Museum collections provide some of the most important data to help us understand and predict what is happening under a changing climate. However, our collections pre-date electronic databases by hundreds of years so how do we know what we have?

It's the first ever #WorldSeagrassDay! Seagrasses are critical in protecting our coastline and slowing down climate change by storing Blue Carbon. We've already lost 30% of the world's seagrass meadows, but Mike van Keulen is doing his bit to stem the destruction. #NotKelp

Scientists - does the thought of talking about your work to journalists or the general public make you weak in the knees? If you're in the ACT join our #EMCR Professional Development Day on the 18th of February 2023. #SciComm asc.asn.au/events/asc2023/20…

The threatened species bake-off in Australia features many stunning creations but it also reveals some issues with our approach to conservation and threatened species management... notably neglected fish, invisible plants and forgotten invertebrates theconversation.com/enough-w…

Enough with the koala cakes – the government’s annual Threatened Species Bake Off seriously...

Our research looked at data from the government’s annual baking competition. Upon close analysis, we find a dangerous lack of diversity and biases towards cute, cuddly mammals.
