We all love books, right? One of my career highlights was co-authoring A Guide to the Creatures in Your Neighbourhood. So many people have told me how much they’ve enjoyed the fun facts and quirky writing, all with the aim of increasing nature connection urbanfieldnaturalist.org/boo…

If you’ve ever wondered how a bettong curls its tail to start carrying a new bundle of bedding… wonder no more 🙂 This friendly bettong gave a nice demo for the #CameraTrap #WildOz #MammalWatching #Tasmania #lutruwita

Fewer than half of young Indigenous people go on to uni after high school across Australia. Woolworths Group is investing in an initiative aimed at improving that statistic, a national First Nations residential college to be built at UTS. Via @nit_times: bddy.me/3Z8cGqN

Look what came in the mail! Terrific range of facts, perspectives and opinions about the thylacine in this new book edited by @Athedeism and Gareth Linnard. Spoiler for p168: @sydneyrats and I are still adamant that de-extinction is a bad idea for conservation.
