My recent article in @QRevBiol on how AI might influence human evolution is intended as a conversation starter. But it runs >16k words. Before you make that commitment, see this quick intro at @ConversationEDU. Then stay for the paper.

Here’s to our first annual workshop as an official @arc_gov_au Centre of Excellence.

We said a heartfelt thanks to our inspirational friends at @ClimateExtremes for their hard work over the last seven years.

Now we’re ready for more exciting research challenges ahead!

New research often revises species taxonomies. Without a clear crosswalk, old datasets & studies can be challenging to amalgamate. #R package APCalign helps solve this, aligning names to #AustralianPlantCensus. Elizabeth Wenk & colleagues @UNSW @unswbees https://t.co/AjfBejK26D
