Special thanks to sunreef Mooloolaba who have been incredibly supportive with this particular project over the last year as well! If you're after a dive, reach out and we may be conducting research on the same boat in the coming months!

I am so grateful to receive this support for my PhD and would like to thank Dr. Bill Holsworth and @ecolsocaus.bsky.social for making this research possible! I can't wait to see what additional insights we gain over the next 12 months and look forward to sharing them with you.

This endowment will allow me to continue developing our understanding of how grey nurse sharks (𝘊𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘢𝘶𝘳𝘶𝘴) utilise critical habitats outside of the current protected area network. We are leveraging acoustic telemetry and photo-ID to understand residency and connectivity between sites.

I am excited to announce that a couple of days ago I was awarded a second Holsworth Wildlife Research Endowment through the Ecological Society of Australia (@ecolsocaus.bsky.social)! 📸: @simonjpierce.bsky.social

That they are! And the crew at Wolf Rock Dive are awesome at providing a great experience if you want to get in the water with them!

@finsinframe.bsky.social at #SI2026 Climate change is impacting shark physiology and shifting their distributions. What does that mean for access to critical reproductive habitat? Wolf Rock is the only known sand tiger shark aggregation site in Australia. They spend most of their gestation there

Sharks and rays regularly cross international boundaries, making coordinated conservation crucial. At the GCFI meeting, Dave Portnoy and Kelly Kingon presented tools to address elasmobranch conservation challenges across the Caribbean. saveourseas.com/update/regio...

🇦🇺 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. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01...

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?
