Starting Day 3 with the President's Early Researcher Award plenary. Congratulations Linette Umbrello #AusMammSoc24

Another fantastic first-conference presentation by a dedicated student of mine, Ryan Sauermann, who is establishing a SNP panel to aid genetic understanding and management of fat-tailed #dunnarts! Great work Ryan! #AusMammSoc2024 The Australian Mammal Society

Another MamSoc down... Except this time, I took great pride in accepting nomination for Conservation Officer of the The Australian Mammal Society Society Council, for 2024-2027. I'll continue my efforts to protect our unique mammals... But with an army of inspiring mentors beside me! Let's go! 💪

I never get tired of listening to Dr Marissa Parrott communicate #science! 😍 How incredible to watch a species be brought back from #extinction, now live freely in the wild, doing so well, captive management was ceased 🙌👏 Zoos Victoria The Australian Mammal Society

What a team!! The Australian Mammal Society is in good hands!! 😊💪

So proud of Dr Emily Scicluna 🌏 and her fight to save a species!! Wonderful talk!! #AusMammSoc24 #Conservation The Australian Mammal Society
