Our PhD opportunity is still open. A match-funded project with @chesterzoo.bsky.social, where the student will also be a Conservation Scholar. An exciting interdisciplinary project that can be tailored to the student. Even the pigeons are interested in our LiDAR scanner!

Exciting position at The School of Natural Sciences at Macquarie University.
We are looking for an Associate Lecturer in Plant Ecology.
A great opportunity to teach, mentor students and contribute to plant ecology research on the Wallumattagal Campus in Sydney.
Is this the hack to get the council to fix potholes?

Picture of a Trolly loaded with fossils and bones sat outside the entrance to a huge mall
Picture of one of our tables, full of mammal bones and dinosaur casts to talk about comparative anatomy. In the background is a a Caffè Nero
Our other table with fossils and a biomolecule activity on. We also have a cool new timeline and have been led a cute dinosaur friend
ICAL are ON TOUR!
We’re taking part in FunLabs at the Trafford Centre all weekend, chatting fossils, biomolecules and bones with anyone who comes by.
Big thanks to the @thepalass.bsky.social engagement grant for giving us the funds to improve our resources (and buy a trolly which is awesome!) 🙌

"Two charismatic marsupial species that had been thought extinct for 6,000 years are alive in rainforest in remote West Papua."
Oh yeah this is super cool as both the pygmy long-fingered possum and ring-tailed glider were previously only known from fossils 🤯🧪🐀

"For the boys in the club, the arrangement worked to their benefit. Epstein donated millions of dollars to their research, hosted them at networking dinners at his home, invited them to visit his island or his ranch in Santa Fe, and connected them to potential funders to further their work."

Endozoochory is my favourite hyper specific science-y term. I have never had a need to use it but it is stuck in my head anyway.

Corona UV signals observed under a thunderstorm on 27 June 2024. (a) Approximate location of all 859 corona UV signals observed during the ∼1.5-hr observation period on a sweetgum tree. Each corona UV signal is colored by the number of total isotropic UV photons between 255 and 273 nm emitted by the corona discharge, as estimated from the illuminated pixels observed in that frame. The boxes depict the Corona Observing Telescope System (COTS) UV camera field of view, and the colors indicate the observation time for the branch within each box. Panel (b) as in (a), but for all 93 corona UV signals observed during the ∼20-min observation period on a loblolly pine tree. Locations of boxes and corona UV signals are only approximate because the wind blew the branches in and out of the COTS field of view. Note a corona UV signal is defined as a contiguous bundle of several illuminated pixels.
Coronae glow on the tips of spruce needles, induced by charged metal plates in a laboratory. These weak electric discharges subtly singe the tips of leaves and needles, and new observations indicate they may occur ubiquitously across treetops under thunderstorms. Credit: William Brune
During thunderstorms, electric discharges in the air cause trees to glow with an ultraviolet aura. You can't see it with your eyes, but researchers have finally managed to measure it & recreate it in the lab. 🧪🔭

If humans evolved from monkey, why monkeys do not turn into humans now? Currently, they don't, but in the past there were more experiments which lead to the convergent bipedalism in the monkey clade besides hominids. Plio-Pleistocene was the generator time.
