We got the band back together for another tour! 🤣..ok, it’s for an ARC Discovery Project..yay!
So chuffed to be exploring “The transgenerational nature of microplastic toxicity” with Paco Garcia-Gonzalez and Leigh Simmons.
Postdoc/PhD positions advertised early 2026.

Very happy to publish this with some young and inspiring ecologists, Rachelle and Will, and of course Dustin (a more seasoned, but also inspiring, behavioural ecologist).

Great grab by Bec and Holly! A tiny Pilbara ningaui turning up on a pebble mound.
This species is the most common captured on the mounds (after pebble mice!).
Great timing for my MSc marsupial biol students and their lecture on burrowers as habitat advocates.

This wee rascal has gone untrappable for 2 years!! Well done to @rebeccajquah.bsky.social and Holly (MSc student) who caught her this morning. Aptly named Mojo Jojo, she is a very special mouse. MJ is allowing us to monitor the build a new mound-burrow system - literally from the ground up!
