It was AWESOME! 🤩

Almost a year ago I gave a #SciComedy talk about the #HelmetedHoneyeater at the #MelbourneIntlComedyFestival 😱 It was a full house and I had an absolute blast!!!

Last week I was welcomed again for the 2025 edition 😍

Thanks to Future Science Talks and everyone that supported us!
Peeps! Remember that our #dartR team was a finalist for the Australian Museum Eureka Prize for Research Software 2025? 💻 We WON!!! 🥳 @eurekaprizes.bsky.social Wonderful evening with cool science, pretty dresses/tuxes, and yummy food

What a great conference #ESEB2025 was! Catching up with, and making new friends 🤓 I also presented our latest results on genetic load. And Barcelona was 👌🏼

Grateful to @monashuniversity.bsky.social & @monashbiol.bsky.social for the FoSc Advancing Diversity in Science Grant

Our paper on #genetic management of the #endangered Macquarie perch is published 🐟 🥳 !!!

We present a framework for #metapopulation management and our pipeline JeDi (for estimation of unbiased het, pi and Dxy from RRseq data) 🧬

Here the #poster I presented at #ICCB2025 🥳 There are many problems when calculating individual and population #GeneticDiversity from RRseq data. We created an automated pipeline to avoid 4 big pitfalls: github.com/drobledoruiz...

Come join us today at the #ICCB2025 Comedy Night! 6pm at Great Hall 1. Prepare for a combinations of science and laughs (hopefully) 🤣

I’ll be talking 😱 about the gorgeous helmeted honeyeater and the efforts around its #conservation. There will be 6 presenters: including @theg-cat.bsky.social

Remembering when I took part in Pint of Science Festival 2024! 😍 @pintsworld.bsky.social

Great evening of science + 🍺 + laughs! I learnt about Bec Brown's @redheadscientists.bsky.social cool research. Thanks to our fabulous MC Sean @seanmelliot.bsky.social and Jacinta @jacintahumphrey.bsky.social

Join me in this Pod of Science episode! We talk about the challenges that #endangered populations face and how we use #Genetics to help them 🧬

I was brilliantly interviewed by Ryan Hickmott from Pint of Science @pintsworld.bsky.social 🍺

It’s always a pleasure to see Paul presenting 🌱🐟🦜 So much to learn from him!
Now at #ESAus2024 Paul Sunnocks is reflecting on how ecology and genetics are closely entwined in #conservation🌏 science.

Genetic traits drive demography of populations.

Things that increase extinction risk:
- inbreeding depression
- loss of useful function
- reduced adaptability

Enjoying #ESAus2024 so much! It’s great to catch up and hang out with our amazing collaborators

Grateful to be sponsored by @monashbiol.bsky.social ECR National Conference Award

The #conservation research being done in Australia is outstanding 🤩🦋🌱💛
