One of my favourite things about camping on Kangaroo Island was being visited by goannas every day. Absolutely stunning animals. #wildoz 🦘

Just got back from two weeks in South Australia, mostly Kangaroo Island. Prepare yourselves for a slew of sea lion photos!
I particularly love this one of mum and bub strolling along the beach. #wildoz

extremely amused and relieved to find someone else justifying their animal personality research in this way - in a peer reviewed journal too!

Pretty blue flower wasp (Austroscolia soror) I saw in the rain the other day. Never noticed one before but apparently they’re pretty common in Canberra! #wildoz

‘Spot’ the difference! Trying to figure out how many individual eastern quolls are around at my study site - each animal has a unique pattern of spots on its coat. #wildoz

Going out for a fieldwork/monitoring session tonight and I can never figure out how to manage my workload around it. When doing a 7 hr 'shift' overnight I feel like I should take it easy during the day, but then I struggle with not feeling productive during daylight hours...

This reminds me of when I was telling a friend about the fun I had on a recent my fieldwork day. She said, "Wow, it must be so great for your mental health." I said, "Yeah, aside from all the stuff dying and nobody caring."
What’s it like being an Australian scientist during the biodiversity and climate change crises?

Sat down to write a grant application and the first words out of my mouth were “ugh I hate this”. Am I a real researcher now?

Fieldwork outing with a friend for her research. We spent 1.5 hrs waiting for two brown snakes to emerge from this wombat burrow - sadly only one of them obliged us so she’ll have to go out again. Nice day for it though.

I can’t even imagine how frustrating it must be to be a herpetologist or invertebrate scientist. It’s hard enough getting people to care about issues that affect cute little mammals, let alone animals that people actively hate

Nice little story about one of my fave macropods 😍 www.abc.net.au/news/2023-10...
Just 50 of these animals are left in the wild. The fight to save them has spanned decades
There are just 50 southern brush-tailed rock wallabies left in the wild. These are the people fighting to save them.
