The value of #CitizenScience to the survival of our 🦘🦭🐨 🐭&🌿🌾🌳can't be understated, with success down to valuable data collected by volunteers. 🙏🙏 @atlaslivingaust's @elyw @EarthwatchAus's @anna_mccallum for being on our #OAWeek panel #OpenForClimateJustice @all_isee

@openaccess_anz @atlaslivingaust @elyw @EarthwatchAus @all_isee Thanks @openaccess_anz for hosting a great session. Find me @earthwatch_aus 😊.

We've joined 5 other museums nationwide to act on the #ClimateEmergency. Co-ordinated action is needed to address the impacts of #ClimateChange on our nation’s biodiversity following the bushfires: 🌏🌱 fal.cn/36m90 (@austmus, @SAMuseum, @wamuseum, @qldmuseum, @MAG_NT)

Our expert Kevin Rowe (@MVMammals) with @renee_firman have released a paper in @CurrentBiology telling us that as environmental conditions become arid, rodents band together and cooperate to survive! 🐭 Read more via @uwanews: fal.cn/36kSE #AusRodent #YearOfTheRat

We're facing a #PlanetaryEmergency. The natural world is disappearing faster than ever before. As it starts to vanish, the effects are already being felt. Humans have caused this crisis, and we must act to solve it. #ForPeopleAndPlanet nhm.ac.uk/discover/news/…

#RVInvestigator's latest voyage featured a collaboration between our scientists and Traditional Owners. Mibu Fischer, a CSIRO researcher and Quandamooka woman, highlights how. 🖤💛❤️ ^KR blog.csiro.au/indigenous-sal…

Our moth experts from Museums Victoria sample through the night and try and catch up on sleep through the day, which can be difficult on the hot days! 📷 Heath Warwick @museumsvictoria #littledesertnationalpark @envirogov @ParksVictoria @Parks_Australia @Earthwatch_Aus @bhp

It's getting exciting now 😍 frogs, bugs, native mice and skinks of the Little Desert 🦎🐸🐞🐁 📷 Heath Warwick from @museumsvictoria @envirogov @Parks_Australia @Earthwatch_Aus #bhp # @ParksVictoria #aussiewildlife #skinks #frogs

Day 2 - all about dragons and learning German @museumsvictoria @BushBlitz2 #bushblitz

Watching @ForeignOfficial tonight on the decline of insects. But glad to see Moth enthusiasts are a global phenomenon. In Victoria, @museumsvictoria and the Entomological Society are out counting and monitoring. museumsvictoria.com.au/article/light-…

44 scientists (Lead by Oscar Serrano), 33 research institutions and 5 years in the making; we can now reasonably estimate how much #BlueCarbon Australia has: nature.com/articles/s4146…. Spoiler alert: it's huge! Australia holds 5-11% of world's blue carbon.

Since climate striking began last year, our history curators have been attending to collect protest posters and images to document the movement. This material sits alongside objects from other major historic protests that have helped shape our world.

Squat lobsters flourished 150 million years ago and still do today! I’m looking forward to sharing my research on the living squat lobsters of Australia’s oceans soon.

New Holland Mice have disappeared from 7/12 historically occupied areas in Victoria in the past 40 years. Paper available online now at doi.org/10.1071/AM19006 or dm me for a pdf @AusMammals @UniMelbscicomm @museumsvictoria @ZoosVictoria #NewHollandMouse
