Day 1 of my first ESA conference. I’ll be chairing and speaking in the aquatic science session this arvo. #ESA25 @ecolsocaus.bsky.social

Let me introduce you to @louisehosking.bsky.social, a new PhD student in my lab and an ATSE Elevate Scholar. Here she is undergoing shark dissection training with her wonderful co-supervisor Bonnie Holmes. Lou will be developing geochemical methods to better understand #sharks.

Congrats Erica Durante for publishing amazing research (+ your 4th PhD paper!). Erica developed methods to extract estrogen & progesterone from cephalopod beaks. Now we can get lifetime reproductive data from species we know little about! @aslo.org

Swanning around on a sticky-hot long weekend. #birdlife #wildoz

Congratulations @arielitristao.bsky.social for winning our Institute’s student award for your leadership as President of the PhD student association and stellar research on radiogenic isotopes (for biological applications)!

I'm loving my new @bsky.app community, so here's a little about me: science, history, culture, and travel feed my curiosity; nature and gardening give me peace; and effective writing and communication always keeps me thinking.

I run a marine science lab in Australia and this is what we do:

Brand new review paper that sums up the thing I do. In short, there is a whole lot of overlooked chemical data ready and waiting inside aquatic taxa that can be used to monitor the environment and support species and ecosystem health.

This is what relief looks like. Well done you two for giving you first conference talks ever, and doing it with aplomb!!

And well done Arieli for being elected as the national student rep for @austsocfishbiol.bsky.social #asfb24.

Congratulations Arieli for presenting your first conference talk about how radiogenic isotopes can support marine and fisheries science at #asfb24.
