@AusAntarctic expeditioners on macquarie island loving the boxing day test today. please give us a shout out on the national coverage!! @CricketAus@patcummins30
Here are the big takeaways from the @IPCC_CH Synthesis Report released today.
First, climate change has already caused widespread and substantial losses to almost every aspect of human life on this planet, and the impacts on future generations depend on the choices we make NOW.
And now I am in south-east Madagascar! @_KatStuart and I are helping conduct bird surveys in Mahabo forest, sharing what know of R Studio and statistics, and doing what we can to help conservation in the region. Great to learn about the biodiversity in this amazing place.
A belated thank you and farewell to the guineafowl and the guineafowl team for having me at @MpalaResearch for the last few months. Loved every second - made new friends and learnt so much!
I've always wanted to be a published author, except when I was younger I thought I'd be publishing books about dragons. Now I've realised that dream but publishing about science instead! My first paper on Australian fur seals is now available online.

How do groups of social animals decide when and where to move? Iβm in Kenya helping @DamienFarine find out! Vulturine Guineafowl at @MpalaResearch are colour banded and GPS tracked, providing high res data on social networks and group movement. How stunning are the birds!
I've been tagging abalone to explore movement of captive individuals. Tags are attached to the edge of the shell and over time the shell grows around it. I was lucky enough to meet an abalone in the field that had been tagged previously. Cool seeing where tags sit after a while!
My @IMASUTAS Honours fieldwork has finally begun! Using Abalone Recruitment Modules (ARMs) in an attempt to quantify juvenile abalone abundance in southern Tasmania. There are two abalone in this photo - can you spot the baby?
Vote for the mighty, feisty & impressive little penguin!
π§π§π§π§π§π§π§π§π§π§ little penguins face many threats on land & at sea due to their interactions with us.
Letβs raise some awareness & vote for the little π§π§π§π
