A fantastic effort from everybody involved with this paper, and incredibly fascinating to investigate multiple stressors simultaneously 💊☀️

Chemical pollution in a multistressor world. Congrats to @JackTOrford on his PhD paper (co-supervised with @lesley_alton & @Martin_J_M_34) looking at impacts of UV & an agricultural pollutant on morphology & behaviour of tadpoles. #BobWongLab @MonashBiol

@BBM_Wong @HungTan_ Gutted to have missed the big day, what a great photo! Huge congratulations Dr @HungTan_ ! 🥳🧑‍🔬

[Bob Wong (@bbmwong.bsky.social) @BBM_Wong]

Just made it back to Melbourne in time to attend the latest graduation ceremony. Congrats to @HungTan_ and @JackTOrford who both graduated with their PhDs today (the latter, in absentia). 🥳

[Jack Orford @JackTOrford]

Very happy to be officially conferred as Dr. Orford today! A massive thanks to my supervisors @BBM_Wong @lesley_alton @Martin_J_M_34, as well as the rest of the Wong lab, for all their support. Time to celebrate 🍻🐸🧪

@BBM_Wong @lesley_alton @Martin_J_M_34 @MonashBiol Thanks Bob! Couldn't have done it without the endless support and patience from yourself, @Martin_J_M_34, and @lesley_alton! 🐸👨‍🔬🥳

[Bob Wong (@bbmwong.bsky.social) @BBM_Wong]

Congrats to @JackTOrford (cosupervised with @lesley_alton and @Martin_J_M_34), the latest member of the @MonashBiol #BobWongLab to be awarded their PhD. Jack investigated multi-stressor effects of chemical pollution and UV on anuran amphibians. Super proud of you Dr Orford 🥳👏

Bigger & bolder: impacts of a widespread agricultural pollutant on morphology and behaviour of tadpoles in the southern brown treefrog. Latest paper from @MonashBiol PhD student @JackTOrford with @HungTan_ @r_tingley @lesley @Martin_J_M_34

Our new @NatureComms paper on how invasion altered behavioural types across the delicate skink’s global range is out today! It was great to co-lead this with @chapple_lab and @annieNaimo. Big thanks to @mrmic1 @Martin_J_M_34 @cc_goulet @bellbirdsong_NZ Andy Sih & @BBM_Wong!

[Jack Brand @JackAndrewBrand]

New paper from my PhD out in Oecologia! We find that the social context mediates the expression of animal personality traits in the delicate skink. Big thanks to @annieNaimo @mrmic1 @Martin_J_M_34 Andrew Sih @BBM_Wong & @chapple_lab. Check it out here 👉 https://t.co/kGGCDtvdcL

New research on the effect a potent environmental pollutant has on tadpoles. Great work @Martin_J_M_34, @JackTOrford and team! Interesting to see no effects on behaviour and growth.. read more below⬇️

[Jack Orford @JackTOrford]

Very excited that my first PhD chapter (and first first-author paper) has been published in #aquatictoxicology 👨‍🔬 We investigated the impacts of a common agricultural pollutant on an Australian tadpole species 🐸🐮

Exposure to an androgenic environmental pollutant does not affect behaviour of tadpoles. Yet we have seen strong impacts in fish…surprising! Take a read to find out more. https://t.co/9e9hmBtb2L

[Bob Wong (@bbmwong.bsky.social) @BBM_Wong]

Unlike fish, growth and behaviour of tadpoles were unaffected by environmental concentrations of a widespread androgenic endocrine disrupting pollutant. New PhD paper by @JackTOrford (cosupervised with @lesley_alton & @Martin_J_M_34). #BobWongLab

Awesome paper! Congratulations @Hawkes_Will on an incredible achievement 🐝🦋

[Dr Will Leo Hawkes @WillLeoHawkes]

My 1st, 1st author paper is out now in @EcographyJourna !
Huge numbers of insects migrate from the Middle East to Europe - & most are flies with hugely important ecological roles to play!

Our new review is now out in the latest issue of @Trends_Ecol_Evo! 🥳

We present a conceptual framework for predicting how chemical pollution is likely to impact the emergence, organisation, and function of animal social groups.

Had a great time at #isbe2022 presenting some of my PhD research. It was fantastic to attend an in-person conference and catch up with some old friends, as well as meeting lots of new people and hearing about some incredible research! #BobWongLab #science

PhD student @JackTOrford (cosupervised with @lesley_alton and @Martin_J_M_34) discussing his work studying impacts of agricultural pollution (livestock hormonal growth promotants) on tadpole behaviour. #ISBE2022 #BobWongLab

[Bob Wong (@bbmwong.bsky.social) @BBM_Wong]

Today the lab and @MonashBiol is saying farewell to the incomparable Martin_J_M_34. Next week, Jake will be jetting off to start an exciting new position with the wonderful @DrBrodin in 🇸🇪. Thanks Jake for being a great colleague and for your awesomeness 🎉🏆🥰🦸‍♂️���🐸

[Lucinda Aulsebrook @LCAulsebrook]

Excited to share my first research publication from my PhD! We found that environmental levels of antidepressant pollution altered life history traits in Daphnia, but higher temperatures reduced these effects. Read it here: https://t.co/WutqsVoqcP @MonashUni

2/2. Study was carried out in collaboration with @JackTOrford, @gabriela_melogc, @HungTan_ , @racheltmason, @MichaelGBertram, Shiho Ozeki & @lesley_alton, and is the first to be published from our ARC-funded project on endocrine disrupting pollution & 🐸s. @MonashBiol #BobWongLab
