Hey @TransportforNSW why do the light rail platform information boards spend more time displaying warnings about holding on and tapping on than telling us when the next service is? Minor gripe but it compromises the flow of an otherwise delightful transit mode.

@reynoldsrd @fictillius May I introduce you to the City of Casey?

In today’s episode of odd things you do for work, this morning I arranged to meet someone in a carpark to hand over a lunchbox full of aphid-covered parsley.

@hondartzara @yimbymelbourne @Blue_Pie_Ninja Love this!
For me it’s:
…the opportunity to have a wee little nap
…the chance to eat my muesli in a leisurely fashion
…15min to extend my Duolingo streak
…one of the few opportunities in this busy world to just sit and read a book

After three years as Cranbourne’s bandicoot lady, I’m handing over the reins and heading off on an international adventure. The SBBs sent out a farewell party 🎉

@knightd73 @Dr_Rob_Davis With quenda/bandicoots around you’d want to be v careful with placement somewhere they can’t reach - and we’ve seen some pretty impressive running jumps from bandis recently. Inquisitive hungry little buggers.

[Charlotte Fletcher @BattyLotte]

@Dr_Rob_Davis Anecdotally, my fam have had success with these for rats on their farm in NZ. Keep us posted!

@HollyKirk @cityofmelbourne @BirdlifeOz Looks like still a few spots left in the survey session at 8am this Sunday! There's a few birds banded now so it's a good time to go out and see if you can spot them. https://t.co/DT6dJXMag0

Speaking of fairy-wrens... #ESAus21 Melbourne Tweeps, did you know you can contribute to our Super City Wrens project by hunting for our banded fairy-wrens in & around Royal Park?

Which birds will you spot!?

Montage of superb fairy-wren nests, discovered in the course of our research. The frame is usually built from a combination of spider web and grass, with a very soft inner lining of feathers and fur. #WildOz #birds

Our thanks to Jen from @deafaustralia for showing us how to say #animal and #bandicoot in Auslan!

Thanks so much Jen. You rock!

#citizenscience

" The first sign is the animal (shows sign). The second sign is for the game (shows sign), after the tongue! Thanks for asking!"

@deafaustralia @CitSciOZ @viiith_nerve @InspiringNsw @EcolSocAus @Sydney_Science @RBG_Victoria Thank you so much, Jen!

[Charlotte Fletcher @BattyLotte]

@InspiringNsw @EcolSocAus @CitSciOZ @Sydney_Science @RBG_Victoria The best bit of this presentation was undoubtedly Amber's impressive skills fingerspelling "bandicoot" all the time for the Auslan interpretation!

[Charlotte Fletcher @BattyLotte]

@InspiringNsw @EcolSocAus @CitSciOZ @Sydney_Science Thanks for the plug! For those who missed it, the video is here on the @RBG_Victoria facebook page: https://t.co/gt1H9PLhF8

[Dr Emma Beckett @DrEmmaBeckett]

@emmabrice3 @hecivan70 There is no evidence-based epidemiological reason that the lockdowns need to match between the states and the continued over simplification that the lack of matching explains the differences in case loads is just galling. The heterogeneity goes deeper than just the responses.

Just a few days left for applications for our Ecologist position in Victoria, and we've got far fewer than expected. C'mon ecologists get your boots on! https://t.co/qkPStHVw1T
