Pedagogy. Archipelago. And one time, “Leo Pard”

Hi! That’s a nice thread. And they certainly *can* enhance safety. But the evidence shows that a) they don’t always, and b) we don’t evaluate them enough to actually answer that question. My own thread on the science 👇 bsky.app/profile/drky...

Thanks for sharing! This is something we can help look into. We have a report function on our website or you can reach out via DM ➡️ pesticideaction.org.au/report/
As to b) good question - see our recent article on some of the structural issues re. pesticide regulation in Australia ➡️ buff.ly/4gDhP30

It's an insecticide not a weed control. That's as much as I know so far. The company isn't answering the phone and I understand they're generally cagey about products (to paraphrase the website - 'it's safe unless you're a fish')

Yes & no. There's @dianafisher1080.bsky.social's 2001 life-history database doi.org/10.1890/0012..., and we also developed parameter estimates for various marsupials (extinct & extant) here: doi.org/10.7554/eLif... (have a look at Appendix 2 in particular). But 'plug-in' values not straightforward

I do. Update used in this 2023 paper www.researchgate.net/publication/.... Much of the data are from my 2001 Ecology database or Comadre compadre-db.org/Data/Comadre @robsalgo.bsky.social. Now working on a global marsupial trait database (led by Mariana, Brazil www.researchgate.net/profile/Mari...).

Thanks! This looks great! I think I’m just going to be out of luck with a few groups (eg melomys, uromys etc) and will probably struggle with survival estimates for many.

It's really astounding! And also kind of not surprising I suppose... My European co-authors haven't quite grasped the state of Aus wildlife data. "Just grab it from a closely related species!". Me, looking at an echidna... Thanks for the tips!

Also, if anyone knows how to fix this, I’m all ears! It seems to selectively ignore a) out of office replies (not such a loss), b) emails from people within my institution (kind of a big deal)

Thanks! It’s in my signature but even close collaborators seem to … overlook it. I’ve also blocked out my calendar on non-work days and yet meeting requests come through 🤦🏻‍♀️

I especially loved seeing the floating wetlands in the Yarra!

Congrats to @drkyliesoanes.bsky.social @jacintahumphrey.bsky.social and the whole team!

Non-traditional hours but that doesn't mean I expect others to do the same.

I find I don't say 'no' a lot. Rather I say 'I AM SO EXCITED BY THIS IDEA! These are the days I can work on this with you.'

The biggest problem I have is cross-over between roles. The boundary setting is harder, but..

I say "no." by saying "no" when needed I *become* a timelord.

I don't set out of office messages. that's for people who are expected to be available all the time. anyone who expects this is bonkers.

(as an old white dude I benefit from a lot of privilege when I do this...)

OMG can we write a paper about tyre swan biodiversity?

Thanks Dan!

😂 thanks so much!
