A different kind of #hack event
#DataScience & #wildfire

Urgency of wildfire study in Aus is increasing. Vols of data available to us. We need new approaches, new connections, new tools. We need you!

Join us – MCDS & Flare Wildfire Research – Nov 8 -10

Please share!

I'm recruiting Masters, Hons, and PhD students to model spread and mgmt for spreading species (invasive & range-shifting spp). See https://t.co/wzrAWxK8VP for project ideas & https://t.co/faT3p60KNp for scholarships (incl. international!)

hi! I'm joining @UniMelb School of Agriculture, Food and Ecosystem Sciences on the @qaecology team as a tenure-track lecturer Sept 1!

I am so so so grateful for everyone who helped me and believed in me along the way. Please someone take my wrong-voltage small appliances!!!!

Today I started a new job, Prof in Conservation Biology at the University of Melbourne @SciMelb . Exciting times! Thank you @DeakinSEBE esp @DeakinCIE, and many wonderful colleagues there for for 8 great years

[QAECO @qaecology]

We currently have an exciting #PhD project available focused on dealing with missing data and uncertainty in mechanistic niche models of species distributions.

The student would be based in QAECO (https://t.co/lWGqfzn4lC), a dynamic, friendly, and diverse group at @UniMelb

One-third of local councils have rules to stop pet cats roaming because of their major impacts on wildlife.

More councils want to get on board but many are hampered by state laws.

Yes I graduated after many years balancing research and parenting babies/young children. Could not have done it without the support of family and these legends, my supervisors @YungEnChee1 and @BrenWintle @qaecology. I was extremely lucky

[Emily McColl-Gausden @EcoEmcg]

Had a beautiful day celebrating both of our achievements 🎉 shout out to @qaecology @r_tingley and @andrewrweeks for an amazing PhD journey and @sarahmccg @Erica_Marshall1 @KateLSenior for your friendship and support! @SciMelb @BioSci_UniMelb

[Biodiversity Council @Biodivcouncil]

🧵1/5 Our team welcomes the Australian Government's response to Graeme Samuel's scathing 2020 review of our Federal environmental laws. But the key to the success of the reforms announced will be in the detail. We’re keen to get the conversation going.

Yesterday I got my feet wet for an excellent reason. After years of careful design, planning and collaboration, our floating wetlands finally exist! Can't wait to see the wildlife that take advantage. Partners: @cityofmelbourne + Wetland Ecological Treatment Systems + @SciMelb

[Biodiversity Council @Biodivcouncil]

Protecting our biodiversity is up to all of us.
We’re working with experts, communities, Traditional Owners, farmers, government and industries to solve Australia’s biodiversity crisis. And that includes you.
