Peeps! Remember that our #dartR team was a finalist for the Australian Museum Eureka Prize for Research Software 2025? 💻 We WON!!! 🥳 @eurekaprizes.bsky.social Wonderful evening with cool science, pretty dresses/tuxes, and yummy food @monashuniversity.bsky.social @monashbiol.bsky.social

What a great conference #ESEB2025 was! Catching up with, and making new friends 🤓 I also presented our latest results on genetic load. And Barcelona was 👌🏼 Grateful to @monashuniversity.bsky.social & @monashbiol.bsky.social for the FoSc Advancing Diversity in Science Grant @eseb2025.bsky.social

It's hard to express how much gratitude I have to everyone involved in the journey, both mine and @napari.org's, that has led to this point. #EurekaPrizes A small attempt below: 👇

I am thrilled to share that our dartR team is a finalist in the prestigious 2025 Australian Museum @eurekaprizes.bsky.social, in the Excellence in Research #Software category!!! 🤓💻🧬 30 sec video ⬇️; more details in the link in comments

Our paper on #genetic management of the #endangered Macquarie perch is published 🐟 🥳 !!! We present a framework for #metapopulation management and our pipeline JeDi (for estimation of unbiased het, pi and Dxy from RRseq data) 🧬 @monashbiol.bsky.social #Bioinformatics doi.org/10.1111/mec....

Here the #poster I presented at #ICCB2025 🥳 There are many problems when calculating individual and population #GeneticDiversity from RRseq data. We created an automated pipeline to avoid 4 big pitfalls: github.com/drobledoruiz...

Kudos to the amazing science comedy lineup at #ICCB2025! Something for everyone to learn from & laugh over: bird tinder, bugs > kids, fish hybrids, cheap therapy, Antarctic maths & spooky birds! @theg-cat.bsky.social @drobledoruiz.bsky.social @luzvpascal.bsky.social @lizzylowe.bsky.social +Ali & Sho

Come join us today at the #ICCB2025 Comedy Night! 6pm at Great Hall 1. Prepare for a combinations of science and laughs (hopefully) 🤣 I’ll be talking 😱 about the gorgeous helmeted honeyeater and the efforts around its #conservation. There will be 6 presenters: including @theg-cat.bsky.social

Last weekend we gave a workshop at #ICCB2025 on the use of #dartR for analysing genetic data for #Conservation 🧬🏔️🌿💻 We had participants working on super cool systems! You can find the code and resources here: green-striped-gecko.github.io/iccb2025/ ✨

Don't forget the amazing resources from the population genetics with #dartR workshop we gave in 2024 🌏 Tutorials: green-striped-gecko.github.io/kioloa/ Presentations: www.youtube.com/@dartRverse My talk: www.youtube.com/watch?v=JS5K...

Remembering when I took part in Pint of Science Festival 2024! 😍 @pintsworld.bsky.social Great evening of science + 🍺 + laughs! I learnt about Bec Brown's @redheadscientists.bsky.social cool research. Thanks to our fabulous MC Sean @seanmelliot.bsky.social and Jacinta @jacintahumphrey.bsky.social

Join me in this Pod of Science episode! We talk about the challenges that #endangered populations face and how we use #Genetics to help them 🧬 I was brilliantly interviewed by Ryan Hickmott from Pint of Science @pintsworld.bsky.social 🍺 Spotify: spoti.fi/3Ax5OvG SoundCloud: bit.ly/3SJ2RhS

I've been reflecting on how valuable it has been to be part of the 9th cohort of the #HomewardBound program ✨ This initiative aims at increasing the influence of women in #STEMM on making decisions that shape the future of our planet 🌏

I am humbled to have been a finalist for the WOC in STEM Awards 2024 by STEM Sisters AU 🥰 The list of amazing #women was inspiring: wocinstemawards.org/index.php/20..., including @tsonika.bsky.social So thankful to Paul Sunnucks and Sasha Pavlova for their nomination to the Rising Star Award 💚

It was AWESOME! 🤩 Almost a year ago I gave a #SciComedy talk about the #HelmetedHoneyeater at the #MelbourneIntlComedyFestival 😱 It was a full house and I had an absolute blast!!! Last week I was welcomed again for the 2025 edition 😍 Thanks to Future Science Talks and everyone that supported us!

It’s always a pleasure to see Paul presenting 🌱🐟🦜 So much to learn from him!

Enjoying #ESAus2024 so much! It’s great to catch up and hang out with our amazing collaborators Grateful to be sponsored by @monashbiol.bsky.social ECR National Conference Award The #conservation research being done in Australia is outstanding 🤩🦋🌱💛

Calling all Victorian-based people at #ESAus2024: If you're having a great time and are looking for another brilliant conference to go to, check out #VicBioCon25! Give them a follow and visit www.vicbiocon.com for more details 🌱🌱🌱

I am humbled to be a finalist for the WOC in STEM Awards 🙏 by STEM Sisters. The list of amazing #women is truly inspiring wocinstemawards.org/index.php/20... So thankful to Paul Sunnucks and Sasha Pavlova for their nomination to the Rising Star Award 💚
