👋 Meet #NSW's most remote family. In the north-west corner of NSW, you'll find UNSW's Dr Bec West & Dr Reece Pedler alongside their children, Isla & Zachary. Leading the Wild Deserts project, this family of ecologists are on a mission to change the desert as we know it! 🧵

Our paper, led by PhD student @SarahTopfer_ is out today in @BloodJournal (ashpublications.org/blood/article-…) with a commentary by @rosshardison (ashpublications.org/blood/article/…), a podcast (ashpublications.org/blood/pages/bl…) and a great press release by @isadubach! newsroom.unsw.edu.au/news/science-t… @UNSWBABS @UNSW

Next on Australian Story, meet the young family helping to bring our endangered animals back from the brink of extinction 🐾 Into the Wild | Monday on #AustralianStory @ABCTV @UNSW @UNSWScience @CES_UNSW

200 miles northwest of Sydney, McGraths Flat's rusted rocks are brimming with insects and spiders—traces of an ancient jungle. Scientists are using this trove of remarkable fossils to reconstruct a lost ecosystem. My debut for @nytimes on a #FossilFriday nytimes.com/2022/01/07/sci…

Fossils of giant cicadas, wasps, trapdoor spiders, fish, even a 🪶 have been discovered at a new site by scientists from @austmus, @UNSW Science and @UniCanberra. The NSW site contains superb examples of fossilised plants and animals from 11 to 16 million years ago. 📷M Frese

Chemical clues in Tasmanian devils’ whiskers can reveal what they ate nine months ago, a new @UNSW Science-led study shows. Watch 🎥

How do we explain the mess we’ve created on Planet Earth that future generations will be left to deal with? UNSW climate change experts share how they talk to their kids about #climatechange. #COP26 @unswscience @KatrinJM @sarahinscience @ccrc_unsw newsroom.unsw.edu.au/news/science-t…

We each have our own reasons for getting vaccinated, from protecting our friends to giving Mum a big hug. It's been a long ride, but we're almost there. We're calling on our community to get vaccinated as soon as you can. #LetsDoThisUNSW 💪

Researchers from @UNSWScience, who examined the DNA and RNA of 13 Australian marsupial species, believe that viral fossils may be helping protect animals from infection. Read more: unsw.to/marsupial-dna

Hands up if you’ve ever felt judged, or stared at, while eating out in public. "Body shaming, discrimination and stigmatisation often has real effects on people's lives,” says @SPRC_UNSW Professor @DALupton. newsroom.unsw.edu.au/news/social-af…

While the #COVID19 pandemic is weighing heavily on everyone’s mental health, people from #refugee backgrounds may be uniquely affected, owing to their past traumatic experiences. @BelLiddell @A_Nickerson36 & I discuss our current research, and what governments can do to help.

So a bunch of really big media outlets very, very catastrophically botched their coverage of the #IPCC report today hey (it is fossil fuel propaganda and an outright lie to state that climate change "cannot be stopped". Burning fossil fuels causes it, not doing that stops it)

The largest study of #COVID19 recovery time ever undertaken in Australia has revealed 1 in 20 cases report long-term symptoms. @UNSWMedicine systematically tracked 2904 people – almost everyone (94%) diagnosed with COVID-19 in NSW between Jan & May 2020. newsroom.unsw.edu.au/news/health/on…
