@maxmallencooper Omg, I've just opened Twitter to this brilliant thread! Thank you for for being that fresh academic sparkle ✨for the best part of the last decade! I'm going to miss you Max!

@Megan_McNellie @joelsartore Hah! I wish that were a thing! I had been given a plain white cotton onsie I was dreaming of adding animal patterns to though with inktense pencils. Standing gecko pattern would be fun 🤔

@DJ_Eldridge @AnikaMolesworth @AusRangeSoc @DrylandsASU @Mel_Abdallah What a great video! Exciting work you're setting up here too!

@CyanoAngie She arrived two days after my reply. Newborn life is a wild ride 🥴 thanks so much for offer of support 🥰 I'm also lucky to have access to flexible hours until she's of school age ❤️

@NaturesTextures and I welcome Allira Kwok-Travers to the world. #ifonlybirthwasthiseasy

@CyanoAngie Not yet, but bub is still a couple of weeks away.. But I do worry about these feelings returning to work at the end of my time off. Day-to-day work seems to require high brain power, no time to be concerned with anything else.

@b_medlyn @DJ_Eldridge Yesss! That would be fabulous! Anyone else care to join the feildwork with fabulous hair? I see @desert_ecology lurking and know she rocks this hair in the field. Likewise @whydee13?

@b_medlyn @DJ_Eldridge Hi @b_medlyn! That would be me 😊I enjoyed your seminar at UNSW in the summer of 2019/2020 😉 I am a huge fan of your work, would love to meet you!

@rsl1957 @EcolSocAus @NSWDPIE_Water It's just too beautiful, isn't it?! .. I checked it many times!

[Samantha Travers @GeoS4m]

@DonADriscoll @EcolSocAus @NSWDPIE_Water Thanks Don.. So many unknowns! Just goes to show how tricky it can be to identify vegetation communities!

[Samantha Travers @GeoS4m]

@MeganVGood Did you happen to grab his phone number? 🤣

[Samantha Travers @GeoS4m]

@DanaMBergstrom Thanks Dana.. Seems like we have to ask many more people than just a couple of experts, even if a community has a fairly high chance of occurring at a site!

[Ecological Society of Australia @EcolSocAus]

"How many experts are needed to identify an ecological community?" asks @GeoS4m from @NSWDPIE_Water. To reduce uncertainty to 5%, we need at least 30 experts! Some lovely 'textbook' binomial plots in this talk. #ESAus21

[Megan Good @MeganVGood]

@GeoS4m explains how to extract info from experts brains and how many brains to tap into (in case you don't have David Keith on speed dial) and why we should ensure we do it well! #ESAus21

[Samantha Travers @GeoS4m]

@EcolSocAus @NSWDPIE_Water Thank you! Had to plot that data several times to make sure it was right! It certainly is
