@DryRiverbedGirl @AusFreshwater @ASNEvents @_NZFSS @BenthosNews Abso-bloody-lutely. What a fantastic week at #FreshWaterDownunder. Thanks to @ASNEvents for a brilliantly run event. @AusFreshwater @BenthosNews

Early candidate for this year's @AusFreshwater Door Prize at #FreshWaterDownunder is Brisbane's AirTrain. Off the rails just when 700 delegates are arriving at the airport☹️

[Angus Webb @angus_webb]

I'm getting super excited for #FreshWaterDownunder. On my way to the airport now to leave grey old Melbourne. See you all tonight.

@EasternCricket In Richmond, there was zero rain between 2:00pm and 7:50pm. The pitch was dry, the ground was dry. We could have played and probably finished. Enough of these blanket cancellations. Let the teams decice.

[Angus Webb @angus_webb]

@JohnKominoski @BenthosNews @AusFreshwater @TeWaiMaori @ASNEvents And super convenient too. I'm on the train direct from the Convention Centre to the airport.

[Angus Webb @angus_webb]

@EasternCricket This is a terrible decision. We'll never get back to anything approaching normal with knee-jerk reactions like this.

Also protesting 5G towers, vaccinations and Bill Gates but would make the headline look silly wouldnt it?

Trying to bring some balance into reporting of issues with the Murray Darling Basin Plan @engunimelb @mdba @theCEWH

[Angus Webb @angus_webb]

We're looking for volunteers to test the evidence capture pages for the EcoEvidEx. About 15-20 minutes to process one of your own papers, which will then go into the database when it's released. Start at https://t.co/ZQVmT7yT4U

[Angus Webb @angus_webb]

This is an initiative we've been working on to get better value from environmental research in the published literature. We need contributors, so please check it out.

[Freshwater Science @BenthosNews]

The Ecological Evidence Exchange will provide a new way to share your research with decision makers. Read more about it here and help with testing!

Huge news for the Society for Freshwater Science. More to come in the weeks ahead.

[Freshwater Science @BenthosNews]

The Society of Freshwater Science is pleased to announce that our 2021 annual meeting will be held in Brisbane, Australia. This will be our first SFS meeting outside of North America. We will post updates on the details of our plans in the weeks and months ahead.

The Murray-Darling Basin Plan IS achieving benefits for the environment (https://t.co/OBl7UtA2sR). A positive counter message to most of what you might read. @theCEWH @MD_Basin_Auth @engunimelb #environmentalflows #environmentalwater #uomwater

Following our assessment of the poor state of evidence for fishway construction in the southern hemisphere, a group of us led by Martin Wilkes set out to use novel methods to inform this important issue. The result - FISH-Net - has just been published https://t.co/8Nu6gGnSxC

[Angus Webb @angus_webb]

How much evidence supports fish passage design in the southern hemisphere? Not much as it turns out, with most research coming from northern hemisphere research on commercial species like Salmon. New paper with Martin Wilkes tells the story: https://t.co/hf0atLreJq

[Angus Webb @angus_webb]

This is something we've been working on for years - capturing the findings of papers so that they can be used in evidence syntheses to inform science and management. So much better if we can get study authors to do it straight up. Kudos to Freshwater Science @BenthosNews https://t.co/yCnutkkGzh

[Angus Webb @angus_webb]

@DrBioGC @jrblasz Well done Jo!

Will water ever be more valuable than oil? (https://t.co/7MKc407jDB). Water trade in the Murray-Darling Basis realizes value, improves efficiency of water use, and was critical during the Millennium Drought. #environmentalflows #environmentalwater #uomwater @engunimelb @theCEWH

Murray-Darling Basin Plan environmental flows are leading to improvements in the environment. See the story in Pursuit today (https://t.co/s21ww0F0BN) about our work in the Goulburn River, Victoria. #uomwater #environmentalwater #environmentalflows @theCEWH @engunimelb @gbcma

[Angus Webb @angus_webb]

And one final message on this thread. A full-text 'view-only' version of the synthesis paper from the Special Issue of Environmental Management is available free of charge to all readers at https://t.co/ygimAta7rd #uomwater, #environmentalwater, @theCEWH, @engunimelb
