That time I went to SE Asia to help @MadieKCooper collect eDNA samples and the difficulties of sampling in foreign and developing countries became too real :) What a great experience!

[Madie Cooper @MadieKCooper]

Thrilled to learn about the diverse and exciting research from Can Tho University Fisheries and Aquaculture after a brief seminar on eDNA and sawfish conservation with students, postgrads and staff & a week of eDNA collection on the Mekong for #GlobalSawfishSearch

I wrote a short blog what we’ve been up to in the #eDNA lab, none of which possible without support from @saveourseas @SharkColin @jcu @CSTFA_JCU

I have often argued that scientists should hide Easter eggs in their publications. This one makes me particularly happy.

@NicholasWuNZ @donaldmcknight2 @AusSocHerp @jcu @JCUTropEco @enviro_sci @VertEcoLab Thanks Nicholas, I thought your poster about sloughing behaviour and chytrid infection was interesting and well presented.

[Leah Carr @Bio_dyssey]

@brittanyadriana @Tim_Cutajar @AustmusResearch @unswbees @CES_UNSW Agreed on the amazing front! This was one of my favourite talks.

The theme for the last night of #ASHNZ18 was "jungle." Naturally, a group of us decided to go as #JurassicPark characters. This is why #herpetology conferences are the best.

@rishpillai @AusSocHerp @VertEcoLab @jcu @enviro_sci Cheers mate! And congrats on being my first tweet. Still trying to figure this twitter thing out...

Congrats to @rishpillai for taking out the prize for best masters talk with his "Sticky Fingers" presentation at @AusSocHerp's #ASHNZ18 conference. Rishab presented his #herpetology #research about #ecomorphology and #lamellae of some #Oedura species. @VertEcoLab @jcu @enviro_sci
