Our crew at @cesaraustralia and @enviro_DNA had some furry fun with our #TSBakeoff entry: The mountain pygmy possum and bogong moth. Hope to see more in the wild and not just in icing in the future #possummagic @TSCommissioner @platypusSPOT

Was a pleasure to be a part of of Binary Shift conference and the growing startup, innovation and tech energy in Gippsland

[Binary Shift Conference @binaryshiftconf]

What does your business model look like? @enviro_DNA #DIFvic #binaryshift #gippsnews

[Helen Barclay @HelsBarclay]

Gippsland startups at #BinaryShift talking about their journeys. Importance of validating ideas with customers - find out their pain points, reaching out to mentors - get advice/bounce around ideas. @StephThoo @StartupGipps - & exciting to hear 46 startups the program this yr!

[Helen Barclay @HelsBarclay]

Talking Victoria’s ecosystem @fasttrackjudy at #BinaryShift in Gippsland. Vic not yet in top 30 start-up ecosystems in the world - BUT one of the fastest growing...get amongst it!

So excited to be part of this ground breaking project in Oz! #eDNA makes waves in @MelbourneWater catchment monitoring via 'Aquablitz'.340 sites surveyed in 25,000 kilometres waterways. More than 179 species mapped! #metabarcoding #biodiversity #data https://t.co/DfU5O5NsXM

@vline_gippsland Any update on coach arrival at westall? We aren’t getting any updates while we all wait patiently near the train replacement bus stop. Some rough times would be useful please

One of the ways this cute little critter, the Gile's Planigale, is being helped is through the delivery of environmental water to wetlands and creeks. Planigales are listed as a threatened species. https://t.co/O4LpVRICb4

Dear Santa/twittersphere, we're pulling out all stops to find our perfect new office & lab space in Melbourne for our growing teams at @enviro_DNA and @cesaraustralia! Wish list attached :) Do you know someone or something?

[@TSCommissioner @TSCommissioner]

What's that critter? 🐛 While it might look like a snake, this fascinating critter is, in fact, the Giant Gippsland Earthworm. Growing around 1m long, this invertebrate is one of the largest earthworms in the world! Read more ➡️ https://t.co/txwxkEMIqh

In celebration of Australian Pollinators Week, we’re chipping-in with what just might be the world’s cutest pollinator - the Honey Possum. It plays a critical role in its ecosystems: https://t.co/s9Wfjdnty4

16 farm dams in west Gippsland got some extra attention yesterday from a bunch of farmers & locals taking #eDNA samples to detect wildlife. Dams can provide important support for biodiversity in agri landscapes #citizenscience @AusLandcare @landcarevic @WPCLNLandcare @CitSciOZ

The best news article I have ready about my itchy nose - loving the #datadriven journalism. 'Why you get hay fever (and what you can do about it)' https://t.co/PPPFy6gxzn via @theage @CraigDButt

Feeling a new found love for mangroves! Amazon mangroves store twice as much carbon per acre as region's famous rainforest. They also help protect against the impact of storms & are a biodiversity nursery. Unfortunately they are being cleared! https://t.co/AMwtAfExAS

Tim Flannery-what a legend. Heard him speak last night @MSSIMelb about his incredible conservation & reconciliation work in the Solomon Islands. An adventurous story! My eyes opened to the dramatic history/conflict, rich culture and unique wildlife of this archipelago.

[Mike Letnic @mikeletnic]

Cane toads are using dams which provide water for cattle as stepping stones to expand their range into increasingly arid areas. If we cut off their access to water, we can keep them out of large areas of arid Australia and could stop toads from invading the Pilbara.
