Excited to have arrived in #Melbourne to join @DeakinCIE on a 2-year post-doc. I’ll be researching #drones as a monitoring tool for #koalas, #kangaroos, and #waterbirds 🐨🦘🦆🚁

Keen for this next chapter at @Deakin. @DonADriscoll @EuanRitchie1 @DELWP_Vic

Who would’ve thought the first organisation to charge someone over the Gaza conflict would’ve been the ICC (International Cricket Council) and not the ICC (International Criminal Court)

Who would have thought that delivering the Coalition’s big policies and having none of your own would lead to this

JUST IN: Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek has granted Bruce Lehrmann a licence for a coal mine he accidentally discovered while digging his own grave

[RisingTideAustralia @RisingTideAus]

How to arrest a 97yo climate protector at the #PeoplesBlockade? Very carefully and to a heroes welcome! If charged, Reverend Alan Stuart will be the oldest person ever charged in Australia 😲

So if you liked the photo of @tanya_plibersek with the koala, you're going to love hearing about Whitehaven's Narrabri coal expansion which she may be poised to approve... #KoalasNotCoal

Recommend you build a really BIG wildlife hospital, @tanya_plibersek, because no amount of koala photo opps. will save Brandy and native wildlife while you continue to allow their homes to be destroyed and you and @AustralianLabor support the expansion of fossil fuel production.

Saying the quiet part out loud...🙃

When the opposition wouldn't cooperate with the government attempting to ram through their favour for Santos - the Sea Dumping Bill - this happened:

"You said no to Santos."
"You said no to Woodside. "
"You said no Inpex."

"Sites with horses were losing carbon to the atmosphere, whereas sites without horses were removing carbon from the atmosphere."

Important new research from @RMIT finds a link between damage caused by feral horses & increased peatland carbon emissions in the Australian Alps.

The NO talks about how this referendum is about Division but no one in their camp have any runs on the board for trying to Unify the country. None of them have any history of bringing us together. VOTE YES.

Swift Parrot bird of the Year!
The most dramatic voter for the Swifties is in jail. That’s Colette Harmsen, who put her body in front of the machines destroying Swift parrot nesting trees in Tasmania. PM @AlboMP who authorises those machines, can’t have voted for them. Bob Brown

[Prof. Euan Ritchie (@euanritchie.bsky.social) @EuanRitchie1]

Will @tanya_plibersek do what’s required to save Australia’s 2023 bird of the year (swift 🦜) from extinction?

Arguments from the ‘No’ side are almost identical to these. Puts into perspective how crazy some are

Hi all! Thought I would put an EOI out here, I'm nearing the end of my PhD and looking for future work in the Conservation Social Science/Communication space, interested in post docs, teaching and industry. #ConSocSci #AcademicTwitter #conservation #phdchat

[Bob Brown Foundation @BobBrownFndn]

Minister @tanya_plibersek refuses to act on direct cause of extinctions in the wild which is destruction of habitat. The answer for Swift Parrot and Maugean Skate is simple – protect their ancient habitats & remove the invaders from those habitats. #politas #auspol

This paper I co-authored just reached 2,500 citations. My learnings:
- Timing is probably 90% of this article's success. That's really hard to replicate.
- Titles matter
- Anybody can write a conceptual paper (we were very early career)
- So much is random

Another day, another coal mine approved by Labor.

We must keep pushing the government to do more to address climate change.

Our economy, our health, and our future depends on it.
