Congratulations to our PhD @MicrobeMik 🎉🐸👏

[Genetics AustralAsia @GeneticsAus]

Congratulations to the winners of our #GSA2024 student prizes! The Jenny Graves prize for the best lightning talk to Mikaeylah Davidson from the University of Melbourne! 🐸

*me trying to convince everyone at #GSA2024 that we can and should be breeding frogs from improved conservation outcomes

[Mikaeylah Davidson @microbemik.bsky.social @MicrobeMik]

IT’S FINALLY DONE! 🧬💻🐸

It’s taken me nearly 4 years, but I have genotyped ~1,100 Southern Corroboree #frogs 🎉

This mammoth project involved…

[Mikaeylah Davidson @microbemik.bsky.social @MicrobeMik]

Today marks the end of my #PhD lab work;
7 experiments, 13,152 samples and 137 qPCR plates… Done ✔️

[Mikaeylah Davidson @microbemik.bsky.social @MicrobeMik]

🐸 Happy world #frog day 🐸

Heres to this little frog, who reminds me every day what it means to be a conservation biologist, to keep fighting to help conserve our precious wildlife and ecosystems 🫶

I realize I'm a bit late mentioning this paper, but I just wanted to make sure that everyone reads the new assessment on amphibian declines [1/5]. https://t.co/aGNJ9KpmVi

[Mikaeylah Davidson @microbemik.bsky.social @MicrobeMik]

And that's a wrap 💫🐸👩🏼‍🔬

After 3 longs years, Friday marked the end of my last experiment of my #PhD 🥹

I'm not sure what to do without all the #frogs, but if I asked my supervisors I'm sure they'd tell me to get writing 🙈

[Mikaeylah Davidson @microbemik.bsky.social @MicrobeMik]

Tune in to @einstein_agogo today to hear me talk about selective breeding, and how we can use it to assist the conservation of some of our most endangered 🐸🐸🐸

My first #publication as a co-author!! 🥺🥳 We FINALLY got Alpine Tree frogs to breed in #captivity 😱 How did we do it? Overwinter the 🐸 at ❄ temperatures, then put them in outdoor mescosms to experience the 🌤 and 🌧 #firstpaper #new #PhD @LA_Brannelly

OUT NOW 🥳👩🏼‍🔬🐸

So exciting to see my first #PhD chapter published! 🥺

Starting off as an opportunist side project, this has turned into a topic I have become super passionate about and I can’t wait to see where it all ends up! 🤞

[Mikaeylah Davidson @microbemik.bsky.social @MicrobeMik]

Great segment on #frog mortalities, the deadly chytrid fungus and what we’re all trying to do to conserve our native species 🐸 with ⁦@TAKosch⁩ ⁦@deborah_bower⁩ and Mike McFadden ⁦@tarongazoo⁩! https://t.co/RPckOb4yRX

[Mikaeylah Davidson @microbemik.bsky.social @MicrobeMik]

We got the best news today ⬇️🐸👏

Super excited to see this come to fruition, and to now be able to utilise this amazing resource for more #frog disease research! ✨

[Dr Tiffany Kosch (tiffanykosch.bsky.social)👩‍🔬🤿 @TAKosch]

There are still a few days left to apply to do a PhD with us at One Health Research Group @OneHealthRes at @FVASunimelb at @UniMelb. This is an excellent opportunity to use the latest technologies to develop solutions for chytridiomycosis 🐸🍄🧬👩‍🔬👩🏿‍🔬👨‍🔬👨🏾‍🔬

[Dr Tiffany Kosch (tiffanykosch.bsky.social)👩‍🔬🤿 @TAKosch]

Do you love frogs and genetics? We're looking for another PhD student to join our research group at @OneHealthRes at @FVASunimelb at @UniMelb🐸🍄🧬👩‍🔬👩🏿‍🔬👨‍🔬👨🏾‍🔬

[Dr Tiffany Kosch (tiffanykosch.bsky.social)👩‍🔬🤿 @TAKosch]

I'm excited to announce we have started our first large Bd-challenge study in corroboree frogs. This project has been many years in the making. We will be investigating the genetic basis of immunity in this critically endangered species @OneHealthRes @FVASunimelb @MicrobeMik 🐸🧬

@GARD2022 What an incredible conference targeting diseases in our herpetofauna 🐸🐍🦎

Had the best time presenting my work and hearing about the other incredible work from passionate herp researches 🙌
Can’t wait for GARD2.0 🤞

[Dr Tiffany Kosch (tiffanykosch.bsky.social)👩‍🔬🤿 @TAKosch]

I'm so proud of our students at @OneHealthRes who won awards for top presentations and posters at @GARD2022 @FVASunimelb #GARD2022 @MicrobeMik @that_frog_gorl @WreckaWebb

[Dr Tiffany Kosch (tiffanykosch.bsky.social)👩‍🔬🤿 @TAKosch]

I'm having a blast at the first @GARD2022 conference. Yesterday had a chance to talk about my research on amphibian genomics and genetic intervention @OneHealthRes @FVASunimelb #GARD2022
