Watch this space for meeting our current LEGS Lab members! We're excited to introduce ourselves and what we are currently working on 😁

Hi, I'm Professor Mike Gardner Mike Gardner, the head of the Legs Flinders University. We work on evolutionary questions in sleepy lizards - continuing work started in 1982 by Mike Bull -as well as the endangered pygmy blue-tongue. The highly social gidgee skink is where my work began

Hi, I’m Dr Amy Slender Amy Lee Slender. I’m a part-time research associate for LEGS Flinders University. I use genetic/genomic techniques to understand ecology and evolution. The best part of my job is training & inspiring students.

Applications for the 2023 #FundamentalEcology Award are now open! This $5000 research award supports a postgraduate student working in the field of fundamental ecology. For more information: ecolsoc.org.au/awards/student… Applications close 30 September. 📷️: Colby James

Hi, my name is Lynea Lynea Witczak, Ph.D. (she/her/hers), I'm a postdoc here Flinders University on a Fulbright Australia scholarship where I'm researching the neurobiology of sleepy lizard pair bonding, teaching animal handling and other courses and co-supervising honours candidates

Hi, I’m Dr Gerrut Norval Gerrut Norval. I’m a part-time research assistant for LEGS Flinders University. I use natural history studies and chance observations to elucidate the ecology of parasites (primarily ticks) and their hosts.

Hey! Im Sebastian Rea Sebastian. I'm a current honours student for LEGS Flinders University. My research looks into training a sniffer dog to locate pygmy blue tongue lizards allowing for easier monitoring and a deeper understanding of the endangered lizards!

Hi! I’m Em Emily Vonderwall, I am currently an Honours student Flinders University looking at defining the natural fluctuations of Oxytocin and Dopamine in pair bonded sleepy lizards. My undergrad was in Marine Bio & Aquaculture. My fav thing about LEGS is working with amazing academics☺️

Hi, I'm Amy, and I am currently a part time Honours student Flinders University. I completed my Bachelor of Behavioural Science/Bachelor of Science (Animal Behaviour) in 2022. I am currently researching the immune response of pair-bonded sleepy lizards.

Hi! My name is Gabriela. I'm currently an Honours student Flinders University looking at identifying three potential blood parasites in sleepy lizards and understanding if these blood parasites differ across the boundary of two tick species (A. limbatum & B. hydrosauri) at Bundey Bore😁

We have an INTERN POSITION OPEN (unpaid) for a study on personality differences across sexes in Gidgee skinks Location: Flinders University, Adelaide For more details send an email before 1st December 2023 to [email protected]

Fun Request - Name our Sleepies! With Em Emily Vonderwall being out in the field, naming the lizards makes their life more entertaining. Leave some suggestions in the comments and we will name the lizards after them 😁 ✨puns✨ = bonus points
