Get off Canva and immediately implement complete sanctions, cease all weapons trade, expell the ambassador and beg for forgiveness

#BREAKING: More than 350 academics and professional staff have signed an open letter in support of students at the pro-Palestine encampments
"We reject the characterisation of these peaceful and urgent student-led protests and encampments as antisemitic"

Recent work in Aotearoa (NZ) has provoked dialogue across Māori hapū and iwi and with other Indigenous peoples around the world about Indigenous perspectives on Antarctica.

New paper in press @J_Exp_Biol - we discussed how a focus on means in experimental biology could constrain the scope of inquiry. We showed how quantile regression (QR) can be a useful statistical tool for exploring this. 1/7

In a real dataset, LSR showed DNA damage from UV light in tadpoles decreases at higher temperature (on average). QR revealed that this relationship did not hold true for tadpoles experiencing the highest (more lethal) levels of DNA damage, raising interesting questions. 6/7
ALT The effect of exposure temperature on the accumulation of DNA damage in amphibian larvae following an acute high UV exposure. A) plots raw data (points), box plots and violin plots for each nominal level of exposure temperature. Lines are quantile regressions fitted for the 10 to 90th percentile in 10 percent increments, with the 0 and 100th quantile regression lines labelled. Solid lines represent slopes that were significantly different from 0 whereas dashed lines were not. B) plots these slopes for each quantile regression with bootstrapped 95% confidence intervals.

Blackfullas have stood with Palestinians for decades. This work is a continuation of our anti-genocidal activism including when we stood against the oppression of Jewish mob in 1938. When everyone else has lacked a moral compass and fortitude we have been clear eyed.

Had a bit of a yarn about @implexidens and I (and others at UQ) trying to shift how science institutions approach ecological field teaching on Aboriginal lands. Thanks @drkatelynbarney, Prof Tracey!

#UQ's @CoenHird has found tadpoles in colder environments can use a previously unknown mechanism to mitigate UV damage 🐸🌞❄️

New research has found that tadpoles from one group of amphibians are surprisingly good at reducing damage from UV radiation. smpl.is/8kswk

Any mob with connection to sugarbag bees and their honey, especially kinship connection - consider responding to FSANZ call for comment (by 17 Jan) to permit the sale of honey produced by Australian stingless bees 1/5

Once the commercial value of Indigenous foods grows, cultural values often erode. This is evident throughout much of the bushfoods industry where Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP) is not respected 4/5
