Proud supervisor moment watching masters student Emily present her pre-completion seminar ☺️

Calling all evolutionary biologists! 🧬 AES 2025 | UQ Brisbane | 1–3 Oct Early-bird registrations close 1 Sept Join three days of cutting-edge science + community: aes.corsizio.com/event/68540590… #AES2025 #Evolution #ECR #AusSci

My first time sharing some of my findings from my @jcu postdoc, looking at how temperature impacts spinal development in eastern mosquitofish #IPFC2025 #gambusia #fishbiology

So excited to be in Taipei for the 12th Indo-Pacific Fish Conference! #IPFC2025

A big congratulations to Dr Gabriela Melo (co-supervised with A/Prof Matt Hall and Dr Jake Martin) on her graduation day 🥳 @MonashBiol #BobWongLab

As a part of our phenotype analysis I present to you… fish racing 🏁 #fishexperiments #gambusia #swimmingspeed #fishrace

Reviewing footage from our boldness testing arenas… looks like fish can also get the zoomies! #gambusia #fishbehaviour #zoomies

New frog alert! 🐸

I’ve set up a second aquarium with some corys and danios, in addition to my guppy aquarium. Might be starting to get a little fish obsessed 😅 #homeaquarium #corydoras #corycatfish #zebrafish #daniorerio

Time for your annual reminder that it’s Tasmanian devil dispersal season! This means young devils out finding their way in the world are particularly vulnerable, & often drawn towards roads for easy passage & food. So watch your speed on Tassie roads this season (& always!)

A variety of species across the animal kingdom can reproduce both sexually and asexually, including some types of starfish, water fleas, hammerhead sharks and Komodo dragons. @jcu theconversation.com/facultative-se…

I wrote an article for @ConversationEDU about facultative sex, after I found out that many people outside of biology have never heard of the concept. I think it's such a neat ability that everyone should know about! Read it here: theconversation.com/facultative-se…

Summertime on campus and the ponds near the #EddieKoikiMaboLibrary are doing their thing. #jcu #jcutownsville #nymphaea

My AES flash talk (top left) is done! Great presentations all round ☺️

Still adjusting to the heat and humidity of North Queensland but a recent highlight was getting to see fireflies for the first time. Got a shot of one on my hand - such amazing creatures! #WildOz #firefly #bioluminescence

Which fish will win?! #Gambusia #mosquitofish #swimmingspeed

Such an inspiration 😊

Great pre-completion seminar by masters student Kate Chu. It was exciting to be involved in this project and now see the cool results!

Pom pom crab believes in you ヽ(*・ω・)ﾉ⁠ ⁠ Although the cheerleader crab (Lybia tessellata) looks like they're cheering someone on, they actually protect themselves by attaching sea anemones to both hands 🦀 ⁠ #pompomcrab #cheerleadercrab #boxercrab #goodluck #ocean
