So excited to share that I am officially a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at James Cook University ✨ Excited for the next few years, working across several exciting projects, not just 🐸, but 🪰🦐🐨🐠🐕🪸🦪 in the Animal Genomics & Breeding Laboratory!

@NicholasWuNZ Thanks Nic!! 🥳

@MicrobeMik Love the thesis title! Congrats Dr Davidson 🐸

And just like that, I am #PhDone 🥳 Couldn’t be prouder, happier or more tired. So much to be said, but for now we celebrate and we sleep 💃🍸😴

@Keogh_Lab Thanks Scott! Big relief 🥳

@MicrobeMik Congrats Miki, a huge achievement.

@NatureArtVic Amazing!! I just emailed you 🥰🥰

@MicrobeMik I am happy to take commissions, drop my an email to info.vikspics@gmail.com with the image, details of what you need, when you need it and size and I can send a price. I'm going away tomorrow for two weeks but if you can email me everything today I can take it with me.

All the green areas done on my European tree frog drawing, now to start the underneath. #SciArt #wildlifeartist

And not only did we find a range of phenotypic variation across the species, from susceptible ➡️ tolerant ➡️ resistant. But we also found significant differences in outcomes and influences between repeated experimental exposures in this Critically Endangered #frog 🐸

It’s the first #frogfriday for 2025, so what better way then to share our new preprint 🐸🍄 We exposed corroboree frogs to a low dose of #chytrid to detect variation in individual responses using a genetic representation of almost the entire species… ⬇️ shorturl.at/GJQtI

Our new preprint on designing and applying the first custom SNP array for a #frog is out now! 🤩🐸🧬 We then genotyped >900 Endangered corroboree frogs & looked at their population structure and diversity… with more exiting working coming soon 🤞 doi.org/10.22541/au.17…

Check out our new preprint on the first frog SNP array we designed to help improve conservation efforts for corroboree frogs. Big shoutout to Miki Davidson @MicrobeMikfor for her awesome work leading this project! @Keogh_Lab @UniMelb @SciMelb authorea.com/users/868709/a…

Elated to share the 2nd chapter of my #PhD was just published 🎉 We looked at the impacts of Bd isolate and dose used in experimental exposures, and found they have significant impacts on infection outcomes 👎🐸🍄 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Check out the new paper by @MicrobeMik and colleagues from @OneHealthRes on the impact of Bd strain and dose on infection outcomes in corroboree frogs 🐸🐸🐸 @UniMelb @SciMelb sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Yesterday was a deeply proud moment for me—my first PhD student, Miki Davidson @MicrobeMik, presented her completion seminar, showcasing all her incredible work on developing a selective breeding approach to enhance chytrid resistance in corroboree frogs. @UniMelb @SciMelb

You can find me @microbemik.bsky.social for all the corroboree frog goodness 🐸

#frog 🐸 & #herpetology 🐍 people has anyone got a list of all the amazing researches going on .bsky? The only sad thing I’m feeling is the thought of loosing you all on here 😢

Zoom link: unimelb.zoom.us/j/88558815739?…

The end is in sight!!! 🐸🎓🥳 If anyone is interested in coming along to my #PhD completion seminar, it’s this Thursday at 12pm AEDT Link to join Zoom below, or in person on the Werribee campus!
