Genetics and conservation biology

[Prof Carolyn Hogg @HoggCarolyn]

For anyone interested in using genetics in conservation actions....come join @ThreatenedSpGen workshop at AWMS this year with myself & @persoonia! Hope to see you there

[Bruce Webber @DrBruceWebber]

JOB ALERT. Come and work with the @CSIRO & @BiolSci_UWA as a quantitative field ecologist. A 2 year postdoc based in Perth working across the Kimberley & Pilbara on developing biocontrol for an invasive vine. Please RT!

An outstanding digital journey with ABC to an ephemeral West Australian river in a rare life-giving flood. I love seeing the community reaction! Well worth a look, and you won't even get wet! https://t.co/5bADD0Fz1p

@HoggCarolyn @ThreatenedSpGen @MRossettoEvoEco @BioplatformsAus @KathyBelov So excited!

[Kym Ottewell @persoonia]

Great recognition of the work we are doing with the Threatened Species Initiative, nominated for a Eureka Prize! Woohoo!

[Prof Carolyn Hogg @HoggCarolyn]

Super excited for the @ThreatenedSpGen team! Finalists in the Eureka Prize for Environmental Research. A massive congratulations to all who have been involved & contributed. It is not possible without all of you! @persoonia @MRossettoEvoEco @BioplatformsAus @KathyBelov

[Prof Carolyn Hogg @HoggCarolyn]

Work in conservation management? Check out our new paper on an easy‐to‐use toolkit for integrating genetics into conservation management! @KathyBelov @FarquharsonKate @ellemclennan @PariceBrandies @persoonia @lukesilver20 @ThreatenedSpGen @Sydney_Science https://t.co/P5tSctZhVL

I've got a piece in today's @GuardianAus about the @austmus's extinction cabinets and @Zoe_Sadokierski's Survival Stories project. I'm very grateful to have seen the cabinets - they're a very powerful experience - and for @mpbowers' beautiful photos.

@HoggCarolyn @KathyBelov @Sydney_Science @EBPgenome @Biodivcouncil And couldn't have done it without postdoc Rujiporn Thavornkanlapachai who's not on Twitter, but deserves the biggest mention for wrangling the data and making it all work. Magic!

[Kym Ottewell @persoonia]

@HoggCarolyn @KathyBelov @Sydney_Science @EBPgenome @Biodivcouncil Teamwork makes the dream work! Couldn't have done it without all the amazing sequence data you generated 😊

[Kym Ottewell @persoonia]

Stoked to be a part of this massive collaboration led by superstar @HoggCarolyn ...all you could ever want to know about bilby genetics 😊

[Prof Carolyn Hogg @HoggCarolyn]

Super excited to announce the publication of the Bilby genome today in Nature Ecology & Evolution https://t.co/rcJ0YaTGEI
Massive effort by a great team of scientists, conservation managers & Indigenous Rangers! @Sydney_Science @KathyBelov

@certhionyx Fantastic work Brenton & co!

[Kym Ottewell @persoonia]

Check out the conservation genetic resources on the new Threatened Species Iniative website!

[Prof Carolyn Hogg @HoggCarolyn]

Launching the new @ThreatenedSpGen website with friendly content developed by many Australian collaborators to help conservation managers use genetics & genomics for management actions & decisions! https://t.co/kPDhPFZNvx @BioplatformsAus @AusBiocommons @Sydney_Science

[Kym Ottewell @persoonia]

Was such a good day. Everyone did so well with formulating good conservation strategies from their case studies. Even the most tricky ones!

[Prof Carolyn Hogg @HoggCarolyn]

The inaugural @ThreatenedSpGen workshop on using genetics for conservation management was a hit! A great group of people from all over, really engaged in upskilling their genetic literacy. #ictc23 @ellemclennan @persoonia @BioplatformsAus @Sydney_Science @Science_DBCA

[Kym Ottewell @persoonia]

Re-upping this - we have an open permanent research scientist position in Ecosystem Genomics with @Science_DBCA. Closing date has been extended to 22nd September! Research Scientist (Ecosystem Genomics) (https://t.co/zTSkYvVlvt)

🚨Calling conservation geneticists🚨
DBCA Biodiversity & Conservation Science are hiring! We have a 4-year research scientist position in Conservation Genomics (Fauna Genetics) to join our new Climate Change Adaptation group (poss extension/permanency). DM if interested!

[Kym Ottewell @persoonia]

Bonus, Western Australia is an incredible place to do biodiversity research. So many amazing landscapes you could be working in - think Southwest WA, Pilbara & Kimberley biodiversity hotspots. Come for the biodiversity, stay for the genetics!!
