Moving away from fish and sharks and measuring rocks. It's strangely satisfying, and beautiful lauraryansci #researchers


Bluelined goatfish can change colour & pattern in seconds. My first PhD paper (yay) shows that goatfish can perceive these rapid changes, which may provide advantages in communication #neuroscience Jane Williamson @MQBiology Science and Engineering @ MQU Check it out: karger.com/Article/FullTe…


Measuring rocks last week, catching fish at uni this week. I love our #research is so varied lauraryansci Science and Engineering @ MQU r


Our neurobiology lab teamed up with the amazing Living Seawalls crew this week to install 2 new experiments. What a great team of people to work with. Melanie Bishop lauraryansci Brendan Lanham Ze Hoe Lee Steph Bagala @millennial_sci


It's fitting that on #WomeninScienceDay we nailed a morning of productive science with an all girl team. Such an outstanding bunch of scientists to work with #WomenInSTEM Science and Engineering @ MQU lauraryansci @millennial_sci




This weekend the post-docs were tasked with getting samples for our neurobiology lab. lauraryansci and I would suggest that they had the A-team on the job #science #research Science and Engineering @ MQU


The Living Seawalls are featured at the Sydney Biennale. So great to see such functional design that looks so beautiful. Excellent work team Melanie Bishop #science #Sydney


COOL NEW PAPER led by lauraryansci uses cam tags to understand how tiger sharks visually experience interactions with sea turtles. Our results suggest sharks detect prey that produce greater motion cues, while reduced movements may camouflage turtles. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…


Our new paper looking at tiger shark interactions with turtles through the eyes of the shark. Staying still helps keep turtles camouflaged. Unique combo of neuro and animal borne tags thanks to Sammy Andrzejaczek. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Hugely excited that Living Seawalls will be a key component in this multi-faceted program reviving Sydney Harbour marine life and the important socio-economic values that healthy marine ecosystems sustain.

We are the Neurobiology Lab, but we are so much more than eyes. Led by Professor Nathan Hart, we study animal sensory systems to understand how they perceive and interact with their environments.

JOB!!!! We are looking for a Research Officer with a background in wet laboratory neuroscience, histology, and molecular biology. Full time position in a great university with some fantastic people Macquarie University School of Natural Sciences Science and Engineering @ MQU seek.com.au/job/58407267

Our lab is on the Gold Coast for 3 weeks. We're predominately studying electroreception in #sharks. We've had three super early starts and we're all still smiling. What a team Macquarie University School of Natural Sciences


🩸🦈SHARKS CAN SMELL A DROP OF BLOOD FROM A MILE AWAY! Bet you've heard this a million times, but do you know how scientists figure out what sharks can smell and why it is critical to know? If curious, check out my talk at Sharks International at 08:45 UTC in less than 24 hours!


A Sunday funday post. After a week of hard work we had some super fun treats in between an incredibly successful day of trials. Macquarie University School of Natural Sciences #neuroscience #sundayfunday


Meet the head of our lab, Professor Nathan Hart, aka ‘The Boss’. Nathan is a world leader in comparative sensory biology. He is currently finding new ways to protect people from #shark bites & learning how brain hemispheres become specialised for different behaviours Macquarie University School of Natural Sciences


Happy 2023! Our lab group is super excited for all the #research we’ve got planned this year. Looking forward to sharing some of the cool things we get up to this year Macquarie University School of Natural Sciences


Shout out to the brilliant, smart and incredibly strong women that we are lucky to have in our lab #InternationalWomansDay #IWD2023 Macquarie University School of Natural Sciences Science and Engineering @ MQU
