#PhD opportunity with amazing supervisors at @westsyduhie.bsky.social and the Botanic Gardens Sydney, focusing on restoration success, genomic diversity and macroecology. Please share widely 🌿

Spring is really springing here in Sydney and we managed to get out on a bush walk in Ku-Ring-Gai NP to see some beautiful wild flowers with a toddler and newborn in tow 🌸🌿

PhD opportunity available at @westsyduhie.bsky.social with the brillant Dr Laura Williams - hyperspectral data and process-based modelling of tree diversity 🌳🌲 please share with your networks tinyurl.com/ms6mjz8y

Despite transport NSW cancelling pretty much all of their Sydney trains we had a great turn out @pintsworld.bsky.social in Parramatta, Aus 🍻 a crew of an astronomist @astrolaura.com an ecologist (me! 👋🏻) and a nuclear chemist (Anton Peristyy) chatting about our big and small research

Our paper on the integration of biodiversity-disease and biodiversity-herbivore relationships is out now! Thanks to @idiv-research.bsky.social for supporting us through #sDiv working group funding to bring together two typically disparate fields in ecology! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

A great week with the best collaborators! Especially Sid the sloth

This mantid was especially beloved 💚

In case you needed some wholesome content today: my toddler stops for every and all inverts 🥹💚🪲 “hi buggy”

Did you know the 2019/2020 megafires in Aus emitted more carbon than the rest of the yearly total carbon emissions across the continent 😮 amazing talk by Rachael Nolan #ESAus2024

The collab we all needed: #ESAus2024 X @sortee.bsky.social meet up in Melbourne 🍻 so nice to catch up with like-minded ecologists caring about open, reliable and transparent practices in all our spheres

But I’m also really excited to have a @sortee.bsky.social meet up at The General Assembly 6.30pm tonight! (Tuesday) - come along for free stickers and chats with other ecologists interested in open, reliable and transparent practices in eco/evo

Wow #ESAus2024 has been huge and exciting this year - I’ll be speaking on how we’re working to integrate plant drought physiology into conservation science tomorrow in the plenary 3 (scary large room!) at 11am

Exciting/bitter 1st Blue Sky post for me: saying farewell to the Allan Ecology Lab & snow covered IPS offices at UniBern where I’ve loved postdoc-ing for 3 years! Headed back to sunny Sydney where I'm thrilled to be starting a postdoc at Western Sydney University HIE & ARC COE for Plant Success 🎉
