The flying doctors squad unites! Excited to be heading to SRB in Christchurch- See you soon repro friends! SRB 👨‍🔬✈️

⁦Andrew Pask⁩ from ⁦University of Melbourne⁩ presenting the ⁦ESA-SRB-ANZBMS⁩ Plenary on endocrine disrupting chemicals and their impact on reproductive health. A legend of ⁦SRB⁩!!

Thanks to our incredible #SeriesB funders, we're thrilled to announce the launch of our new Avian Genomics Group, whose first undertaking will be the de-extinction of the iconic #dodo 🦤 bird. #itiscolossal Rediscover the dodo: colossal.com/dodo

And it begins! Interrogating of NCC development in dasyurid marsupials 🤩 Mid-gestation dunnart embryo visualized with DAPI and SOX10 probe, thanks to Molecular Instruments.

Thanks @SciclunaEmily! The dunnart uterus is fascinating and I'm excited to continue finding out new things abut this incredible organ that continues to blow my mind!

🚨PROJECT OPPORTUNITY🚨 Looking for a student interested in #ecology and #genetics to pursue a #PhDproject or #Mastersproject at BioSciences UniMelb looking for remnant populations of #fattaileddunnarts around Victoria, and assessing #populationgenetics. #PhDopportunity

Thanks Forbes Australia Shivaune Field for a great article! @itiscolossal #thylacine #deextinction forbes.com.au/news/innovatio… BioSciences UniMelb University of Melbourne

A map of mouse 🐭 development from conception to birth tracks 12.4 million cells at single-cell resolution as they mature into organs and other tissues. Check it out here at nature SRB #reprorocks nature.com/articles/d4158…

A great review on a really interesting reproduction process! #diapause

Our story just posted in The Conversation – Africa: African wild dogs will soon have their own sperm bank – how artificial breeding will help them survive. Please share... theconversation.com/african-wild-d…

This was such a great conference! Looking forward to SRB in 2024!

Great to see science and wildlife such a popular media story today! Helps the community to understand why genetic diversity is important to maintaining species in the wild! Kathy Belov abc.net.au/news/science/2…

Read the commentary that amy winship and I wrote on a new study that has linked traffic noise and pollution to infertility - but the effects differed for men and women theconversation.com/a-new-study-ha… via The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand SRB BioSciences UniMelb #EDC #fertility

🔬 Conservation scientists are studying the the fat-tailed #dunnart (#Sminthopsiscrassicaudata) to improve understanding of #marsupialreproduction. 📊 Aussie researchers tracked female cycles and mapped #embryogrowth, revealing accelerated development. 🧬

I visited the Adelaide Botanic Gardens 🌿 on my way to the SRB conference this week- anyone else think this water lilly looks like a placenta? 🧐 Very fitting!

Fantastic talk given by Prof Andrew Pask of University of Melbourne on developing genetic engineering models & biobanks to safeguard Australian marsupials from extinction! 🐭🦘 His work on creating Cane toad-resistant dunnarts & quolls is groundbreaking! #EMBLAPhD #GeneticEngineering
