A 25% reduction in methane emissions from Aust livestock is the exciting goal of a $19m research collab between UNE, @MeatLivestock Australia (MLA), @NSWDPI & @AngusAustralia. UNE’s Prof @JuliusVanderWer & Assoc. Prof. @SamClark_UNE will lead 2 projects: okt.to/KThFWg

Meat eater or not or maybe, farmer or city slicker. Take the survey to share your thoughts on how you perceive the welfare of Australian pasture based beef cattle. @CSIRO @ScienceAU #SuperstarsofSTEM @armidalecaro @AGBU_GENE
As part of an animal welfare benchmarking study, producers are encouraged to have their say on the quality of life of beef cattle raised on Australian pasture-based production systems. Take the survey here 👉 bit.ly/2BDtlNe #AusAg #AgChatOz

Something I wish I knew at start of my PhD: sitting destroys your body. Unless you're actively doing strength training and mobility exercises to combat this, you will suffer aches and pains due to shortened hip flexors, weak glutes and hamstrings which can lead to backpain, etc.
