Coding Club is going strong! 💻💪😊Today Michael Adamos presented on 'Multivariate statistical analysis in R' and some of the research being undertaken by the forensic and analytical chemistry team. The Population Biology and Genomics team are proud to run this club😁💻

Big day for colleagues @benflips & @Judy_Dunlop as they launch WA's proposed Toad Control Zone - ambitious plans to hold back the cane toad wave by controlling water across the Pilbara! #conservation #invasiveSpecies abc.net.au/news/science/2…

Prof Ben Phillips explains the Toad Containment Zone - a project that aims to protect Pilbara wildlife from the impending cane toad invasion. For more details on the Toad Containment Zone, see the project's website here: toadfree.zone/the-tcz-1 @CurtinEandA @CurtinUni @benflips

In a conservation haven free from invasive predators but containing chuditch, we were unable to detect any loss of anti-predator traits from the resident woylies! Could this be another tool for conservation managers? Read more here: doi.org/10.1002/ece3.1…

Hear @benflips discuss the Toad Containment Zone project, protecting Pilbara #wildlife from cane toads. Crucial for #biodiversity protection, this project is a collab with traditional owners, rangers, and scientists from @CurtinUni and @Deakin. 👉 tinyurl.com/2csmfr2f

💻It was great to see so many people at the launch of the @CurtinUni School of Molecular & Life Sciences Coding Club! Presented by the Population Biology and Genomics team, the club is for staff and students to help each other with coding and coding-related problems. 💻👨‍💻👩‍💻

The importance of stupidity in scientific research

From drones to DNA, ecologists today use tools that would be unrecognizable to scientists 100 yrs ago—and the same is true of their statistics! Announcing "100 Years of Statistical Ecology," a Collection of landmark @ESAEcology papers Read the release: esa.org/blog/2024/05/1…

The Buzludzha Monument in Bulgaria is one of the world's strangest buildings. It's a sort of concrete UFO in the mountains which has been totally abandoned since 1989. And it also represents one of the strangest architectural movements in history...

The evolution of a hobo snail. New recommendation I just wrote for PCIEvolBiol. evolbiol.peercommunityin.org/articles/rec?i…

Just finished my third recommendation of a scientific article for @PCIEvolBiol. evolbiol.peercommunityin.org/articles/rec?i… Two days since the recommendation and the paper has already been published in the Peer Community Journal. Fast! peercommunityjournal.org/articles/10.24…
