So impressed with the Bake Your Research entries for #ScienceWeek James Cook Uni. Huge effort from all contestants!

Pom pom crab believes in you ヽ(*・ω・)ﾉ⁠ ⁠ Although the cheerleader crab (Lybia tessellata) looks like they're cheering someone on, they actually protect themselves by attaching sea anemones to both hands 🦀 ⁠ #pompomcrab #cheerleadercrab #boxercrab #goodluck #ocean

I set up my own home aquarium as a way of getting into a new hobby and adding some character to my new Townsville home. It’s been very satisfying, although my work life and personal life are becoming a bit blurred 😅 #homeaquarium #guppies

Great pre-completion seminar by masters student Kate Chu. It was exciting to be involved in this project and now see the cool results!

Such an inspiration 😊

Which fish will win?! #Gambusia #mosquitofish #swimmingspeed

Still adjusting to the heat and humidity of North Queensland but a recent highlight was getting to see fireflies for the first time. Got a shot of one on my hand - such amazing creatures! #WildOz #firefly #bioluminescence

My AES flash talk (top left) is done! Great presentations all round ☺️

Summertime on campus and the ponds near the #EddieKoikiMaboLibrary are doing their thing. #jcu #jcutownsville #nymphaea

A variety of species across the animal kingdom can reproduce both sexually and asexually, including some types of starfish, water fleas, hammerhead sharks and Komodo dragons. James Cook Uni theconversation.com/facultative-se…

I wrote an article for The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand about facultative sex, after I found out that many people outside of biology have never heard of the concept. I think it's such a neat ability that everyone should know about! Read it here: theconversation.com/facultative-se…

Time for your annual reminder that it’s Tasmanian devil dispersal season! This means young devils out finding their way in the world are particularly vulnerable, & often drawn towards roads for easy passage & food. So watch your speed on Tassie roads this season (& always!)

I’ve set up a second aquarium with some corys and danios, in addition to my guppy aquarium. Might be starting to get a little fish obsessed 😅 #homeaquarium #corydoras #corycatfish #zebrafish #daniorerio

New frog alert! 🐸

Reviewing footage from our boldness testing arenas… looks like fish can also get the zoomies! #gambusia #fishbehaviour #zoomies

As a part of our phenotype analysis I present to you… fish racing 🏁 #fishexperiments #gambusia #swimmingspeed #fishrace

A big congratulations to Dr Gabriela Melo (co-supervised with A/Prof Matt Hall and Dr Jake Martin) on her graduation day 🥳 School of Biological Sciences, Monash #BobWongLab

So excited to be in Taipei for the 12th Indo-Pacific Fish Conference! #IPFC2025

My first time sharing some of my findings from my James Cook Uni postdoc, looking at how temperature impacts spinal development in eastern mosquitofish #IPFC2025 #gambusia #fishbiology
