Hello BlueSky! (ie. my one follower @kateplantphys.bsky.social 🩵) After joining Twitter/X for my #PhD, I decided it was fitting for my last post over there to be the Dedication and Acknowledgements pages of my thesis. Soooo seems equally fitting to start my time here with the same to match! ✨

From psychology to anthropology, to disease ecology to epidemiology, Dr Emily has had a twisting, turning, exciting sort of career. Tune in to find out what these -ologies all mean, and hear about her research in connecting with nature and sustainable communities. #sustainability #health #nature

Happy (belated) UN International Day for Women and Girls in Science. Our team was privileged to celebrate young women/ femmes and their bright futures in STEMM. The reception was hosted by Her Excellency the Governor of Tasmania, on behalf of the Zonta Club of Hobart Inc. #womeninSTEMM

I played just a small part in this excellent paper led by ECR Félix de Tombeur: Anatomical and Trait Analyses Reveal a Silicon-Carbon Trade-Off in the Epidermis of Sedges (Plant, Cell Environ: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....)

My wonderful friend is looking for a PhD or job in threatened species/ conservation in Lutruwita/Tasmania! Please let her know if you know of any opportunities!! 🐾🦅🌳

Lovely idea for a thread! Thought I'd throw in some of my science art. Here’s a painting I did of the majestic Callitris rhomboidea, a member of the most drought resistant clade of trees, for the cover of Tree Physiology last year academic.oup.com/treephys/iss...

Enter the British Lichen Society's photo competition! The categories this year are: 'Close encounters' and 'Lichenscapes'. Two free entries per person. Full details: britishlichensociety.org.uk/the-society/...

The #SciComm starter pack is almost full. Make sure to revisit it as l’ve added lots of folk this week. Do share it and flag up if you’d like added. go.bsky.app/VJQzace

Ethiopian wolves have been seen feeding on nectar! 🐺 They are the first large carnivore documented doing this - and they may be acting as pollinators too 👇 bit.ly/3AQPsyJ 📷 Danielle Rubens

New faculty position in climate change ecology at UW-Madison, applications due in four days for full consideration. Come join us! jobs.wisc.edu/jobs/assista...

hey everyone! i made a list of some useful starter packs (primarily biology/earth sciences with a few bonus things thrown in) to share with friends who have joined bsky in the last week and thought it may be useful for some people here too! 🌍🧪 #SciSky #BioSky docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Two amazing jobs at Uni Bern. Assistent professorships in conservation biology and computational ecology. Bern is a wonderful place to live and work in! www.iee.unibe.ch/about_us/job...

Our new study out in @ScienceAdvances shows human presence in Tasmania at least 41,600 years ago, nearly 2000 years earlier than previously thought, and Aboriginal people burned and used wet forests. Link: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Amazing little snail at my front gate today!

Awkward, @tanyaplibersekmp.bsky.social. "...a lowest-cost approach to generating credits is unlikely to benefit biodiversity. It will drive projects to marginal areas that do not overlap the ranges of species threatened by habitat loss." theconversation.com/as-australia...

Hi if you’ve found me here! I’m a plant scientist who also loves art, scicomm and promoting diversity, equity and inclusion in STEMM! Still figuring out how Bluesky works and will try and mirror posts I make on X @KatePlantPhys 😄🍃💙
