Scientists love to debate and argue, but if there are 3 things every scientist absolutely agrees on, it's that: 1. Climate change is real 2. Vaccines work 3. Those are NOT dire wolves 😤 🧪

Creatures of the Deep: spectacular evolutionary radiations can unfold even within environments with few ecological resources and demanding physiological challenges. New work from the Australian National Fish Collection & collaborators out in Nature Ecol Evol: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Whoa! Temperature*perception* and epigenetic inheritance. I am intrigued and curious to see how this could play out in vertebrates. C. elegans are pretty cool models sparking new epigenetic insights.

So "Science Twitter" seems to have migrated over to this platform. What a lovely safe haven so far. I am re-posting some recent work, that I am hoping will now reach the right people! Epigenetic time travel is now possible with the help of museums: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Anna Kearns from the Australian National Wildlife Collection has made the cover the journal Evolution. Her paper “Untangling the colonization history of the Australo-Pacific reed warblers, one of the world’s great island radiations”. Congratulations Anna! doi.org/10.1093/evol....

Good news, Altmetric has now started watching BlueSky for mentions of publications. And by the way, provides an easy comparison between this and the old site for a recent preprint of mine which I posted simultaneousl at both. Numbers speak by themselves !

The "Environomics Future Science Platform" program has grown from a seed of an idea to an enormous program of work delivering environmental benefits and tools over the last 9 years. I am so happy to be a small part of it. Our celebratory video that describes the impacts: my.csiro.au/News/NCMI/20...
