Out setting a trap next to what I thought was a quoll den, & this little devil came out & started yelling at me!
No quolls here, that’s me told…
Me: Woot! My first Conversation article is out. I hope nothing newsworthy happens so it can soak up some newsy rays!
Gladys Berejiklian: BTW, I quit.
Me:
Really excited that @arludo has made it to the finals! Really shows that what we are doing for science communication is recognised as the best in the world. Couldn't be prouder ☺ #scicomm#STEM#science

ANOVA is fading away, GLMs are on the rise...This and many other "Trends in ecology and conservation over eight decades" - and interesting read for ecologists https://t.co/oBgaQ1Rtcg
I met a scientist who was just trying to do good science.
No Nobel prize fetish.
No imposter syndrome.
No deep desire for flashy publications.
No venting about evil reviewers.
No need to gossip about other scientists.
Only doing good science.
Like a psychopath.
BREAKING: Australia's Great Barrier Reef will not be placed on the "World Heritage in Danger" list, after the 21-country committee ignored the scientific assessment of Unesco that the site was clearly at risk. Story to come.
Just taking a moment to think about how utterly excellent echidnas are (including this one, photographed by Phill Laroche at our Silver Plains property)
