I am excited to announce my recently-submitted preprint focused on historical patterns of global natural history museum collections growth/activity based on zoological data from @GBIF. doi.org/10.1101/2023.09.29.5… 1/

Diminishing growth of zoological natural history collections threatens future research in the life sciences and beyond biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… #bioRxiv

A great article aimed for kids about the important work we're doing @museumsvictoria to help Victorian Grassland Earless Dragons. Rediscovered after more than 50 years. Featuring a wonderful pic of @joanna_sumner99 kidsnews.com.au/animals/one-…

Is this the first Australian blind snake on a journal cover? Great paper from @PutterT and great photo from @StephenZozaya. Journal of Biogeography. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Australia's freshwater turtle fauna is at risk. Habitat fragmentation, invasive predators, and more pose threats. Action is needed: EPBC Act listing, Indigenous Knowledge, and engagement. #Conservation #AustralEcology @ardynasios @EcolSocAus @WileyEcolEvol bit.ly/3LbI4Qt

Great time at PAG Australia in Perth. Highlight was hearing Rich Edwards present on the latest genome assembly of the dingo. Not embedded in the domestic dog lineage but a basal back there with China Girl and likely the New Guinea singing dog. Even the dingo seems interested!!

See our latest preprint on sex chromosome dosage compensation in a sex reversing skink! Question: Should XX males be the same as XX females or XY males... Years ago we all put our predictions in, none of us got it right! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Did you know that my team @CSIRO built a time machine? Well... we did! An epigenetic time machine. New @biorxivpreprint describing century-old signatures of gene-regulation. I reckon the @epigenetichulk might be interested in this one? #MuseumGenomics. Link in thread:

A century of species response data is sitting at our fingertips preserved in🫙#museum specimens around the world. My new work w/ @HolleleyClare @mralexandervir @c_frere & co demonstrates #chromatin profiling in specimens as old as 1905! bit.ly/43YRRjb @CSIRO @AEpiA

My mad music-science project is complete, my dream has come true. Our performance of Origins – of the Universe, of Life, of Species, of Humanity on Tuesday received a standing ovation from the sell-out crowd at the Melbourne Recital Centre.
