Allowing duck hunting to continue in Victoria is shameful and part of a disturbing trend by. Great analysis by @JackHPascoe @Biodivcouncil of why we must demand better care of nature by @VicGovAu

Very proud to have this project published. Thanks to everyone who helped me take platypus eDNA samples before and after the black summer megafires. Please check it and the @ConversationEDU article out! https://t.co/xTzcpfSagj @r_tingley@andrewrweeks@lukewarm1981@enviro_DNA
Introducing our 1st plenary speaker for #VicBioCon24 Dr Kylie Soanes! @kyliesoanes is a Research Fellow in Urban Biodiversity with the School of Agriculture, Food & Ecosystem Sciences @UniMelb🌳We’re so excited to hear her speak about creative solutions for urban biodiversity!🐾
I'm really excited to have the opportunity to share my research on Thursday alongside some other great projects at the 2023 @RoyalSocietyVic Young Scientist Research Prize. Come along!
Being ‘Nature positive’ isn’t just planting a few trees –it’s actually stopping the damage we do.
Here are 3 ways to make sure nature positive is truly positive for nature, and not greenwashing. Research by @martine_maron @megcevans @sophusticated

Latest video, in which I talk about how conservation science PLUS action saves species from extinction, and insult some threatened species while I’m at it #ThreatenedSpeciesDay#wildoz
@jscamac Already do it. 😀 I compare to systems in the same postcode to check that our PV system is operating properly. And I download data from https://t.co/E5pc9z12sH, which gives 1/2 hourly consumption production data.
We are about 1 year into electrifying our home. Here's what we have done and the relative operating costs compared to using oil and gas...
The TLDR is that electrification is way cheaper... 1/
@Farmer_Dave999 We are planning on induction. One problem is we have a freestanding stove (gas) integrated with the oven (electric). But we can't find an induction equivalent of the same width to fit the spot (80 cm). So we'll need some carpentry too...
@Farmer_Dave999 We have a portable 10 amp charger (slow: 2.4 kW) so once we get to Bendigo we can recharge fully overnight (we typically stay for the weekend). There are fast chargers on the Calder Highway (up to 50 kW) and we have used one of those once while having dinner in Kyneton.
I estimate we are getting >10% return on investment from electrifying our home. This are effectively tax-free savings. A clear step forward would be for governments to help fund more electrification of households that can't afford the upfront costs. 6/6
We installed a 6.6 kW rooftop PV system. In summer, our electricity costs are negative (our feed in tariff of 5 c/kWh pays for the grid consumption). Our solar production in winter is less than our consumption. I don't think we'll install a battery just yet. 5/
