It's also worth mentioning that Milad is presenting his work and latest paper as a finalist in the 3MT competition. You can see his pitch and vote for him at the below link - it only takes 5 seconds! canberra.edu.au/about-uc/event…
Huge congratulations to Milad Esmaeilbeigi on his first PhD paper, out now! Milad found evidence for a metal disease refuge from the deadly #amphibian #chytrid fungus, possibly explaining persistence of some populations of threatened #frogs 🐸 @UC_CCEG authors.elsevier.com/c/1jalD3Ao67Ut2
I am still accepting applications. Thanks 🙏
My first day @CityofEdmonton @UAlberta - here to create a Centre for Open Science & Synthesis in #Ecology & #Evolution. Looking for ~5 postdocs to join me in establishing the centre. Please apply - i-deel.org/opportunities.… Please RT
You couldn’t get a better project, study system or PhD student! Jump on it! @lizard_lab @UC_CCEG
Another successful field trip finished for my PhD! We were able to do an exciting experiment in #sociallearning! 🐦⬛ If anyone is interested in volunteering- I have another field trip coming up in September- feel free to DM!
So great to see this finally out and glad that I could contribute to it. Let’s hope it makes a difference.
🌟 The 3rd Amphibian Conservation Action Plan (ACAP) is out!🌟 We are thrilled to announce the launch of the 3rd Amphibian Conservation Action Plan (ACAP). The document provides a comprehensive roadmap for global amphibian conservation. #AmphibianConservation #ACAP2024
Looking for a #postdoc? We're hiring! Come and work with @BenCScheele, @RichardDuncanUC and me on a project investigating cutting-edge approaches to restoring amphibian populations in #chytrid-impacted landscapes. 3-year position, fully funded by ARC DP uctalent.canberra.edu.au/cw/en/job/5012…
Delighted to have been interviewed for this podcast! Follow link to hear about our newest research in @Nature These frog 'saunas’ could help endangered species fight off a deadly fungus nature.com/articles/d4158…
Also a fantastic write up of the article by @BrianGratwicke & @savagevolution in nature's news and views. nature.com/articles/d4158…
A great opportunity in a fantastic lab! Get on it!

Hot off the press: our latest work on protecting threatened #frogs from the devastating #chytrid fungal pathogen out now in @Nature. Paper led by @AnthonyWaddle - out of his PhD no less! 🐸🐸 @UCSciTech @IAEUC 📸Mike Swan nature.com/articles/s4158…
New paper out today on the cover of Science!!! Parasitic cuckoos and their hosts are locked in an evolutionary arms-race that is driving speciation. Biological collections can answer big scientific questions – in this case, how do new species form? @CSIRO @MuseumGenomics
Jump on this phenomenal opportunity! Shinichi is the best to work with!

A huge win for the Canberra Grassland Earless Dragon! @UC_CCEG researchers @gelbgecko, @RichardDuncanUC and Steve Sarre awarded funding to conduct a breeding and reintroduction program for the critically endangered #lizard. 🦎🦎 @UCSciTech
Researchers at @IAEUC have been awarded a grant to fund the breeding and reintroduction of the Canberra Grassland Earless Dragon. 🦎 The project is funded by a @DCCEEW Saving Native Species Program – Priority Species grant, announced today on #BiodiversityDay. #UniCBR
Amazing work @ejstringe_r !!
Boom-bust populations are a prominent part of Australia's unique ecosystems. But how do they maintain #genetic diversity when they face constant bottlenecks through the 'bust'? @ejstringe_r and colleagues reveal how, in their latest paper in @PNASNews! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
That’s a wrap on @AusSocHerp and my first trip to Townsville! Was fun to finally give my masters the light of day 🐸

Huge congrats to @UC_CCEG's @SimonClulow & @RichardDuncanUC along with @BenCScheele from @scienceANU! We expect to see many exciting things ahead for the #frogs of the ACT and beyond 🐸🐸
🎉 Exciting news! 📚 Thrilled to announce our #ARC #DP24 on restoring amphibian populations in chytrid-impacted landscapes has been funded, with @RichardDuncanUC and @BenCScheele! 🙌 It's such a brutal process, commiserations to all the great projects that missed out 😞 @UC_CCEG
We all know genetic diversity is vital for healthy populations, so how do boom-bust species persist when we expect such drastic population changes to cause low genetic diversity? @petahill26 and @UC_CCEG colleagues unravel this paradox in their new paper: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/me…
