A different kind of #hack event
#DataScience & #wildfire
Urgency of wildfire study in Aus is increasing. Vols of data available to us. We need new approaches, new connections, new tools. We need you!
Join us – MCDS & Flare Wildfire Research – Nov 8 -10

hi! I'm joining @UniMelb School of Agriculture, Food and Ecosystem Sciences on the @qaecology team as a tenure-track lecturer Sept 1!
I am so so so grateful for everyone who helped me and believed in me along the way. Please someone take my wrong-voltage small appliances!!!!

Uping your sci-comms and media skills could help you have a bigger conservation impact. Check out the great 'How to communicate your science' resources by @EcolSocAus
Have you ever wondered how to connect with journalists? In this episode of our #SciComm video series, @Jaana_Dielen from @Biodivcouncil shares her advice on how to make engaging with the media as smooth as possible.

Today I started a new job, Prof in Conservation Biology at the University of Melbourne @SciMelb . Exciting times! Thank you @DeakinSEBE esp @DeakinCIE, and many wonderful colleagues there for for 8 great years
We currently have an exciting #PhD project available focused on dealing with missing data and uncertainty in mechanistic niche models of species distributions.
The student would be based in QAECO (qaeco.com/), a dynamic, friendly, and diverse group at @UniMelb

Yes I graduated after many years balancing research and parenting babies/young children. Could not have done it without the support of family and these legends, my supervisors @YungEnChee1 and @BrenWintle @qaecology. I was extremely lucky

Had a beautiful day celebrating both of our achievements 🎉 shout out to @qaecology @r_tingley and @andrewrweeks for an amazing PhD journey and @sarahmccg @Erica_Marshall1 @KateLSenior for your friendship and support! @SciMelb @BioSci_UniMelb
Pretty special to graduate with my best friend and twin yesterday @EcoEmcg 👯♀️🎓 We started our PhDs on the same day so it was a wonderful to complete this journey together. #womeninSTEMM @UniMelb @SciMelb

🧵1/5 Our team welcomes the Australian Government's response to Graeme Samuel's scathing 2020 review of our Federal environmental laws. But the key to the success of the reforms announced will be in the detail. We’re keen to get the conversation going.

Yesterday I got my feet wet for an excellent reason. After years of careful design, planning and collaboration, our floating wetlands finally exist! Can't wait to see the wildlife that take advantage. Partners: @cityofmelbourne + Wetland Ecological Treatment Systems + @SciMelb

Protecting our biodiversity is up to all of us.
We’re working with experts, communities, Traditional Owners, farmers, government and industries to solve Australia’s biodiversity crisis. And that includes you.
