Climate change is real, by the way.

Only 2 weeks left to send your expression of interest: PhD opportunity within the SouthernSharkEG
and Neurobiology Lab with me, lauraryansci and #NathanHart Deadline 15th of August👇

Not to be alarmist but…this is what’s called a six-sigma event, now unfolding in Antarctica.

Otherwise known as a once-in-7.5-million-year event.

Hang onto your hats.

New #shark paper alert! We used a #camtag to track the release of a juvenile tiger shark after 2 years in captivity, plus the paper is #OpenAccess so just click here to read: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11… 1/3

If you agree the Australian PhD stipend should be raised to meet minimum wage, please sign this petition to parliament. Must be an Aus citizen or resident to sign. Fewer than 5000 people have signed so far #PhDVoice #PhDLife - aph.gov.au/e-petitions/pe…

I'm really thrilled and can't wait to get going! This is truly a dream coming true for me! Stay tuned for some #marine #megafauna science in the upcoming years 🦈

Climate activists are sometimes depicted as dangerous radicals.

But the truly dangerous radicals are the countries that are increasing the production of fossil fuels.

Investing in new fossil fuels infrastructure is moral and economic madness.

Our latest study showing fish can add and subtract ‘one’ was featured in Science Magazine 👇science.org/content/articl…

🌊 Just published! Following our previous study on numerical cognition in #elasmobranchs , we now showed arithmetic abilities in #cichlids and #stingrays for the first time! 🐠🐠🐠 It shows once again that fish are sentient animals.

European countries continue to dominate almost half of the trade in shark fins to markets in Asia.

I hope this report helps to silence the xenophobic narrative that the shark fin trade is an “Asian problem” when in reality it is an international one.

I am really excited to share my first First-Author paper investigating numerical abilities in two #elasmobranch species. Big thanks to Vera Schluessel for giving me this opportunity! mdpi.com/2076-2615/11/9… 🦈

There’s a lot of concern and confusion right now about the new #sarscov2 variant identified in UK. I’ve spent today and yesterday talking to a dozen people working on this. My story is here: sciencemag.org/news/2020/12/m…
