Hot off the press: @LachlanCampbe18 has cracked how to freeze and retrieve motile #lizard sperm (a staggering 50%)! The secret ingredient? Caffeine! Turns out lizards might need their morning coffee too! ☕️☕️☕️

Super stoked to have the first PhD chapter out! Big step forward in #lizard #conservation, freezing and reviving threatened goanna sperm! The secret ingredient for success? Caffeine! A super ingredient for PhDs and #sperm...

Hot off the press: non-lethal infections of the #amphibian #chytrid fungus result in smaller testes and reduced fat in male #frogs.
