Loved working with these awesome #WomenInSTEM, thanks to Ecological Society of Australia for the opportunity

Happy #InternationalAsexualityDay lovelies! 🖤💜

New Special Issue #AustralEcology article: #researcher - #school partnerships can be fruitful #CitizenScience projects yet represent #challenges. 5 #womeninSTEM offer #recommendations based on a project on #insects in schools. Ecological Society of Australia @wileyecology bit.ly/3lCzhsF

So excited to read this when it comes out! #QuestionsRaisedByQuolls

Magnificent malleefowl! My carrot cake with pecan entry for the #TSbakeoff! The carrots came from the garden, and although the tops are much too lush for mallee they look good. Mallefowl are #EcosystemEngineers that turn over leaf litter into the soil

I can't believe it!! My camera trap caught the exact moment a baby curlew started to hatch!! AND her first wobbly steps. My heart is so full! Welcome to the world little one, in your safe haven home at Mulligans Flat MFGO Woodland Exp [cultural warning: curlew footage]

Thank you “Team Tingle” for a successful pitfall survey week⁩. We’ve had some good times and collected stacks of data for ⁦Arid Recovery⁩’s 25th year. 🌈 ⁦Dr Catherine Ross⁩ ⁦@shornwater⁩

New PhD opportunity with Western Sydney University and Bush Heritage to model vegetation dieback and recovery in the semi-arid rangelands under climate change. Working with Professor Belinda Medlyn, Graeme Finlayson and Katherine Tuft More info and apply here: bit.ly/36hWfC2

LADS: If blokes you know think a man is great but women you know aren't fans of him, chances are he isn't that great and the guys either ignore, excuse or are spared his worst sides. I'm sick of men like "Women don't like Morrison. Why?" rather than asking why so many men do.

PhD students aren't students in the traditional sense. They are conducting real research. They are contributing a huge amount of the total labour of our academic research, underpaid and undervalued on two-thirds of the minimum wage theconversation.com/how-are-phd-st… via The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand

A while back I asked Adam Bandt to respond to the oft-heard accusation that the Greens are reponsible for "a lost decade of climate inaction", and since Albanese revived that accusation the other day, I'd like to revive this interview and Adam's response: youtube.com/watch?v=WBRf4b…

Did you know reintroduction articles often target charismatic species of least concern, especially in high GDP countries? We need to invest in imperilled and functionally important species, and support these efforts in countries with fewer resources 🌏 doi.org/10.1016/j.gecc…

Not my ‘First Speech’, but I did get to address the Senate a couple of times today. During a discussion about climate action and new coal and gas projects, and earlier in the day when I spoke about the State of the Environment report and our natural heritage.

Would love to know what our new gov is doing about this ongoing partnership between Questacon and one of Australia's biggest emitters. This video is so flawed. Ed Husic doesn't appear to be on Twitter (?). Perhaps Chris Bowen and Tanya Plibersek can help pass on the question?

The Government says it can't afford to save the environment alone, and needs the help of private industry 'investment'. As @pollyjhemming and @RDNS_TAI explain, this is just an excuse to offset more environmental destruction. #auspol New Spin Bin out now! youtu.be/2Q4MAyHbGZY

Characteristics of #oldgrowthgrasslands include plants with below-ground storage organs like this Pelargonium in Australian grasslands

Dear Anthony Albanese & @Tanya_Plibersek, Australia's > 2000 threatened species & ecological communities would like to know why there's $11.6B for fossil fuel subsidies, > $240B for stage 3 tax cuts, but just $225 million for the Saving Native Species program? theconversation.com/labors-plan-to…

Do you know many eastern quolls it will take to remove them from the IUCN Red List - 100, 1000, or 10,000? 🟥 By sending the #doomedsurplus from reintroduced populations to other sites, we can build numbers to achieve #stretchgoals for species recovery! ✅ bit.ly/3i5ZOS3

Which species dominate translocation science? Drumroll... it's the large charismatic mammals (surprise)! 🐆🦬🐘🐑 The field is also dominated by barriers like location + language - so small projects in biodiversity hotspots are often underrepresented 🌏 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ec…

Check out the latest edition of Double Helix magazine featuring an article by yours truly and Dr Belinda Wilson about the reintroduction of the eastern quoll to Mulligans Flat ! We even made the cover!
