What a night! Elated to receive PM Prize for Life Scientist of the Year. Reflects a collective effort from our awesome team. So thankful to my collaborators, mentors, teachers, supporters, and funders. And loved meeting so many amazing people this week, including fellow awardees.

@evornithology I think it is cool to re-review and let the editors know. The authors might have made extensive changes and address many of your initial concerns (and you can point this out in the new review)

Is it cool to agree to review a manuscript if you already reviewed it when the authors submitted it to a different journal? If so, would you factor in your previous review when conducting the new one? Should you disclose that you’ve already seen it once?

Some exciting news to kick off the year… Thrilled to share that I have started as an Assistant Professor @_SLU as of Jan 1! 🥳🇸🇪 #NewPI
Looking forward to lots of exciting collaborations on #micropollutants, #ecotoxicology, #animal #behaviour, and lots more!

That’s a wrap for our 2022 conference!!
Thank you to you all for your time, effort, participation, and presentations both online and in-person!! 😎
We hope you had fun! And if you’re joining us for the dinner at the botanic gardens or not, hope you travel home safely!

thousands of migratory waders settling onto a high tide roost at roebuck bay @BroomeBirdObs. extraordinary spectacle and amazing to witness these aerial displays of multi-species flocks.

@EcolSocAus @alx_mcqueen I'm sure you have some shirts that would fit nicely in this collection!

Wonderful news on ultramarathon flying Bar-tailed Godwits. Satellite tracked bird has flown NONSTOP from Alaska to Tasmania for the first time! What a trip! Thanks @miranda_trust, Max Planck Institute and others for this work drawing our world together. Nature is wild! 1/2

It's a privilege to work with shorebird data collected over 46 years by the VWSG! #longtermdata #fieldwork #communityscience

We are always delighted when the data we gather are used beyond monitoring. VWSG member A new study shows that adaptation to warm climate best explains geographic patterns in wader size and shape. 👉 Short summary by @alx_mcqueen on our website vwsg.org.au/news-events/

I am proud to share this paper with you all, published today. The results are quite surprising: in females, #ornaments have equal potential to be #adaptive by acting as honest signals as in males, regardless of their tendency for reduced elaboration....

I had entirely too much fun talking to @kate_g_evans about bird song. I also have the mouth of a sailor when you get me going nzgeo.com/stories/whats-…

Our research uses over four decades of field data collected by community scientists of @vwsg_web and the Australasian Wader Studies Group! Thanks also to co-authors Matt Symonds, @MarsKlaassen & @TattersallG [9/9]

While it’s likely that many factors influence latitudinal patterns in animal size and shape, our results best support the thermoregulatory hypothesis for Bergmann’s and Allen’s rules. Read the full story here 👉 shorturl.at/bdlz5 [8/9]

Our paper on #biogeography of #shorebirds is out @NatureComms 🥳 doi.org/10.1038/s41467…
We show that birds from hot, tropical north Australia are smaller & have longer bills than conspecifics from temperate, south Oz. This is in line with #BergamnnsRule & #AllensRule 🧵 [1/9]
