PhD candidate studying mutation rates and demographic histories in Koalas (and all marsupials). Honours studying cave cockroaches! Member of AWGG and MEEP @USYD
🚨!Out now in Systematic Biology!🚨
Read how we hurt molecular clocks 🪦with the ridiculous substitution rate acceleration found in the mitochondrial genomes of these cool looking cave cockroaches.
They indeed leave the rest of cockroaches in the dust!

greatly benefited from ziheng yang's books "Computational mol evol" & "mol evol a stat approach" for 15 yrs, finally a tentative solution manual https://t.co/Kn3tIDHILI step-by-step derivation, software operation, code, new insight in classic Qs. work collab'd w Jianhao 1/4

Excited to publish our population genetic analysis of three subterranean cockroach species (#Nocticolidae)! The Pilbara subterranean habitat appears to be conducive to gene flow for these tiny roaches, contrasting high endemism in other taxa.

We still have capacity in our conservation genomics course (ID: 9) at #ICCB#ICCB2023
If you're from a lower income country and like to attend, but conference registration is prohibitive, please reach out! We may have some small funds! (but not enough to cover travel/lodging)
We are pleased to announce the 14th annual Sydney Phylogenetics Workshop!
The workshop will be held @Sydney_Uni on 27-28 July.
It will provide an introduction to phylogenetic analysis and is suitable for early career researchers (students and postdocs).
EOIs to our free govt-funded Science Comedy Program are closing soon. Only takes 1 minute to fill out: https://t.co/hsKjFXKLU7
This is for a wide range of professionals! STEM, social sciences, govt, industry, & more...
Talks include #Scienceweek & @sydneyfringe#scicomm
Reparations for global climate justice?
In this new paper we quantify the compensation that over-emitting countries may owe to the rest of the world for the appropriation of atmospheric commons. Out today in Nature Sustainability, with the brilliant @AndrewLFanning. 🧵
New work from @mikeletnic, Mathew Crowther, Heidi Parker, Elaine Ostrander and I in @molecology finds most DNA tested wild dingoes were pure. Prior DNA studies frequently misidentified pure dingoes as hybrids. https://t.co/FTrKsyRg8H @unswbees@CES_UNSW@EERC_UNSW 1/n
It was so much fun learning how to incorporate comedy into my science talks. As someone who has historically found public speaking challenging I can’t believe I actually enjoyed this! Thank you so much @ScienceTalksSyd
Native-cockroach guru @tobykovacs had the audience in stitches at the @Syd_Comedy_Fest 🪳
Interested in giving this a go? Our EOIs have just opened! Speakers will be selected for #scienceweek & @sydneyfringe

We have a new paper, out today in @NatureEcoEvo , where we evaluated effects of inbreeding on individual fitness and population growth of the Southern Resident killer whales. https://t.co/ThMF3OymRa
