Vermeer’s Girl With The Pearl Earring will be shown in Osaka, later this year, and the press conference was as Japanese as you’d expect #Vermeer

🌠 Meet Our Exec Committee for 2026 🌠 Yong is a DECRA fellow at the University of Western Australia working on the impact of sexual selection on life history traits and their trade-offs. One current focus is the physiological mechanisms mediating these effects, such as diet and oxidative stress 🥦

Escaping desk-bound duties by gallivanting in the Julimar State Forest for the Bioblitz last weekend! 🌧️ Although a bit soggy, it was great to see so many people joining for a chance to turn the forest into a national park!

Taking some time off 🏖️ working on research proposals and presentations by jumping back into #photography 📷 after abandoning it for a while 😆 Rainy days make for great pictures it seems! 🌧️
