ACAD postdoc Yassine Souilmi gave a wonderful #PintOfScience talk on #Dingoes last night to a very engaged and inquisitive audience
EVENT: 'Dingo DNA to Sheep Smarts' @pintofscienceAU Explore the history of dingos through ancient DNA and the truth behind how clever sheep are! 🧠 🍻 + 🔬 - what a combo! 📅 13 May ⏰7pm 💲 $8 📍 Wheatsheaf Hotel, Thebarton pintofscience.com.au/event/dingo-dn… @ACAD_Research_
Congratulations to PhD candidate Tessa Manning on her phascogale sperm storage publication in Australian Mammalogy doi.org/10.1071/AM24021

Celebrate Wombat Day with some BTS science! 👩🔬✂💈 By non-invasively collecting a tiny samples of fur from critically endangered Northern Hairy-nosed Wombat burrows at RUNR, we gather vital DNA information about the population's health. More 👉 bit.ly/NHNW-DNA
Thanks to @agtaGenomics for organising a great conference. Thanks to @ronin_cloud for sponsoring our PhD student @shyama_mama. He had a great time presenting about ancient DNA and a method to reduce DNA contamination. Congrats for best student presentation! #agta2024
Massive congratulations to @CaitlinMudge522 for giving her PhD completion seminar to the EEB crowd! It was amazing to hear all about the amazing work she has been doing within the ancient DNA field during the last few years 🎉 #aDNA #Australianmammals #quaternaryperiod
One of our very own will be speaking about her journey in science! Be sure to come along if you can, it should be a great event🧬
Mark your calendar as we eagerly await for our next panel event. Join us as we welcome four professional women in STEM share their journeys in science and answer all your questions. Afterwards, we will be serving food at the UniBar as an opportunity for networking.
Bringing you the 3rd series of HAAM-Radio Webinar! This time we’ll talk about Southeast Asian and Oceanian population. Don’t forget to register yourself to receive the zoom link.

Save the date for the 11th of October and join us in the Napier G04 Lt at 2:00pm for our panel event as we welcome four professional women in STEM discuss their journey in academia. Afterward we will be having a networking event at the UniBar , with food served.
PhD candidate @DALewis_ArchSci joined Aboriginal and Māori biomolecular researchers at the @BMH2024Melb presenting on #codesign of #Indigenous #sedaDNAresearch
Wow. The Indigenous Perspectives in BioMolecular Science stream @BMH2024Melb has been amazing . The Day showcased top #Indigenous researchers covering topics from #Cancer and #Immunology, to #Climate Change to #Genomics, to #Education. @UniMelbPoche @KimiHenare
Thrilled to share our preprint on Portugal’s genetic history! 🇵🇹
Preprint alert🚨This one is special, as I am happy to share our latest work on the genetic history of my native Portugal! Led by postdoc @XavierRocaRada, we use aDNA to uncover dynamic interactions between migrant and local communities across millennia! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
PHD SCHOLARSHIPS: ENVIRONMENTAL #GENOMICS & #BIODIVERSITY #CONSERVATION Hiring 2 PhD students to prevent extinctions of Australia’s threatened mammals with #DNA. You will be part of an @arc_gov_au project with a large & diverse team. Come join us! 👇👇 scholarships.adelaide.edu.au/?title=+PHD+SC…
Congratulations to Thom Harvey on a stellar CCSP talk about his work in "Reconstructing pre-European mammalian and plant diversity in central and western New South Wales to inform conservation management" using sedimentary DNA. He is supervised by Jamie Wood and Damien Fordham.
We are currently advertising two fully-funded PhD scholarships to reconstruct Australia’s pre-European mammal communities using ancient sedimentary and bulk-bone DNA. For further details, please see: lnkd.in/eBC_kpS9
Colourful fungi from New Zealand are adapted for bird dispersal - but do they now remain as ghosts of past mutualisms, much like the large tropical fruit once eaten by gomphotheres? New @MarsdenFund research theconversation.com/colourful-frui…
Aotearoa-NZ’s unique fauna provides a fascinating opportunity to explore how plants and fungi interact with the sensory systems of animals. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Forget Jurassic Park - today we bring you research which delves into real ancient DNA! ⛏🦖 Read about @SiobhanEvans13 from @UniofAdelaide's @ACAD_Research_ technique of extracting DNA from cave sediments & what it tells us 👇 adelaide.edu.au/environment/ne… @UofA_SET @DNATimeTravel
PhD candidate Siobhan Evans has written a short info article on sedimentary ancient DNA in Australian caves and rock-shelters adelaide.edu.au/environment/ne…
Dr Gludhug Purnomo’s invited talk on human genetic research in Wallacea and Sahul showed how community engagement benefits both researchers and the local populations. Great to catch Gludi at the International Society for Biological and Environmental Repositories conference #ISBER
