I am a plant biologist with a passion for understanding the unique and novel strategies with which plants are able to survive in harsh environments.

We are still celebrating the #EurekaPrizes won by the @BushfireHub, but consider this: of the 22 University scientists working on that project, 82% have insecure positions, and most are looking for work (average 15 months contract left). The gig economy reaches everywhere.

Job opportunity (for folks in Australia). 3 year postdoc position at our new node of the ARC Centre for Plant Success in Nature & Agriculture at Hawkesbury Institute for the Environment. Research adaptations to heat and water stress in Australian species! https://t.co/Si8izA0Ii1

Here is a view from the top of a young dune on the Jurien Bay Chronosequence, looking towards the ocean you can see some of the youngest mobile dunes, where ecosystem development first begins! See: https://t.co/LLtvIgrNhe for some of our earlier work on this amazing system! #uwa

A beautiful example of Kingia australis growing on our property east of Margaret River. At 1.5cm/yr they are certainly older than me! Applying to place the area under a conservation covenant to protect them and many others @ecophysplants @Science_DBCA @DPIRDWA @kingsleydixon1

Amazing what you can find in your own garden, even some mouldy old leaves are spectacular under the SEM!!

June Image Contest Winner is "Fungal Invasion"! Congratulations to Peta Clode for collecting this image & Jeremy Shaw for colorizing it in Photoshop. This was done on the JEOL IT800 FESEM fitted with a Leica VCT500 cryosystem. The sample is mildew on a zucchini leaf!

Academic writing is wild bc you’ll read four articles just to write one sentence.

Anyway, here’s a thread of resources I’ve been using to speed through this review I’m working on:

[Crikey @crikey_news]

Today we publish a dossier of 27 lies and falsehoods that forensically exposes the Australian prime minister @ScottMorrisonMP as a systemic, consistent, and unremitting public liar. Read the dossier in full, here: #ScoMosDossier #auspol

We just broke the record for biggest e-petition in the history of our national parliament. They hoped the people wouldn’t be interested. You proved them wrong. 

We have 5 days left. Let’s push hard towards the half-million mark. #MurdochRoyalCommission https://t.co/FjfK7ij7YQ

[Patrick Hayes @plants_patty]

Exciting new study from UWA showing the importance of cell-level nutrient allocation! More and more studies are revealing just how varied cell-level nutrient allocation patterns are in plants, and how important this is for plant physiology.

Big news overnight: the petition for a #MurdochRoyalCommission reached more than 350,000 signatures. Thank you to everyone who's signed & shared the link.

We now have just 14 DAYS left to make sure as many Australians as possible have their voices heard: https://t.co/FjfK7ij7YQ

[Kevin Rudd @MrKRudd]

Australians have watched with growing anger at what the Murdoch media monopoly is doing to our country. A cancer on democracy.

Today I am launching a national petition to establish a #MurdochRoyalCommission.

If you value our democracy, please sign here: https://t.co/FjfK7ij7YQ

Findings from a huge international project led by @ManuDelBaq have this week been published in Nature Communications, revealing the major drivers of ecosystem structure and function, at the global scale.
