Science is not truth. Science is finding the truth. When science changes its opinion, it didn't lie to you. It learned more.

If you are #publishing in #science please make sure you review at least twice as many papers as you publish. If you are an editor please broaden your reach to other scientists and don’t contact the same reviewers too often. #peerreview #academia

Completely agree, the misinformation being thrown around! The media outlets, including the ABC, are at fault too for not vetting their experts ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It would be nice if the Australian media would source information about avian influenza from avian veterinarians and disease ecologists rather than just birders and ecologists with wild untested hypotheses. #H5N1 #birdflu #avianinfluenza

Not a first for Phillip Island on the ground. I have several observations from Phillip Island in January 2020 including this one observed January 12, 2020.

🎃 Halloween costumes 👻 to scare scientists!!!

Partnerships between Nyangumarta Warrarn Aboriginal Corporation & DBCA have uncovered diversity of native bees in Walyarta Conservation Park. Sugarbag bee identified as high value to Nyangumarta people. 36 taxa recorded, 9 undescribed. Melaleuca spp. critical host. The Biodiversity Conference 2025.

Dorian Moro & Wiluna Martu Rangers. A site was identified by rangers in healthy spinifex. Ground searches found scats, active burrows & tracks. Remote cameras confirmed tjakurra, the first for Matuwa Kurrawa NP / IPA. Surveys have identified 116 active burrows. Biodiversity Conference 2025.

Great overview of the Yagarrajalajalan Nagula Buru Project which is tagging green sea turtles and dugongs to identify and map how turtles, dugongs and humans all use Yawuru Saltwater Country (around Broome in Western Australia). www.yagarrajalajalan-nagula-buru.org TheBiodiversity Conference 2025

In spring, over a billion Bogong moths travel from all over SE Australia to a place they have never been before, Alpine caves, to spend the summer in aestivation. In Autumn the same individual returns to its breeding ground & dies. How do they do it? Prof Eric Warrant. The Biodiversity Conference.

Have you ever wondered about the disparities in #seabirds species at conferences? Are we talking about all the species? Wonder no more. We (@thelabandfield.bsky.social @seabirdsentinel.bsky.social @ingridpollet.bsky.social) have the answer! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Good evening from Vancouver, Canada 🇨🇦 🍁

Good news everybody! The Independent Planning Commission just REFUSED the bid to restart Redbank Power Station, noting unacceptable negative impacts on native flora and fauna. Common Sense prevails! www.ipcn.nsw.gov.au/cases/restar...

Good morning!

Good morning from #BritishColumbia if you zoom in you can see the dorsal of a bull transient killer whale

In Singleton to address the NSW Independent Planning Commission regarding a proposal to clear half a million hectares of woodlands in Western NSW, intended as biomass feedstock for Redbank Power Station. In my professional opinion this will push embattled outback flora and fauna closer to extinction

New paper led by PhD student Ben Viola. We used shipboard data to better understand how snow petrels associate with their marine habitat! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Talk about a long-term study! The dataset for our fresh-off-the-press survival paper on Leach's storm-petrel was started before most of the authors were even born! #seabirds #itsnevertoolatetostartalongtermstudy doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

Pretty good day at sea in Bass Strait with some nice #seabirds and a few Antarctic Minke #Whales among other cetaceans. 🐋 🐦

Our new paper (early view out now!) details an unexpected triangular pattern of migration for Crested Auklets. 95% of our tagged birds spent time in the Chukchi Sea and Sea of Okhotsk before returning to their nesting site. Is it time to re-write the distribution maps? 🧪🐧🦑 doi.org/10.1093/orni...

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Scripps Research Institute have developed a groundbreaking UNIVERSAL coronavirus vaccine that triggers STONG immune responses AND shows promise in neutralizing MULTIPLE coronaviruses, including those responsible for causing COVID-19, MERS, AND even the “common cold.” 🧪🧵⬇️

Wilson's storm petrels, feeding in shallow waters (on amphipods, I think). Watch closely to see some fully submerging. This is the second time I've seen them diving. At Melchior Islands. #seabirds

Are you looking out for a #PhD on #seabirds? *New* competition-funded project to understand and share biologging data to reduce consenting risk from offshore wind farms. Exciting collaboration with @olliepadget.bsky.social and @naturalengland.bsky.social (1/3)

I usually reserve this account for my personal views; but today I want to represent my position as President of @asn-amnat.bsky.social to post a message that will shortly go out to the membership of the American Society of Naturalists from the ASN Executive Council

Scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were ordered to withdraw any pending publications, at any scientific journal, that mention terms such as “transgender,” “immigrant,” “L.G.B.T.” or “pregnant people.”

Cape Barren Geese seem pretty smart…
