🇦🇺 should be doing everything we can to attract & retain the next generation of ppl with big ideas.

PHD students shouldn’t have to live in poverty to complete their study.

⬆️ the stipend was recommended by the Universities Accord - govt should get on with it.

Alex loves doing her PhD, but says she's earning under the minimum wage

Alexandra Paton, who researches how to manage feral cat populations, says her PhD is important for Australia's wildlife but her income is lower than what she earned as a teenager at Macca's.

Some INCREDIBLE photos taken by Mountain and Wave Films documenting a trip to the Flower Garden Banks in an attempt to capture some sharks for a trophic ecology study. This project would not have been possible without the funding provided by the @saveourseasfoundation

Starting my new year off right with my supervisor @simonjpierce.bsky.social sending me this awesome pic of me from our winter surveys at Flat Rock.

Looking forward to diving again this year as we continue our work with critically endangered grey nurse sharks!

Hope to see many of you underwater 🤞🏼

Let’s be honest. Science blogs, while fun and informative, generally don’t appeal to a non-scientific audience (even if they’re the target demographic).

What if we use pretty pictures and I just tell you everything you would like to know about my topic of research?

Save Our Seas Foundation @saveourseas.bsky.social · Dec 17

Can visual storytelling transform how we connect audiences to science? Through video, Brett Sweezey is showcasing dried blood spot analysis, a novel, non-invasive method to study sharks. By blending science with visuals he aims to inspire understanding. More below.
