I’m collaborating on a project to identify all the organisations and professional societies in the world that are incorporating #genetics in species management and #conservation. What are groups you know about (global, regional, and local)? #ConservationGenetics
Eyyy. On Monday I’m gonna do a big run and donate some money to @DeadlyScience to support science education in Oz.
If you don’t wanna run, but still want to support, consider donating too!
Heya Friends.
At the end of October I’m gonna run 30km around the lake here in Canberra. For each km I’ll donate💰to @DeadlyScience, and I’d love if you’d join by donating to a cause that’s special to you.

I’ll answer some basic Qs below.

Hey @Mets & @nyknicks, can I ask a favor?
But before I ask, I have to introduce you to my Aunt Maureen. Maureen is a mom to 4 amazing daughters, grandmother to many more, a wife, sister, and HUGE @mets and @nyknicks fan who is unfortunately sick with advanced pancreatic cancer.
Retweeting my giant noggin in the name of science.
Come hear me rant about why reptiles are the best vertebrates & Australia is the best place to study evolution. Wednesday AEDT 1-2pm.
Fam back in USA that's 8-9pm EST (I think). Tune in while you scarf hotpockets before bed.
ECR feature: Jéssica Fenker, @jehzim, is a herpetologist with a particular interest in adaptive radiations. Jéssica shares her recent work, a multidisciplinary study, on characterising the biodiversity of lizards in the Cerrado, South America.

A provisional list of animals requiring urgent management intervention following the 2019/2020 Aus bushfire season has been released: https://t.co/jIarBMIbwm
Here's an explainer on how Australian forests respond to fire and why Australia’s severe bushfires may be bad news for tree regeneration https://t.co/2dstX8vcI2
Wow! Two papers on the same day 😱
Check out my PhD paper below on Cerrado's biogeography and conservation
and the description of four new geckos (Gehyra australis group) from the Monsoonal Tropics of Australia https://t.co/Egeh8v3ZWO
One of my PhD chapters just came out on Journal of Biogeography!! 🦎
Linking functional, spatial and new phylogeographic data for lizards in Cerrado we mapped spatial patterns of species and phylogenetic diversity and identified areas of unique diversity

Check out Victoria’s impressively rapid science-based response to ‘Victoria’s bushfire emergency:Biodiversity response and recovery’ @unimelb @TSR_Hub @TSCommissioner @HugePossum- congrats Dewlp biodiversity team and collabs https://t.co/A0qirT60f4
Spent the last two days helping @bridgeridoo with post-fire fauna surveys. The extent of the fires is unbelievable, but there's plenty of evidence of recovery already. Opened seed pods and epicormic resprouting
The @EcolSocAus Ecosystem Recovery Fund will provide funding & resources for ongoing, long-term, ecological restoration & recovery to support the re-establishment of our unique Australian ecosystems after the #bushfirecrisis

#AustralianFires have wreaked havoc on our distinct wildlife & plants. But after the blazes, burnt out logs & dead trees offer hope. #ANUExpert David Lindenmayer explains the importance of leaving fire-damaged trees for the environment to rebuild.
