I must say... what an amazing opportunity to learn from the people leading in their research! lots of amazing science in the past week! #plantviruses #apvw2022 #phd

Really enjoyed this presentation at @hpis2022 this week by @Samanth97963033 - awesome to see iNaturalist incorporated into research, the efforts that go into biological control, and research on an insect you've seen in real life!

These 2 PhD students started their PhDs in 2020 when Melbourne was in lockdown (which continued well into the majority of 2021) - so it was great to see them present their awesome work at #APVW2022 Kamalpreet Kaur and Joanne Mackie

You've heard of elf on the shelf, now get ready for

Eucalyptus vernicosa is one of the smallest species out of the more than 800 in the genus. It occurs in montane areas of Tasmania & tops out at < 3 ft tall. Here it is growing out of 1 billion year old sandstone at 3100' elevation. Like many Eucs, it can resprout post-fire.

Amazing! 🦋 The value of specimen collections!

In the world of #dataviz sometimes art meets science! 🖌👩‍🔬 We plotted parrot data in the ALA to celebrate #WorldParrotDay 🦜 using the dominant plumage shades for each genus 🌈 and created some accidental art in the process! Watch out Monet ‍🎨 @accidental_aRt #rstats #Rtistry

The Sydney Phylogenetics workshop is great! I attended online last year and the #phylogenomics session was really integral to my #PhD chapters focused on #phytoplasma #taxonomy I'm sure it'll be even more fab in-person!
