@EuanRitchie1 I’m keen to - have struggled to find funding - but keen to talk

Is anyone examining/investigating the relationships between big polluters/environmental destroyers, ‘nature-based solutions’ and funding of climate and environmental researchers?

Wouldn’t it be brilliant if our posts for #worldwildlifeday were all about #pangolin populations bouncing back from where they currently sit as a direct result of the wholly unsustainable and utterly devastating #illegalwildlifetrade? But in the meantime…lnkd.in/gHNjdzu2

@teamswiftparrot oh my god - such a drama queen (Im referring to the plant, btw)

Yaaaaaaay

Yes - do. And while you are there, do more than just sign up for bar news - become a member of the national coordinating body for wildlife health here in Australia! lnkd.in/gXGsPnUA

We just found out that the people of NSW have spent another $9 million over the past year subsiding the native forest logging industry in NSW. Scenes in the video below are unfolding everyday across the state, destroying critical wildlife habitat. It's a disgrace. #nswpol

@sherbertvet Jaz Hufschmid has always said 75% ethanol and then ambient. higher concentration of alcohol can damage mouthparts and make ID harder

Help? I am pondering the best way to store reptile mites so that they remain suitably preserved for both molecular analysis and morphological identification. Straight into 80% ethanol in the field then mount with a month? Fridge, freezer, then mount? #acarology #mite

@teamswiftparrot Yep - thought that was some incredibly early feathered chicks!

@LeanneWicker Not yet 🙂

Possibly one of the best articles I’ve read about adult diagnosis of ADHD…and Ive read more than a few since my own diagnosis 2-and-a-bit years ago #adhdwomen #Neurodiversity

@drmparrott @ZoosVictoria Funding to support long term monitoring and projects with sustainability, rather than small grants with short time frames which require a disproportionate amount of admin and far less opportunity to have real and significant impact for our species.

It's #NationalThreatenedSpeciesDay -a day to highlight our amazing Threatened Species, their threats, actions for recovery & how we can help. Also funding -let's highlight the need for greater focus & funding ❤️ We can save them when we work together 🐭🦋🦎🐸🐦🐠🦐 @ZoosVictoria

@drbethcookson @ZoosVictoria @dfat @ABC @AustVetAssoc @healthywildlife @DAFFgov I was really impressed by how the team pulled the story together. It’s a fascinating series - congratulations should for to @dfat on a second series!

Congratulations to @ZoosVictoria veterinarian Dr @LeanneWicker who was recently featured on @dfat's Pandemic Warriors series that aired on the @ABC. Learn more via the @AustVetAssoc: ava.com.au/news/dr-leanne… @healthywildlife @DAFFgov

@ali_bat @DiseaseEcolAust @BatOneHealth @EFRIGriffith @GU_Sciences @HomewardBound16 Great news Ali!

Brilliant to know that next time - because there will be a next time - we will have plenty of healing spaces for the wildlife who are impacted by climate change and environmental disasters. #wildlifewelfare matters lnkd.in/gRy55N8M

I love being able to share the work of Save Vietnam's Wildlife (SVW) with a broader audience. This piece was from an Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) series called “Pandemic Warriors”, and it was a great opportunity to show how incredible #pangol…lnkd.in/gS-YztzT

@MissPatVanLady @w0rldspawn @ADHDdesigner I’m curious to know if you have ADHD/have tried medication? For me it’s been life, sanity and career saving. The opportunity to understand what a ‘slow’ (aka, resembling ‘normal) brain feels like, and executive function, after a lifetime of dysfunction - why wouldn’t you?

Having untreated ADHD for 30 years has made my ADHD much harder to treat than it would have been originally. Non-treatment of ADHD causes a ton of negative consequences and comorbidities.

@BabyAlpaca4 @ADHDdesigner @skolvikings And a lifetime of developing toxic coping strategies and layering masks over your true self in attempts to succeed in a NT world, and fit in with peers

@ADHDdesigner @skolvikings Substance abuse is a big one. It’s extremely common for neurodivergent people who were not diagnosed and treated as children to use substances to cope with their effects as adults.

Today I did a thing! A wonderful afternoon, spent with wonderful women, taking the plunge and putting a paintbrush to canvas. THANK YOU for a brilliant afternoon instagram.com/p/Cd2uDIPv-Ukx…

Why yes, I do think now is a perfect time to start scaling back spending on clean energy #auspol #budget2022 #ClimateChange abc.net.au/news/2022-03-3…
