The academic insight I gain on this platform is great. But the vast quantities of information I'm absorbing about the current affairs of the world are a bit overwhelming, so I'm taking a break. Will be back ✌️
Just listened to the bullshit from @ScottMorrisonMP on AM. Sounding more like @realDonaldTrump every day. Bluff and bluster will not fix the economy, global warming denialism and shonky statistics are not action on climate change. This guy is an absolute disgrace.
Sad news for this backpacker... However, this shouldn't justify shark culling or the use of shark-nets!
The pressure on these keystone predators is already too great with overfishing. #stopsharkculling#geos335
A British backpacker has had his foot amputated, after he and a friend were viciously mauled by a shark, near Airlie Beach in Queensland. @ShannonMM9#9News
Saddened to hear of the passing of Prime Minister of Tonga 🇹🇴 ‘Akilisi Pohiva. He was a respected leader in the Pacific, and a good friend to Australia. My deepest condolences to his family and the people of the Kingdom of Tonga.
Aussie sharks still at risk from industrial fishing, despite protections: @RobHarcourt @MQBiology was part of a global study of the risks migratory sharks face in the world's oceans https://t.co/J9tDK2c4Nm #ThreatenedSpeciesDay
It’s not all sun, sea, sediments and seaweeds;-) #geos335 back in the lab today for a debrief and to capture important methodology from the fieldtrip while memories are fresh! @EnvScMQ @MqEPS #thisismylab @April__Abbott @kate_c_dodds
A fantastic day yesterday spent sampling in the Pittwater. Looking for invasive species Caulerpa taxifolia.
Time now to crunch some numbers...
Namaste #Geos335
Juvenile Port Jackson sharks are not interested in hanging out with their mates: A new paper from @catarina_vp @FishLab_MQ @MQBiology @MQSciEng https://t.co/ycqBPyi04l
There are more jobs in #Australia from the existence of the Great Barrier Reef (Alice) than jobs in coal mining in Australia- and the entire (eco) tourism market is at risk #BlueEconomy#ecotourism#conservation
Researchers at Sydney's @Macquarie_Uni believe they are getting closer to really understanding the life of one of our ocean predators, and the results are surprising. @DaltsWorld#9News
