We had a good idea, so we decided to share it! @Nature editor published our correspondence... I guess we can say we published in Nature now @sdhakal 🤩 'Use #LLMs to translate science into #impact' @CSIROnews https://t.co/iLzhog3X51
A moving opening address from @CostasGarden with a formal greeting between local Yugambeh and Māori indigenous community representatives, looking forward to an interesting couple of days #biosym2024
What can you learn about Rutherglen bug with multiple years of study? Forecasting, management and risks in a range of crops including grain sorghum. @HazelScienceNut and @ZoricaDuric

A nice new set of industry info sheets for managing #fruitfly. Interestingly, included in the chem. option tables are indicators of risk of loss of the option.... be nice to see some other risk ratings too for the chems e.g. to the env/biodiversity/biocontrol!
Managing fruit fly is a complex process that requires a long-term sustained approach. To assist #fruitfly affected industries, the National Fruit Fly Council has developed a set of primers, tailored to fruit fly affected industries. Learn more: https://t.co/q5DrZRumZi
Brilliant day out in the #macadamia orchards of the #northernrivers with @SalehAdnan14 and Craig Maddox @nswdpi - learned a lot … excited to begin collaboration on our new #PestREADI project, watch this space!
We completed our steering committee meeting for our new project, Canola Allies. Big thanks to the members (online and in-person) for their advice and guidance on the research we need to prioritise for beneficial species in canola @CSIRO@theGRDC
Apply for one of our two exciting new PhD positions using stingless bees and blue banded bees as managed pollinators of Australian crops! We are studying stingless bee nutrition, pests, propagation techniques, and cross-pollination services. https://t.co/VgJQ7IMvsu @jimpelaJMC
Nice article I just came across published late last year: 3 ways #AI can help #farmers tackle the challenges of modern #agriculture https://t.co/k2cjrtlUry via @ConversationUS
Seeing reports of high populations of #FAW - from the comments looks like large numbers have been seen in many places across Eastern Australia this year.
I’d say 2 weeks ago I’ve just seen biggest hatching of fall armyworm here yet. 20+ per m row. Crop already sprayed and recovered nicely but shows how severe this pest can be even in snsw 😳
I'm also catching up on tweets (or do we say 'Xes' or something now?!) @AnimAlanDorin ! Was great to collaborate on this fantastic work by @ChathurikaDon and to see it published so quickly :) @sciencedirect#BiologicalControl
Great effort on the site #christmastree this year - an #entomology theme! Can’t take any credit other than the large inflatable dragonfly that usually lives in my office 😁 🐜 🐛 🐞
