Come for the frogs, stay for the science | PhD candidate @UniMelb | #WildlifeDisease, #Genetics and #Frogs 🐸🧬👩🏼‍🔬 she|her
So excited to share that I am officially a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at James Cook University ✨

Excited for the next few years, working across several exciting projects, not just 🐸, but 🪰🦐🐨🐠🐕🪸🦪 in the Animal Genomics & Breeding Laboratory!

And just like that, I am #PhDone 🥳

Couldn’t be prouder, happier or more tired. So much to be said, but for now we celebrate and we sleep 💃🍸😴

It’s the first #frogfriday for 2025, so what better way then to share our new preprint 🐸🍄

We exposed corroboree frogs to a low dose of #chytrid to detect variation in individual responses using a genetic representation of almost the entire species… ⬇️

It’s #frogfriday so bringing back my absolute favourite facts about corroboree frogs… and it’s that they wiggle their toes to attract their food! 🤤🦗🐸

What do you study merch on point today 🐸👌

But seriously how cute is this, my lab used a photo I took and got it embroidered onto a hat for my #PhD defence 🥹

Our new preprint on designing the first custom SNP array for a #frog is out now! 🤩🐸🧬

Designed to improve conservation outcomes in the Endangered corroboree frog, we genotyped >900 frogs, looked at their population structure & diversity…

Elated to share the 2nd chapter of my #PhD was just published 🎉

We looked at the impacts of Bd isolate and dose used in experimental exposures, and found they have significant impacts on infection outcomes 👎🐸🍄

Such an exciting first post here, because my #PhD completion seminar is next Thursday 🥳🐸🎓

If you’re interested in #frogs, more specifically the iconic corroboree frogs and chytrid fungus you can
tune in at 12pm AEDT 👇
