Hi! I'm Ying, and I'm currently doing my PhD based at ANIC and ANU. I'm studying a group of leaf mining micro-moths (Gracillariidae), and over the next few years I'll be investigating their host plant usage and diversity!
More info at my website!

Who's still on Twitter?

I meant 2023 🤣. It'll likely be free for 2024 too though.
Membership is FREE for 2024, and is open globally.
I would encourage anyone interested in Australasian lepidoptera to apply, as you will be eligible to apply for grants, attend AGMs and receive the newsletter.
There will also be an in-person meeting in Canberra in 2023!

Announcing the launch of a new Australasian-based lepidoptera society, Moths and Butterflies of Australasia (MABA).
MABA is a not-for-profit organisation that aims to encourage interest in the scientific study, research and conservation of lepidoptera.

Really excited to have hosted @EcoEvo_ANU's first PhD invited seminar speaker @TanyaLatty yesterday and Wednesday. Such an excellent and engaging scientist! 🥹
Tanya even treated us to an exclusive talk on slime moulds at dinner, which we all loved.
Thanks for coming!!
An excellent (FREE!) NYT article by @margaretroach on one of the best modern leaf miner researchers, @CSEiseman! Without his books (Leafminers of North America AND Tracks and Signs of Insects) I wouldn't know half of what I know.
A must read. :)

I knew my moths were small AF, but today I actually found a paper stating that they are amongst the smallest in the world - fun!
Image is of Porphyrosela sp. (maybe a new species!) - can't wait to dissect it. 💀

Can't believe Walks and Talks is over for 2022. So happy to have been able to organise this, bigger and better than 2021. Thanks so much for the grant @nswk_ACT! :)
Thanks to everyone who joined and participated. Wouldn't have been able to do it without you all. ❤️❤️
Last Saturday (20th) we ran our final #ScienceWeek events at @ANBG.
At 11am we had a beetle talk 🪲by @lessrof2weevils and at 2pm we had a bird talk by @goaudreymp. 🐥
We also streamed the talks live on @Yiing's Instagram account!

I'm having so much fun organising these #ScienceWeek events.. it's so rewarding to talk science and research!
It was simultaneously exciting and terrifying to have 40+ people show up to a event ticketed for 25, but we had a great time regardless.
3 down, 2 to go.
Over the weekend we had our second day of Walks and Talks #ScienceWeek events, and no despite the cloudy weather we had an amazing turn out for both @rpodonnell_ 's orchid talk and @jehzim's reptile talk.

So proud of my fellow ANU PhD students, how talented are they? A Research School of Biology sweep by @IvanVin_ and @hj_whiterabbit.
I was so pleased to participate in the College of Science #3MT finals last week — and win the People’s Choice and Runner Up prizes!! Great work to @IvanVin_ for taking out the 🔝 prize ✨🎉 ANU finals here we come!

Is there a way to have IQ-Tree exclude characters from an analysis? For instance, I masked sections of my alignment in AliView and now it is in a NEXUS format.
Based on my preliminary trials it seems like IQ-Tree doesn't recognise that I have sections to exclude 1/2

Walks and Talks are back for 2022, funded by @nswk_ACT for National Science Week. These events were first funded by an @EcoEvo_ANU seed grant and I'm so glad I can make them bigger and better this year. New venue (@anbg) and two new speakers (@rpodonnell_ and @lessrof2weevils).🙌
Excited to announce that Walks and Talks is back for 2022! This year, organiser Ying Luo got a @Aus_ScienceWeek grant to run another series of events. This year there will be FIVE sessions, held at the Australian National Botanic Gardens (@ANBG).

Glad to be included in such an interesting ep.

A great turn out at our most recent "TE&E Time" talking tips for reviewing papers. Very timely as some of us PhD students had recently been asked to be a reviewer. Lovely to see so many faces. ❤️
@EcoEvo_ANU
Very cool to see TWO @EcoEvo_ANU students/alumni (@TobiasHayashi and @rpodonnell_) on this panel with @CostasGarden. Tonight 7pm. :)
Join us TODAY at 7 pm AEST for our second webinar in our Botanic Gardens Webinar series: The large and the small of plant adaptation and rarity.
