding Club is going strong! 💻💪😊Today Michael Adamos presented on 'Multivariate statistical analysis in R' and some of the research being undertaken by the forensic and analytical chemistry team. The Population Biology and Genomics team are proud to run this club😁💻
