How lovely are these cuties🥰🥰

Impostor syndrome: “I don't know what I'm doing. It's only a matter of time until everyone finds out." Growth mindset: "I don't know what I'm doing yet. It's only a matter of time until I figure it out." The highest form of self-confidence is believing in your ability to learn.

Super happy and excited to represent HKU (and iBEER Lab) for the U21 3MT comp. I would really appreciate it if you can spare some time and cast your vote for my 3MT thesis video: universitas21.com/3MT2022 😁

Wonderful lightning talk experience at #EBRS2022! Big thanks to my supervisors Timothy Bonebrake Dr Caroline Dingle, organizers HKU Biology Graduate Student Association, and those who liked my work on illegal timber trade network analysis! Next up: #BES2022🇬🇧🇬🇧 #illegalwildlifetrade #Academictwitter #phdlife #phdchat

Will be doing a poster presentation (spot B4.5) at 17:00-18:30 today at #BES2022 on Chinese illegal timber trade networks. Feel free to come have a chat about #timbertrade and #timberconservation 🌳🌿

Had a wonderful time at #BES2022 and saw a lot of great presentations. But I was particularly impressed (with some bias perhaps) by all of the great work by HKU School of Biological Sciences HKU_Science postgraduates and postdocs. Congrats all.

First international conference! #ITRS2023

Spent much of the winter break reformatting my course in enviro data analysis (mostly using R, some QGIS). Excited to give the new lab manual a spin! I’ve posted a copy on my website for anyone interested tropicalconslab.com/courses

Great day in Coimbatore followed by the #atbc2023 opening ceremony 😊 Looking forward to a great week of talks, new friends and lots of fun!!

Thank you for including me and giving me the opportunity to present in your #atbc2023 #wildlifetrade symposium Laura E Boeschoten, Even Leung and @Pieter_Zuidema!

#icwt2024 final talk session starting with our own HKU Even Leung presenting some of her timber trade work, then Ming Chuan Woo from HK birdwatching society on their helmeted hornbill work and Jessica Rizzolo from Oregon state university presenting some of her TCM research

Even Leung shares her awesome #PhD work on #timbertrade showing #HongKong as a hub for #timbertrade from #India #UAE and #Vietnam to #Fujian #China using social network analysis 🧐 🪵🌳 #SWFS2024 SWFS HKU_Science Conservation Forensics @HKU HKU School of Biological Sciences The University of Hong Kong

Some excitement at the end of the year here in our Hong Kong butterfly work. Ling Yuet Fung managed to capture a tagged Parantica sita that had flown over 3000 km (in more than 120 days) from Japan. A new record for the species hku.hk/press/news_det…
