Thank you @JanSlapeta for ruining my rest for a few days while I hid my thesis submission 🤫🤭😎😴. I cannot thank you enough and the rest of the USYD SSVS academics - for everyone’s continual support! Been a blast!

@NyadolNyuon for all the horrid comments, pls know there is someone like me who will deeply miss your brilliance and dedication to Australia. You will be missed. Australia is not welcoming and you are right to criticise
Congrats @NRL , went to check if there are any women’s game on earlier today - didn’t see it front and centre as it always is on the day of a men’s game. Found out by accident there is a game today - so why not advertise it? NRLW should be subsidised until it gets a bigger follow

Anyone accusing a refugee of war crimes is undermining the Australian screening system and encouraging radicalism. Maybe we should just welcome White South Africans who for years committed historic war crimes?

Waking up to posts on a thread I am blocked from (for calling out depraved views against women) is such fun. Twitter has come to show me how truely ashamed of being a ‘man’ I should be. Go ahead ‘men’ keep on commenting - only proving my point!

Thank you so much posting the clip… just watched the forum to watch Barnaby do triple summersaults over their own policy. I ended up crying multiple times at all the beautiful speeches by strong women!
Barnaby Joyce was a total mess last night, completely unable to cost One Nation’s extreme migration policy. When pressed, says they bypassed the PBO because voters are “tired” of facts.🤦♂️ Absolute policy amateur hour. #auspol

Two days ago I had my ‘exit seminar’ where I got to wrap up the past few years of research. Rudy my maremma stole the show… and of course being a vet faculty candidate was the subject of 99% of Qs! Thank you for everything @JanSlapeta

Very proud of my first sole author paper - lactic acidosis in the American alligator 🐊 - simulations for the treatment of lactate build up in alligators. Hopefully the work serves as a platform for clinical studies in crocodilians #preprint #herps ecoevorxiv.org/repository/vi…

Josephine came in via a vet from a vehicle collision, she’s still in pain after a hit to the head but is settling in nicely. She just shows that all animals, dangerous and or large, deserve respect and care! Using a calm approach, she is not defensive! Can’t wait for her release!

‼️🚨 Human hookworms share universal mutations for causal benzimidazole resistance, much like in dogs… but what does this mean? It means that these previously detected drug resistant mutations are now approaching outbreaks of clinical resistance 🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Our lab previously identified that there is a threshold of ~ 75% of the population containing mutants to observed clinical resistance (lack of hook development), but until now there was no causative studies on these mutations in human hooks 🧵 sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

This was a hated snake described to me only with expletives but she is more than that, she is a smart inquisitive python carrying suffering from all her past injuries which are sketchy at best! She is perfect with me!

This has to stop!
Harrowing.
At least 100 children are reported killed or injured every day in #Gaza, since the strikes resumed (on 18 March) according to @UNICEF
Young lives cut short in a war not of children’s making.
Since the war began 1.5 years ago, 15,000 children were reportedly killed.
The ceasefire at the beginning of the year gave Gaza’s children a chance to survive & be children.
The resumption of the war is again robbing them of their childhood. The war has turned Gaza into a “no land” for children.
This is a stain on our common humanity.
Nothing justifies the killing of children wherever they are.
Resume the #ceasefirenow

You know what? This week has been incredibly tough, most of all has been the minimisation of everything going on by my own team. I am lucky to have those who support me like @JanSlapeta 🧵

🧬 Highest level of intraspecific genome size seen by you or a colleague? Background: WGS of a novel hookworm, significant variation among 2 worms from same host 🤔💭 #genomics, #genetics, #evolution, #parasitology
