Hi all!
Little update! For those that have seen my fishy drawings and thought "I'd really like that on some merch.." I have some good news for you!
I have opened a Printify on demand printing pop up for my fishy drawings!

Had a great time last night celebrating 50 years of One Tree Island Research Station! Thankyou for being a home away from home during my PhD!

Multi-level framework to assess social variation in response to ecological and social factors: modeled with coral gobies

Big thanks to all those who helped! Naming co-authors and the amazing staff in the Australian Museum Itchyology department!

[Courtney Hildebrandt (she/they) @gobynerd]

Exciting ichthyology news! The first chapter of my PhD thesis is now published! Giving a name to two adorable species of Gobiodon! You can find it open access on Raffles Bulletin of Zoology!

Hi all, I have started a Blue Sky account in addition to this one, as it seems some people are migrating that way!

Lately I've been spending a lot of hours in front of a computer writing up my theses. But getting to go through photos of these little guys certainly cheers me up!

2024 Great Barrier Reef bleaching summary now available: https://t.co/dozHwAGO8i

- Fifth mass bleaching event on the Great Barrier Reef since 2016
-Very high (60-90% cover bleached) and extreme (>90%) prevalence of coral bleaching in all three regions of the Great Barrier Reef

Tax?
Out of 2020-2021 revenue of $150 billion in Australia, 24 Fossil Fuel companies paid
not $30 billion,
not $30 million,
not $30 thousand,
just $30.
Enough for 6-7 cups of coffee, evenly distributed across the 25 million Australians.

[Amanda Hay @Diploprion]

Easy to assume we know about the fishes of Australia and the @GreatBarrierRf but this beautiful fish highlights we still have undescribed marine biodiversity.
One new fish species is described as new or newly recorded each week for Australia, the count of 5200 still climbing!

Very excited to share the first published paper from my PhD!! We explored the role that biofilms play in rates of topicalisation. Thank you to @willfig @ZiggyMarzinelli & @brig_sommer for being fantastic co-authors on my first paper as lead. @USydMSI

What a jam-packed day of marine science! 🌊 Our @austmus fish team and marine invertebrates team pulled out all the stops. Students & the general public came by to see our live specimens, the famous Mr Blobby, pufferfish, upside-down jellyfish and much more 🐟🪼🪸
