⚠️ My first paper has been published! ⚠️
My honours work using #DNA to identify #shark species sold as flake in fish&chip shops in #SouthAustralia
We are hoping that our research will provide insight 👀 about how umbrella terms ☂️ can ‘take-away’ consumers choice 🍽️

To practice my markdown/html skills, I've published a brief intro tutorial on my new website for using bash command-line interfaces to analyse amplicon sequence data
Will use the new website to dump my code and side projects, so if you're interested in that stuff - stay tuned!

Wonderful to be there to celebrate @Jackson_Stock‘s PhD graduation this week, and to have a bunch of the lab group come and celebrate with us 💙🧑🏼🎓

🚨First paper from my PhD is out now!🚨 We modelled #bluecarbon soil stocks to discover what's driving the variability at a local scale, finding distance to #tidalcreek , #vegetationtype and #soiltexture most important 🌱🌏🌊

Awesome intl. collaboration on global lake microplastics out featuring my excellent lab mate @Tyler_N_Dornan and supervisor Justin Brookes. Great work! @UofA_SET @environmentinst
We have a new manuscript comparing microplastics pollution in lakes globally. The study have drawn quite some attention of the press😀

Wow!
The Australian Bureau of Meteorology has had both the most extreme and most accurate forecasts of the developing El Niño. But this forecast, just released, is so extreme it's hard to believe I'm seeing it.
3.0°C by October.
3.2°C by November.
Wow!

Over the moon to share news of our recently funded project - 'Toys for Turtles'. We will be running education programs on #plasticpollution in Indigenous communities in NE Arnhem Land, turning marine debris into useful resources!🐢

1) Umbrella terms conceal the sale of shark
2) Eliminating the major egg allergen ovomucoid
3) Diversity of fibers in common foods
4) Paper-based sensor to detect pesticides on apple & cabbage
5) Fiber discovery & gut health

Ready to go! Out diving at our #seagrass restoration site today - collecting baseline samples (before the restoration works start next month). Looks like it’s going to be a beautiful day to be on (and under) the water!

Flake News - when fish you're eating isn't what it says it is but has that distinct "endangered" flavour.
2 in 3 mislabeled, 1 in 5 = crit.end: narrow nosed smoothound from Sth America & school shark (probs Aussie waters)

It’s time to #GiveFlakeABreak! A recent study revealed that over two-thirds of fish sold as flake in South Australian chippies was not actually flake. Even worse, 21% of them were Critically Endangered species.
