Just how small is a larval paralysis #tick? Extremely super tiny small. This baby lodged itself in skin line on my foot. The third image is taken with an iphone at max magnification: keep this in mind when checking for ticks! #parasite #entomology #macrophotography

When you agree to review for a journal and the editor didn’t blind the authors’ names… srsly? #Academia

Ever wondered what is going on inside an #AI computer vision model's "head"? Here's how my #facemask detector identifies #masked and unmasked faces. Built with #PyTorch, @ultralytics #YOLOv5, deployed on @huggingface huggingface.co/spaces/Gradio…

Banning abortions does not help anyone, it only hurts people, denying bodily autonomy and freedom, with no thought to the health or quality of life of mothers, children, or anyone involved. This decision is both callous & cruel.

It’s #wormageddon here at @Sydney_Uni as this veneration of ibises takes to the front lawn. If you see these wonderful birds in action near you we’d love your reports on the @BigCityBirds1 app.

Putting this together has been a massive team effort with the Sydney Informatics Hub @Sydney_Uni (can't thank Joel, @HenryLydecker and Elevn enough!). Thanks to @theGRDC for funding the project too.
Lots of work still ongoing, with more features and datasets to come.

Ticks make life hard for many of us – but as researchers in infectious diseases, we love being able to visualize them so closely! A fluorescent microscopic look into tick molecular components is a first step towards novel prevention strategies against Lyme disease!!

Despite the very low number of samples, an anti-tick immunity can be induced in wild ungulates under field conditions (and please don't ask about the nightmare of field work)

Will we ever get past the “return to normal” narrative? “Normal” was good for some people and sucked for many people. But why don’t we just take all this “back to normal” energy and just shoot for “better”?

#TSBakeOff @masterchefau edition? :0
It's #TSBakeOff time! This year's entry is a Mallee Striated #Grasswren. These beautiful #threatenedspecies are declining from drought, fire and habitat clearance.
The #cake base is a native spice gingerbread, with plumage created from a mix of sliced dried fruit and coconut.

Our Covid-safe attire and elaborate set-up has encouraged some curious members of the public to ask “are you performing surgery?!” Nope, just collecting #ticks :) @Sydney_Science @SydneySOLES

So long, and thanks for all the flights. I came to #Australia
on a 747; it is sad to say goodbye to @Qantas's last @Boeing 747. Comfortable, spacious, and smooth; it is no wonder these planes have been so popular with passengers for decades.

Spicy facts for a spicy tick! 🌶
Side note: It’s not actually spicy. Not that I would know. But please don’t eat the tick. Or any ticks. 😳

Cayenne tick (Amblyomma cajennense) are active year-round in tropical and sub-tropical areas of the Caribbean, Mexico, Southern Texas, and Florida. The Cayenne tick is known to transmit Rocky Mountain spotted fever and an equine piroplasmosis, called Theileria equi.

This not a joke, this is just a perfect example on why we need #diversity in science
If we want correct predictions, we need models based on ALL the data, not a very biased sample, as we said here besjournals.onlinelibrary.wi…
This is a fundamental problem in current science
