OHRG spreading the word about Fantastic Frogs and their Frightful Fungal Foes at “A day at Melbourne” experience for high schoolers @UniMelb

I’m on my way home from an epic stint at Macquarie. Everything went smoothly in the lab (this NEVER happens!), which meant I could fit in a visit to the frog conservation hero’s at Taronga zoo and hear about GGBF habitat restoration from RZS NSW. I also did a lot of snorkelling.

Proud to be part of this. annualreviews.org/eprint/V6CMBIF…

I'm grateful for the @UniMelb global collaboration award which allowed me to travel to @UofR and get involved in this great research on the unexpected interaction of chytrid and ranavirus. mdpi.com/1999-4915/16/1…

A great opportunity to develop novel tools for amphibian conservation. Apply: findanexpert.unimelb.edu.au/opportunity/60….

"No Chytrid left behind" I'm pleased to have been involved in the development of a universal PCR assay for chytrid detection. Check it out here: doi.org/10.1155/2023/9…

We are looking for a PhD student with molecular biology skills to join our team. For more information, and to apply, please visit: findanexpert.unimelb.edu.au/opportunity/60…

We are looking for a PhD student to develop innovative methods for combatting chytridiomycosis. Please share @OneHealthRes

@bethanykeats Thanks! Love that you noticed:)

@WreckaWebb omg your earrings! Do you have a close up of them?

My lovely supervisor, Cathy.

After four years of long days in the field and even longer days in the lab. I made it! @jcu @CPHMVS_JCU #phddone

It was so nice to be invited to attend the inaugural “Rick Speare Oration”. A great man who made an epic contribution to human and animal health. We miss him.

I'm excited to announce we have started our first large Bd-challenge study in corroboree frogs. This project has been many years in the making. We will be investigating the genetic basis of immunity in this critically endangered species @OneHealthRes @FVASunimelb @MicrobeMik 🐸🧬

Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi Oi Oi #GARD2022

Big Al!!!

It’s been a very long and bumpy journey to thesis submission, but I made it. Cheers x

Thanks #ASH22 for giving me an excuse to wear roller skates to a conference dinner.

Who decided black histo foam was a good idea? Tissue samples are almost invisible 😂
