Excellent work from @CMR_QUT PhD student @kimnguyenphuoc, who completed an internship with the communications team at the Office of the Queensland Chief Scientist. Hear about her internship experience here: lnkd.in/gBjMasuM

Hmm, looks like some of these postcards for #DevMeeting23 got lost in the mail. Better late than never, right? Thanks @mvargam for introducing me to paradise fish and Emily Dong for sharing her stories about mourning gecko retinal development! thenode.biologists.com/uncon…

Science grad students speaking on the Hill about how current funding levels are insufficient. Many have thought about dropping out because they just couldn’t afford to live on what they were making. #SupportOurScience

Why lay in the leaves when there’s a perfectly awkward crevice available🦎🥚 #Geckos #Herpetology
Hello #SciTwitter! I’m a PhD Candidate at @UofTCellSysBiol studying eye evolution in snakes and lizards. Hoping to connect with more folks exploring the world of #developmentalbiology and #evolution in #reptiles!

In BC, two First Nations implemented a caribou conservation program unlike anything else on the planet. The result: They ended up tripling the size of their local caribou population - a rare good news story for these iconic animals. cbc.ca/1.6413550
