Our new paper provides the first insights into the trophic ecology of Australian cownose rays. So surreal seeing your first lead author publication in all its typeset glory!

🚨 New Paper Alert 🚨 Two new #sharkscience papers on #FlatSharkFriday!!! 1.) New trophic niche research on 2 #ray species along the east Aust. coast by Alysha Chan & co onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111… 2.) New #eDNA sampling research by Madie Cooper & co onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ed…

My first article is published 🥳 This was part of my MRes work and showed differences in in marlin feeding using stable isotopes, particularly through the use of sulphur! frontiersin.org/articles/10.33… Jane Williamson TroyGaston Julian Pepperell Macquarie University School of Natural Sciences

Great talk by Alysha Chan sharing exciting new information about the trophic and spatial ecology of the data deficient Australian cownose ray at the southern extent of their distribution off New South Wales. #ASFB2022

Cownose rays have a more constrained niche than eagle rays, and prefer hanging out at lower latitudes along the NSW coast Alysha Chan #asfb22

Such an awesome recreation of one of my figures!

New #SawsharkScience out in #MarineFreshwaterRes today! We show that common and southern #sawsharks exhibit multiple paternity and provide the first evidence for hybridisation between these species!

There's an official government petition to raise the PhD stipends in Australia to $45k. Their current rate of less than $30k makes it impossible to focus on research and will have long term impacts on Australian trained scientists. Sign it! aph.gov.au/e-petitions/pe…

Members of the MEG lab (and some special guests) had a great night at the Governor for #PintAU23. Thanks Pint of Science AU for putting on the event!

👀 watching my HECS (HELP) debt increase by thousands of dollars today…whilst PhD stipends remains the same and jobs in academia remain competitive

Time to introduce another MEGster! PhD student Alysha Alysha Chan studies the elusive Australian cownose ray to understand the species' biology, distribution and movement Macquarie University School of Natural Sciences Women in STEM Macquarie University #MarineScience #SharksAndRays

Some amazing women in STEM #ASFB2023 #IPFC2023 #womeninSTEM #MEGLAB #UoN

Last week I had the pleasure of presenting my work at IPFC2023 and what a great week it was! Thank you to ASFB and OceaniaSharks for supporting my attendance!

🚨New paper in Frontiers in Fish Science led by Alysha Chan assessing trends and drivers of coastal sightings of the Data Deficient Australian cownose ray at the southern extent of its distribution range. frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Feels so good to have this out in the world! Our latest paper examines the trends and drivers of Australian cownose ray aerial survey sightings in NSW.

Did a bit of public outreach this weekend! It was such a great morning sharing my knowledge of cownose rays with members of the public. Thanks for having me, Joey!

Excited to share my first PhD chapter! Using drones we found rays turnover 21,000 tons of sand annually in an Australian temperate estuary - a greater mass than the Great Sphinx of Giza! Highlighting the importance of rays to the ecosystem 🌊🥞 …lpublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…
