Endangered lizards, at risk of extinction due to climate change, surviving at secret site abc.net.au/news/science/2024… via @ABCaustralia
@DrAliceClement is spreading the good word about the many applications of digital palaeontology at #ISELV17 @ISELV2024 with a healthy helping of lungfish examples in CT, microCT, diceCT, FEA, virtual museums, synchrotron and neutron tomography
My LAX-Montreal trip was actually a scenic flight of the Grand Canyon, Colorado River, Hoover Dam and Rocky Mountains 😍 ridiculous scenes out the window. I’m stoked to be headed to my 1st International Symposium on Early and Lower Vertebrates, can’t wait to meet the fishy folks!

Dr Gludhug Purnomo’s invited talk on human genetic research in Wallacea and Sahul showed how community engagement benefits both researchers and the local populations. Great to catch Gludi at the International Society for Biological and Environmental Repositories conference #ISBER – at Melbourne, Victoria
I got to marvel at Samorn the elephant this week, the last to live at Adelaide Zoo. She’s huge! Fumehood in the background for scale. She’s lost a bit of weight since the first time we met though 😂 thanks heaps to Anthony and the @VetAnatomyUofA crew for the visit 🐘
We celebrated our postgrad student seminar day last week 🎉 and reflected on the last 12 months. Overall I’ve had a great year and I hope 2023’s been good to you too.

FB memories reminded me my fellow nerds and I were in Naarm/Melbourne 8 years ago for a Buzz Aldrin lecture 🚀 visiting Naarm again this week for more nerdy activities 🤓

We’re celebrating earth science research today at @gessssouthaus, kicking off with Fraser Brown’s insights into the faunal diversity of the Eyre Peninsula through time via the fossil record @FlindersPalaeo

My evening was filled with tales of the plumage of flightless birds, the surprising fur of diprotodons, and the fate of marsupial mothers and their pouch young. Thanks to @DiprotoRon and Trevor Worthy, and the Field Geology Society of SA for hosting 🦘🦴🐾

What a treat to have @200micron in town for the annual Tate lecture, talking about geoscience education, outreach, establishing working relationships with traditional owners and of course the Cambrian’s small shelly fossils 🐚 @RoySocSA #WomenInSTEM
What a way to end the day! Plenary speaker @aNATomy_Lab introduced the #ICVM2023 delegates to a bunch of locals 🦘🐨 and I really loved her wonderfully personalised acknowledgement of country ❤️🖤💛

A highlight of today’s #ICVM2023 was @AndrewIwaniuk’s presentation on harnessing species with historical artificial selection to study changes in brain morphology in relation to function and behaviour 🧠
A highlight of this morning’s #ICVM2023 was @DrAliceClement showcasing her wide variety of work, from fossil stem-tetrapod fishes to comparative work on living species as analogues, and making data accessible for all through @VAMP_Palaeo 🐠 🧠
