Evolutionary ecologist, entomologist. Interested in sexual selection, nongenetic inheritance, chemical signalling, trait integration, and life in general!
"NZ’s glaciers have already lost nearly a third of their ice – as more vanishes, landscapes and lives change". Meantime we have climate change policy of "masterly inactivity" - doing nothing or backpedalling while trying to seem concerned & ready to act. https://t.co/XPaPZNRcUR
#pruittgate still floating around like a dirty turd in the oceans of eco evo. I'm proud that researchers did the hard yards to reveal this prolific fraud- especially when there is no incentive and it's such a difficult process to forensically examine years of research.
@DrPeterBentley As an ECR four years out of PhD (also worked industry) I think a large barrier is the lack of postdoctoral funding. ARC grants typically don't give supervisors enough $ for the hire of postdocs (or very short contracts) and the DECRA is practically a lottery! Too much precarity!
Our former member Yong Foo and evolutionary biologist extraordinaire Leigh Simmons are advertising a fully funded #PhD project - a great opportunity! @uwanews@BiolSci_UWA @CEB_UWA

Research prizes are opaque and rife with bias — it’s time to shake them up. Great article and certainly in need for improvement. https://t.co/ywdb9mPFxS
What a load of sh*t, what on earth is amino foam and how would it benefit my teeth?! Marketing gone mad I think unless someone knows of some scientific evidence for its efficacy?
The Darvaza gas crater, also known as the "Gates of Hell", has been burning for 50 years. A natural gas field that collapsed into a cavern, it is located near Darvaza, Turkmenistan.
