@MSCA research fellow studying the ecological impacts of pharmaceutical pollution in aquatic systems @SLUwildresearch. Here for science, stats and NBA tweets
Please repost. Call for abstracts for the much anticipated International Society for Behavioral Ecology Congress in Melbourne, Australia, is now open. Hop to it people and see you in Oz in 2024!
I am excited to announce that I have been awarded a 4-year FORMAS ECR mobility grant to investigate the potential impacts of antibiotic pollution on the gut microbiome of fish, and consequences for their health and behaviour @FormasForsk @SLUwildresearch
It's been an awesome start to #SETACDublin! Great science as always, and fantastic to catch up with old friends! 🐟🌱🧪 @SETAC_world @SLUwildresearch @mrmic1#ecotoxicology#science
Exposure to pharmaceutical pollution leads to complex pathogen genotype-by-environment interactions in its influence of disease dynamics. New @MonashBiol PhD paper by @LCAulsebrook (co-supervised with @mattd_hall):

What are your favorite blog posts on causal inference?
To get the ball rolling, McElreath has a nice 3-part series, starting here: elevanth.org/blog/2021/06/15…
Ugh. Freshwater fish have very high levels of ‘forever chemicals’ throughout the U.S.
“These test results are breathtaking... eating one bass is equivalent to drinking PFOS-tainted water for a month.”

It's supposed to be a "Graphical Syllabus," but every time I say it in my head it's a "Graphical Abstract."
If science articles can have graphical abstracts, why not a science course? #GraphicalSyllabus#AcademicTwitter
ALT Graphical Abstract of BIO112-102 General Biology 2. Includes sections with general information (instructor contact, class meeting times), a table showing multiple grading schemes and how the final grade is calculated, four boxes with brief information about four main assignments, a circle labeled "Lab" with 4 connecting circles that each have a brief description of an activity that will occur in lab, a section called "Other Policies" that includes information about the textbook and how late work is handled, and a linear timeline that includes important dates and outlines the major units of the course.
Working through Chapter 6 of @rlmcelreath's 'Statistical Rethinking'. If you are doing research and haven't thought about collider bias before...time to start!
Super suprised 😱 to find out before the New Year that I got awarded a @MSCActions European fellowhip after sitting on the reserve list for 9 months. Feeling extremely lucky. This was my 3rd (& final) attempt at the fellowship. It really is a crapshoot
Amazing and super helpful guide by @andrewheiss outlining different ways to calculate posterior predictions and average marginal effects from mixed-effects (multilevel) models in R. #rstats#brms#Bayesianandrewheiss.com/blog/2021/11…
Excited to see this paper out in @NatureComms . We found that filtering during the invasion process favours certain behavioural phenotypes (both at the among and within-individual level). Product of many years of work and fieldwork in 🇦🇺🇺🇸🇳🇿.
1/4 🧵Does the invasion process favour extroverts? Our new @NatureComms paper shows how selective filtering of behavioural traits can mediate the success of alien species.

Very excited that my first PhD chapter (and first first-author paper) has been published in #aquatictoxicology 👨🔬 We investigated the impacts of a common agricultural pollutant on an Australian tadpole species 🐸🐮
