'Lowest paid workers' get 5.75% increase (i.e. below inflation).

Yet, Australia's PhD students get *below* minimum wage stipends while working 40+ hrs per week on cutting-edge research.

And no 5.75% increase.

#RaiseTheStipend to *at least* minimum wage!

A silly hat and mum's best day ever. Thanks again to my stellar supervisor cast Andrew Chin 🐀 #ratified Colin Simpfendorfer Will White Peter Kyne, part time mentor Cassie Rigby, PNGs NGO superstar Yolarnie Amepou and Save Our Seas for generous (and ongoing) support ✌️ #FreshwaterBestwater

Best new journal I accidentally stumbled across today - ‘Turkish Journal of Anaesthesiology and REANIMATION’.

I know it’s medical, but part of me is like ‘This is the journal for zombies and raising the dead’. #wishfulthinking #RandomThoughtsThursday

Olivia worked her #scicomm magic for me, creating these amazing designs for my upcoming Masters project. I'm so excited to be launching this project in just a few weeks!

Are you looking to increase engagement with your research? Or wanting to further your outreach with the public? I can help! I work on all aspects of sci comm, from posters to logo design. If you are interested, please contact me through my website: bit.ly/3EmW7ON.

After 20 years of waiting, finally 2 species of freshwater stingrays (P. leopoldi and P. wallacei) + 5 look-alike species were approved by consensus to be listed under CITES Appendix II at #CITESCoP19 . This is NOT a ban on trade and should help ensure trade sustainability!

Use the free FrogID app and record frogs near you & help count numbers.
It's Australian Museum's flagship citizen science project to improve our understanding of Australia's unique frog species. Frog Week ends tomorrow. Get cracking!

Today marks a historic moment in hammerhead shark conservation. But what exactly does the expanded Appendix II listing mean for the Sphyrnidae family and the broader narrative of shark conservation? #CITES 4Sharks #CITES #hammerheads #CITES CoP19

Three months ago, I wanted to submit a manuscript, and PI said no. Now, I am on gap year, and they are submitting my paper. It’s my idea! I collected the data! I wrote 99% of that paper! All they have done was gave me a lab and the equipments to run the study. #phdlife #phdchat

Very pleased to post my first ever tweet on my first ever blog post about the first research project i have been a part of!

Amazing. I just had three busy people all agree to review a paper I sent them for #PacificConsBio within 24 hours. Reviewing papers is vital to our profession, and I am so grateful to all of you who volunteer your time to review the papers we send you. #sciencelife #gratitude

CITES CoP19 - Brazilian freshwater stingrays (Potamotrygon leopoldi and Potamotrygon wallacei) need our support too! They are endemic, illegally traded, low productivity elasmobranchs that are subject to severe habitat loss, far more than marine species! Support Proposal #39!

Never knew that it could take >1 yr for an accepted paper to appear in an issue... better late than never and lucky it was available online prior: doi.org/10.1080/147240…

Our PNG sawfish children's book and outreach material starting to come together! Thanks again Save Our Seas for the continued support!
