Just gave my talk at @austevolsoc.bsky.social 🐸
Shared our work on polyploidy and sex chromosome evolution in Australian burrowing frogs Neobatrachus.
Exciting discussions on autopolyploids vs allopolyploids and their inheritance patterns!

Off to AES 2025 in Brisbane to talk Neobatrachus! Records suggest both tetraploids can show up in Queensland. After three years with their specimens in Germany, the idea of seeing them in person feels a bit like meeting long-distance friends IRL 🐸 #Neobatrachus #amphibian #museomics

Honored to present our latest progress on using museomics to study the Australian burrowing frogs Neobatrachus at the 23rd European Congress of Herpetology. Also very happy to have met so many new friends during these five days! #SEH2025

I’m currently visiting the incredible Yuan Lab at Southwest University in China, where I’ve had the chance to explore the stunning herpetofauna. Here's a short photo thread of some fascinating species 🐍🦎🐸

Topic: Sex chromosome evolution in Australian burrowing frogs Neobatrachus 🐸
Would love to discuss with anyone interested, come by if you’re around! @stevedonnellan.bsky.social , Scott Edwards suggested I send you our photo together 😊

Time flies—three years ago and now, the PhD retreat @mpipz.bsky.social

As we step into 2025, the Year of the Wood Snake (乙巳), we embrace wisdom, transformation, and renewal. Just as the snake sheds its skin for new beginnings. Wishing you a prosperous and insightful New Year!
