We can achieve 100% renewable energy in Australia & also protect threatened species impacted by wind and solar developments with only 2-3% increase in electricity bills compared to if we didn't consider threatened species. #iccb2025 great talk by A Rogers

🧪🔬🐗 Our latest research on Feral pigs and social network analysis. We found that females have higher contact rates and males are a key connector between different groups.

Summer and sex raise feral pig disease risk

Research from UQ has found the sex of feral pigs and seasonal conditions are likely to intensify potential disease outbreaks in pig populations.

New research! 🧪Did the 2020 lockdown change Ross River virus spread in Brisbane? 🤔 Our study suggests it did!
The peak in cases happened later and people spent more time in green spaces, perhaps increasing mosquito exposure🦟🌳
