“These deaths are incomprehensible, given there is environmental water sitting in the dam. This could save the turtles, but WaterNSW is just not allowing its release," - Prof Deb Bower www.theguardian.com/environment/... Story by @lisacox.bsky.social
‘Incomprehensible’: birds flee and hundreds of turtles left to die after government cuts water to NSW wetlands
Frogs and sheep in the Gwydir wetlands near Moree have also been bogged after WaterNSW stopped environmental flows, researchers say

I love Northern Australia, and it breaks my heart what's happening and is planned for this region. More people need to know why this place is so special and what's at risk, so I wrote about it. My first article for @australiainstitute.org.au's The Point. thepoint.com.au/opinions/251...
Northern Australia is extraordinary, and it’s under severe threat
Right now, this region, is under siege, in large part due to insatiable corporate and government desires to ‘develop’ the North.

Dropping in to post a fangirl update about the fab @scidocmartin.bsky.social who recently presented for #DeakinRDA about 'Telling the story of your research'. An excellent intro to research comms + the crucial deliberations that are involved. So much wisdom, never enough time. Thanks, Jen. 🤩
It’s a great day for it! With my favourite human, @scidocmartin.bsky.social. If you want a brighter, kinder, safer future based on evidence and the advice of experts vote Greens, Teals and sensible Independents. 🗳️ #AusVotes25

Recording Let’s Talk Scicomm with Michael has been one of my most rewarding and fulfilling projects over the last three years. For our 100th episode we had a lot of fun asking each other all the rapid fire questions we’ve asked our guests over the past 13 seasons. We hope you’ll enjoy our chat 💙
If you were an icecream, what flavour would you be? This is just one of the hard-hitting questions @michael-wheeler.bsky.social & @scidocmartin.bsky.social had fun answering in our 100th episode 😂 Huge thanks to all our fabulous listeners for your support 🙏💙 Please listen & share pod.fo/e/292e8b

When you're done with that episode, have a scroll through the other 98 eps @scidocmartin.bsky.social and Michael have put together. The show is an incredible resource for those wanting to communicate clearly and effectively ♥️💙
I’m proud we’ve made it to episode 99 💙 And I’m so grateful to work with this incredible team who candidly shared their best and worst career experiences. 🤩🤩 If you’re interested in what we’ve learned over a combined nearly 100 years of communicating about science, please listen pod.fo/e/28ebff
Wooohooooo 🥳🥳 What better way to celebrate our 99th episode than getting the whole team together to chat about our #scicomm highs and lows: when things went well, when they went badly & most importantly, what we learned along the way! 👉👉 We'd love you to listen and share: pod.fo/e/28ebff
