great work from team coauthors Fiona, @petrathepostdoc.bsky.social, @zoologistedel.bsky.social, and @amakunin.bsky.social -- hopefully some useful nuggets towards reaching @ebpgenome.bsky.social genomes for eukaryotic diversity, a huge amount of which is arthropods!

You want to collect insects (and maybe other arthropods) for reference genome sequencing, but don't want to spend a fortune on dry ice shipping!

I've been working on a #YouTube series, exploring the #wildlife and #ecology as I wander random #nationalparks in #Australia.

The second episode is on the Hunter Wetlands, a natural gem sandwiched between a huge coal port and famous wine region...

Why are 500 #Antarctic & Southern Ocean researchers meeting in Hobart this week?

Worth a listen 🎧 Sabra Lane with Delphine Lannuzel on ABC Radio, on topics from tipping points to two ships.
