I am speaking at Joint Meeting of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists #JMIH25. Please check out my talk if you're here!

I'm really enjoying the #JMIH25 conference in St. Paul, Minnesota. Today, I went to an excellent talk by @jodirowley on her amazing FrogID app 🐸🐸🐸

Amphibians are essential to the broader health of ecosystems – yet they are the most threatened vertebrate class on earth. 🐸 Read this piece penned by Dr. Tiffany Kosch @TAKosch, @UniMelb, to discover how genetic approaches 🧬 could help save critically endangered frogs from a…
I'm enjoying meeting so many inspiring conservation scientists and learning about their fascinating research at @ICCB2025 in lovely Brisbane, Australia 🇦🇺 🌏🌊🌴🦘🐸🪸

Some more excellent press on the corroboree frog genome publication by @SmithsonianMag smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/sci…
Experts hope that the newly mapped genome of one of Australia’s most threatened amphibians - the southern corroboree frog - could lead to selective breeding and genetic engineering to increase their resistance to a deadly disease and climate change. The Critically Endangered…
In April, the AGC hosted an excellent seminar by Marlys Houck from the San Diego Frozen Zoo @sandiegozoo. 👉You can watch Marlys' talk and the many others we have lined up for the year by joining the AGC at go.unimelb.edu.au/k2ss

After nearly a decade of work, I’m thrilled to share the publication of the southern corroboree frog genome—a high-quality, chromosome-level assembly made possible by an incredible team from @UniMelb, @genomeark, @sangerinstitute, @ZoosVictoria & more. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Looking to improve repeat classification in your genome? Try our new tool! It excels at classifying previously unclassifiable repeats in amphibians and other non-model eukaryotes 🧬🐶🐸🪱🦇🐟
Excited to share Terrier 🧬✨🐶 — our new AI model to classify repetitive DNA. DNA repeats make up huge parts of genomes and play a key role in evolution, but are notoriously hard to classify. Preprint just released: doi.org/10.48550/arXiv…
This week the AGC hosted an excellent seminar by Kin Onn Chan @chankinonn from the Kansas Biodiversity Institute & Natural History Museum. You can watch Kin's talk and the many others we have lined up for the year by joining the AGC at go.unimelb.edu.au/k2ss
