"Experimental design and statistical analysis in aquatic live animal radiotracing studies"...a must read for anyone in ecotoxicology conducting lab studies. Great work Sarah @_gone_fission. https://t.co/WfG1xcS4kj

[Suzie Reichman @Reichman_Lab]

Thanks @_gone_fission and @gmay_sinclair for the invitation to chat at the #SETACAU2021 student night yesterday about my career and how to use all your experience (not just papers, grants and prizes) to maximise your chances of getting the type of job you want.

Up to a million fish have died along a 40-kilometre stretch of the Darling River in NSW, just weeks after an earlier fish kill in the same region https://t.co/btQEQhzfsj

I was very excited to present some of my current ecotox research at @AINSE_Ltd 60th birthday yesterday!

[AINSE Ltd. @AINSE_Ltd]

Tonight, the 60th anniversary of @AINSE_Ltd is being celebrated at a special banquet in the @austmus. AINSE Councillors from across Australia and New Zealand have joined AINSE alumni to share the stories of AINSE’s past, present and future.

A whale has washed up that was found to contain:
115 plastic cups
25 plastic bags
4 plastic bottles
2 flip-flops
1 nylon sack
1000+ other plastic pieces

It's never been a better time to reduce the amount of single-use plastic you use.

Interesting article in @theage today! (Ignore the front pages about the @melbournecup) Original article is in @NatureComms 🕷🐠🦆 #ecotox

Saw this sweet #ecology poster on a walk today!

31 birds in 20 mins for the first day of #AussieBirdCount @ANSTO is the place to be... especially if you are a Masked lapwing! 🦆

[Sarah McDonald @_gone_fission]

The best way to start the day is with a bird count! 🦅 #AussieBirdCount

[BirdLife Australia @BirdlifeOz]

#AussieBirdCount starts tomorrow! Birds love a bath — adding a bird bath to your backyard is a great way to attract more birds. Let us know which birds are loving your backyard, 22-28 October. https://t.co/6QcSd7d8gD

Thank you to @julia_zemiro for lending her voice to the birds!

Unintentional #halloween costume 🦐🦞

n.b. unlike Zoidberg I was wearing lab appropriate footwear

Botanising @ANSTO with fellow @AINSE_Ltd #PGRA pals

[Sarah McDonald @_gone_fission]

Sad that neither the flathead gudgeon OR the bluespot goby didn't make the #AusFaveFish shortlist! My vote is going to the lungfish #freshwaterfish 🐟

[ASFB @AustSocFishBiol]

The #AusFaveFish poll remains open until Oct 31. Murray cod—which seemed so secure—has lost the leadership, and the great white shark is ominously circling.

5. Great white shark
4. Hoodwinker sunfish
3. Weedy seadragon
2. Murray cod
1. Leafy seadragon

Best way to celebrate #nuclearscienceweek is with fellow @AINSE_Ltd #PGRA students 💥

[AINSE Ltd. @AINSE_Ltd]

On day 2 of @AINSE_Ltd's #PGRA O'Week, students met with @ANSTO researchers, including @sci_dale and @heab, before touring @ANSTO's OPAL Multipurpose Reactor, Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering, and Centre for Accelerator Science. #nuclear #science #nuclearscienceweek
