So excited for you @KatePlantPhys!! Incredibly well-deserved. Can't wait to frolic in the Swiss meadows together 🌷🌿🌻
In exciting news, I'll be joining @GrossiordCha & PERL @WSL_research @EPFL in July🇨🇭, then starting a Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowship @MSCActions with Jordi Martínez-Vilalta @CREAF_ecologia @UABBarcelona in Sept 2024 🇪🇸!
For now, I’m home, enjoying beautiful #Tasmania💚

I had the pleasure of listening to this talented woman in STEM last week! It was an excellent speech about the importance of inclusivity in scientific research... followed by fun power poses with more amazing researchers! #WomenInSTEM
Last week I spoke about my research journey as a #WomenInSTEM at the @UTAS_ school of #Naturalsciences recognition evening. I am very fortunate to have been so supported and encouraged, and am lucky to be surrounded by excellent women embarking on our PhD journey 🌿💚

Given the grim State of the Environment report released today by @tanya_plibersek, perhaps it's finally time to increase financial support for the people you need to fix these problems? PhD students in Aus earn below minimum wage to complete ~4 years of skilled work. Sound fair?
Yes Botanists are disappearing, perhaps if there was greater financial support in research, job security and early career opportunities people wouldn't have to choose between financial security or persuing a career in such a field.

Spiny boi checking out the @Tas_Land @austmountresfac site yesterday. He looked pleased with our progress.

The subalpine #grasslands of Tas have really come to life this week! This beauty is Montia australasica.
Thanks to @robw2690 and @hovendenlab for the ID!
A great paper by Bea that has just been published!! 🍅
Very excited that my paper on hydraulic traits in tomato with @MadelineCMurphy and @Brodribb_Lab has been published by @PlantCellEnvir. We found that fruit are prioritised through tough xylem in drought! Check out doi.org/10.1111/pce.14206 for more. @CoEPlantSuccess @UTAS_ 🍅🌿💧

Found a beautiful patch of Sprengelia incarnata whilst visiting our wild west coast. A true spring delight! 🌸
Feeling very thankful to have been awarded an @AusFloraFoundat research grant!
The funding will be used to understand how #extremeclimaticevents influence plant interactions in a threatened Tasmanian grassland and will contribute significantly to its #conservation ☀️🌾
Another glorious winter day spent setting up my #DroughtNet shelters at our @austmountresfac site, Silver Plains @Tas_Land @hovendenlab @Rachel_Ecology
Congratulations @matildajmbrown for being shortlisted for the @MethodsEcolEvol early career researcher prize!! You're a star ✨
