200 miles northwest of Sydney, McGraths Flat's rusted rocks are brimming with insects and spiders—traces of an ancient jungle. Scientists are using this trove of remarkable fossils to reconstruct a lost ecosystem. My debut for @nytimes on a #FossilFriday nytimes.com/2022/01/07/scien…

Fossils of a Prehistoric Rainforest Hide in Australia’s Rusted Rocks (Published 2022)

The find suggests overlooked rocks across the continent may contain more fossilized surprises.

Fossils of giant cicadas, wasps, trapdoor spiders, fish, even a 🪶 have been discovered at a new site by scientists from @austmus, @UNSW Science and @UniCanberra. The NSW site contains superb examples of fossilised plants and animals from 11 to 16 million years ago. 📷M Frese

We each have our own reasons for getting vaccinated, from protecting our friends to giving Mum a big hug. It's been a long ride, but we're almost there. We're calling on our community to get vaccinated as soon as you can. #LetsDoThisUNSW 💪

Hands up if you’ve ever felt judged, or stared at, while eating out in public. "Body shaming, discrimination and stigmatisation often has real effects on people's lives,” says @SPRC_UNSW Professor @DALupton. newsroom.unsw.edu.au/news/so…

While the #COVID19 pandemic is weighing heavily on everyone’s mental health, people from #refugee backgrounds may be uniquely affected, owing to their past traumatic experiences. @BelLiddell @A_Nickerson36 & I discuss our current research, and what governments can do to help.

So a bunch of really big media outlets very, very catastrophically botched their coverage of the #IPCC report today hey (it is fossil fuel propaganda and an outright lie to state that climate change "cannot be stopped". Burning fossil fuels causes it, not doing that stops it)
