When @ouranu scientists observed snow gums dying in huge numbers, they immediately suspected a beetle might be the culprit 🪲
The next step seemed easy: catch some beetles.
But, when you're tackling an entirely new problem, nothing is easy.

@tabithacarvan I don't really do twitter anymore - but came here specifically to say how much I appreciated it (and now see I'm adding to a chorus of others saying how great it is, too 🙂). Brilliantly captured and very moving.

The reaction to this story has floored me 😭

Received this most beautiful gift, which I have just read through, laughing, crying, and remembering the emotion poured into my own PhD acknowledgements. A marvellous reminder that science, at its most fundamental, is a deeply human endeavour. science.anu.edu.au/news-events/ne…

@scienceANU @tabithacarvan @ourANU @ANUAlumni @ANULibrary @ANUFennerSchool @anuearthscience @PhysicsANU @ANUChemistry @ANU_CPAS @StromloANU @BiologyANU Thank you for this glorious revisit to all the feels @tabithacarvan Lovely story telling @ANU_CPAS Prompted a sharing of Acknowledgement pages amongst my doctoral colleagues and friends which was just terrific! My first & fave part to read when examining theses now. Here’s mine:

Not many people will read your PhD thesis, but if you completed your doctoral research at the ANU College of Science, then Tabitha Carvan has probably read one small part of it – the acknowledgements.
What she found is a kind of poetry in the science.

This is a fantastic reflection on the PhD "journey" by @tabithacarvan. I think it's so easy to forget the very real pains, joys and costs of science once we're caught in the endless, triennial postdoc and grants rigmarole. It was good to be reminded 👇

I love this from @scienceANU SO MUCH. My home is infinitely more homey thanks to the mountain Brushtail , microbats and Antechinus in our roof, our spiders, the lizards in the garden, birds in the bird baths… science.anu.edu.au/news-events/ne…

A few years ago, author and journalist Tabitha Carvan became obsessed with British actor Benedict Cumberbatch. It taught her the importance of female joy. ab.co/3ICDBog (via ABC Radio National)

@TanV013 I’d recommend “This is not a book about Benedict Cumberbatch” by Tabitha Carvan to all members. 😁 She writes about becoming a stan and falling deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole, and tries to figure out why this happens. Love it!

I hope we're having fun. I've enjoyed seeing the debate over ice-cream and swearing 😆😄

Tabitha, Tabitha @tabithacarvan, how I'm enjoying "This is not a book about Benedict Cumberbatch".
It was sitting on my bookshelf well before your appearance on @Chat10Looks3 but that reminded me. Even then I waited too long. What an inspiring & fun treat.
