Celebrating #WorldEnvironmentDay‌2024 with #hunterenvironmentalinstitute and @UON_research ray guru Molly Grew. Awesome non-invasive techniques for measuring the contribution of rays to estuarine ecosystems.

If you want to see some funny research talks come to the Future Science Talks @Newyfringe. I’ll be there too 🤣 newcastlefringe.com.au/events/future-…

Check out our new article in The @ConversationEDU talking about a new way to detect the amphibian fungal disease in Asia. Was fantastic to collaborate with such good people on such an important project. @SreedharanGaya3 @Science_Academy @ConservationUon theconversation.com/the-worlds-wor…

Sugar and spice are not all things nice....@RoseUpton1 demonstrates the importance of #sperm #cryopreservation is in the #integrated #conservation of #amphibians

I got so excited when google photos shared a memory with me called 'Underwater Adventures'. But all it served to do was remind me that perhaps I need a holiday 😜 #frogs #conservation #tiredscience photos.app.goo.gl/xvhv88rvFCk7Z9…

It's a frog's life - disease, dispersal and diversity - Small population size results in low genetic diversity driving a high risk of local extinction. The Blue Mountains population of the endangered Littlejohn's tree frog requires urgent on ground conservation actions.

If the easter rain means you can't get out to find your frogs for #CitSciMonth, you can get your fix at #FrogFind zooniverse.org/projects/ollib…. Lend us your ears for conservation!

Interested in studying #AmphibianConservation, #ConservationGenetics, #HabitatRestoration, or #IvertebrateEcology? Here is why you should consider these PhD positions. A thread

So excited to have this wildlife doco by @mhairifenton featured as part of #wildlifeweek.

Not everyone can channel the taxa that saves us from insect pestilence.

Here is our updated Bushland Marquee program for talks & music, plus a map for finding everything for the Our Bushland Festival Day this Sunday! Even if you missed out on booking a spot for the walks, there’s lots more to see & do on the day! Bring a picnic too 🌳🥳

@OzGouldian @ConservationUon I think we scored the dodgy ponds....

Ephemeral pond, making a perfect reflective surface for the sky. Out searching for the dreaded gambusia with uon students 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 #ecology @dr_callen #pond #fish @ConservationUon

@RegionNetwork @Uni_Newcastle @ConservationUon That is priceless!

@dr_callen @Uni_Newcastle @ConservationUon After fische and chips?

Not so many gambusia in our hunt in the rain tonight, just the usual stolen tech rising from the murky depths of Kooragang #ilovekooragang #conservationbiology #kooragangcleanup @Uni_Newcastle @ConservationUon 🐸

@CassandraKBugir Haha! Maybe it gave up on them! Mine never lasted the whole marathon, nor did Rose's I think!

@dr_callen Has a PhD student finally given up on their Dell laptop? Haha

And a well deserved award! Huge congratulations @Mattea_Taylor!

Back on the island - this time for gambusia hunting! Don't want to 'rib-bit' in but this is where cool kids are! @uni_newcastle #conservationbiology @ConservationUon #ecology 🐸

@LandcareAust @intrepdlandcare @CostasGarden When the knowledge gained from scientific research ends up in the hands of those that 'can and do' we get amazing things like this! Go hard @LandcareAust @intrepdlandcare & @CostasGarden

The NextGen Landcare Youth Forum is in full swing and the team at @intrepdlandcare and @CostasGarden are fired up to be engaging with young people curious to know more about how they can make a difference for the environment 🌱 #NextGenConference #LandcareConf22
