It was AWESOME! 🤩

On Friday I gave a #SciComedy talk about the #HelmetedHoneyeater at the #MelbourneIntlComedyFestival 😱 It was a full house and I had an absolute blast!!!

Thanks to Future Science Talks and everyone that came to support us

Honoured to receive the 2024 Award for Excellence in Graduate Supervision from the Australian Council for Graduate Research. A big thanks to Monash University Monash Science School of Biological Sciences, Monash, my colleagues and role models (especially Keogh Lab and Michael Jennions) and my awesome students.

There will be a mitochondrial symposium at #Evol2024 Evolution Meetings 🥳. Organised by Sophie Breton and Andrea Pozzi.

Please submit abstract soon as places might fill up. Hope to see you there! 🎇

Thank you so much for having me Her Research Matters 🙏 grateful for the opportunity to share my story & thoughts about how we advance EDI 💪 and meet everyone that also advocates for EDI

Sandra Donkervoot et al established that pathogenic variants in TNNI1 result in either a hypo- or hypercontractile disease mechanism which, may be amendable to a troponin activator, or the myosin inhibitor mavacamten, respectively. Rob Bryson-Richardson science.org/doi/full/10.11…

Can we protect bats from increasing urbanization in global diversity hotspots? Genie Fleming et al found that nature-based upgrades in informal settlements can potentially enhance the suitability of urban zones for both bats and people. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Grant Duffy

Are we affecting sexual selection? Anthropogenic alterations to sexual display and mate preference can affect species recognition or weaken divergence via sexual selection, leading to higher rates of hybridization and biodiversity loss cell.com/trends/ecology… Bob Wong

Should we focus conservation efforts on threatened species or threatened ecological communities? Javiera Olivares-Rojas, PhD Carly Cook and Jessica Walsh found that focusing on species management resulted in more actions considered and more benefits. conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdfdirect/…

My piece on experimental design and causal inference in ecology & evolution is out in Ecology Letters to day. I'll provide some context on why I think inadequate experimental design in our field is limiting inferences & causing papers to be rejected 🧵onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11…
