Dear @stephencolbert.bsky.social, Thanks for all the years of speaking truth to power & finding the funny in fascism. Looking forward to following you wherever you land, Your fan, Mar🐫

Do you want to #win a week’s #writing fellowship at TLC’s Sloping Main Reserve? Join us for a webinar on 9 July at 6pm to chat with some of Australia’s best #nature #writers, and get inspired. Find out more about the #residency and the online panel at islandmag.com/submit @islandmag.bsky.social

'We found him in very poor condition, just a few hours to live. A diet of mealy worms, crickets, grasshoppers, wood grubs, a scorpion and moths got him back to a full recovery.' Welcome to the program Kevin and Isabelle! You are off to an absolutely flying start

This is Kevin & Isabelle Brown from Gleneagle Tasmania at Riana, our newest #LandforWildlife members. They are very keen on protecting their #eucalypt bushland & looking after #wildlife, & recently restored 'Wobbles' a dusky #antechinus to good health.

We are thrilled to #announce that thanks to the support of over 1,000 people, #PineTier is now protected and forms the largest privately protected area in Lutruwita / #Tasmania. We couldn't have done it without you – thank you for making this possible.

We would love feedback on a new NCBI-BLAST service we are launching today: sky-blast.com Under the hood it's the same BLAST executable and databases provided by NCBI, with a replica of the NIH's interface - providing an alternative to the US gov service that's less congested, faster & more reliable

I'm thinking of organising a meeting on endogenous viral elements (RNA, DNA and retroviral) - if you'd potentially be interested, please fill out the form here - forms.gle/wrCiWMw4yXZe... - so I can gauge interest. Please RT or share with anyone maybe interested! 🧪🧬🖥️🦠 #virology #bioinformatics

Time to present the work on Tasmanian devil chuvirus at @ausvirologysoc.bsky.social 2024 today during the Science bites session !

I’m so excited to finally have this work published. Fantastic work from @julienmelade.bsky.social culturing a virus identified through metagenomic virus discovery methods

👋 We're excited about connecting with our community on Bluesky go.bsky.app/82r1ofL
