#GreenLab Pro-Tip: • Sometimes, plastic is unavoidable in the lab. But you can still minimize its impact by choosing the smallest option available. Smaller pipets, tubes, and containers mean less waste. 🗑️ #sustainableresearch

The devastating effects of the #bushfires raging in Victoria are being keenly felt around The Little Desert and Gariwerd (Grampians) National Parks—where an area of 150,000 hectares (more than double the size of Singapore) is being razed. Emeritus Prof Michael Clarke says these unique ecosystems provide an essential refuge for many threatened species. sbs.com.au/news/podcast-epis…

Earlier this year, I received news that fake peer reviews were allegedly being submitted impersonating me and approximately six others I shared my story with @ScienceMagazine to, hopefully, reduce the chance of this kind of breach happening again science.org/content/article/…

‘It felt very icky’: This scientist’s name was used to write fake peer reviews

Elsevier retracts dozens of journal articles that were published based on “fictitious” reviews

Native banksias were long thought to be pollinated by honeyeater birds & small mammals. But a team of scientists, led by La Trobe PhD candidate @StanislawWawrz2, has found the first evidence for an Australian plant being primarily pollinated by rodents! latrobe.edu.au/news/articles…

This colony, ffs. "...environmentally destructive projects like fracking, land clearing & water extraction for cotton streamlined, fast-tracked and actually exempted from environmental laws altogether." - @kirsty_howey abc.net.au/news/2024-10-25/e… #COP16 #NatureNotSoPositive

Leaked Northern Territory government paper proposes 'unprecedented' power to sidestep environmental...

A leaked paper tabled in parliament by the opposition sets out the government's plan to establish a Territory Coordinator who could "step in" and take over the assessment process for major projects.
