A year in the life of Ethan, the sub-adult Tasmanian #wedgetailedeagle, squished into a 30-second animation.
We started studying Ethan December 2017. Since then he has traveled over 15,000 km!

Have you ever seen a spider brain? Now you have!
@LizyLowe from @MQBiology is studying how brain size of spiders differs between urban and rural populations. Listen to Lizzy talk about this work at #ESAus20 – register at esa2020.org.au
