Quite happy with how this 3D printed catchment model turned out using topographic maps! I wanted to make something hands on and interactive for exploring catchments with my students. Still experimenting with different designs and colour schemes...

Wow - that's a lot of water those ditches are draining

Thanks Mike! As always, it's great working with you

Yes! Mandatory fieldwork as baptism by fire (that's what my honours and PhD felt like)

Very timely read. A lot of these arguments apply to field biogeochemical research. My takeaway is conceptual understanding trumps fancy statistical modelling!

Excited to see our piece advocating for embracing (or at least acknowledging) artificial aquatic ecosystems published! Indefatigable leadership from @jackiewebb.bsky.social to transform our casual conference chats to this powerful (imho) piece. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Thanks Naomi for the plug! If only more of our chats can be transformed into papers 😅. I couldn't have done this without your energy.

#ASLOSIL26 participants with an interest in artificial aquatic ecosystems I invite you to check out my virtual talk in the AV001 session on Friday. Exploring the why and how these underrepresented systems can/should be better integrated into freshwater science. Abstract details: lnkd.in/gtTferHj

Just finished my first review of ARC grants as a detailed assessor. Feeling inadequate is an understatement 😅 - where/what/how do academics find the time to secure tens of millions of $ in grants?! Also, female representation = appalling. We need to do better when it comes to high stake grants.

I have an exciting opportunity for a PhD student to work with me on my DECRA project at UniSQ: Artificial aquatic ecosystems – sources or sinks of nitrous oxide? Currently only open to Australian residents. Learn more here: www.unisq.edu.au/scholarships... #UniSQResearch

If you want another tactic, highlight/write in different colour the first second and third priorities. Sometimes I have a couple papers under first priority category but I find it does reduce the overwhelm.

Jackie Webb @jackiewebb.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

I know the one. Checked it the other day to see if I could report it as under review yet.

Sorry to hear Teresa. You are such a brilliant ECR. The path is brutal at times but I'm sure you'll get there!

New publication in JGR: Biogeosciences on deep vs surface water CH4 dynamics in dugouts lead by amazing PhD student, Ryan Rimas! We found that a wetter year caused more CH4 to accumulate in the hypolimnion, but this did not result in a significant change in surface water CH4.

New perspective piece on ditch greenhouse gas research I had the pleasure to collaborate on. Key research priorities are provided. Not surprisingly, many studies neglect to include N2O. There is still much work to be done in this space and I'm looking forward to the next era of ditch research!

Thanks, Diego - that means a lot!

Overall, I’m feeling very celebrated - When outcomes were announced two weeks ago, I came home to a wonderful show of celebration by little family 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 . And thank you to all those that have reached out, near and far. Feeling very grateful after a big year. More to come. 3/3

This work builds on from years of targeted research, new findings, collaborations, and challenges navigating the pathway of a first-in-family, researcher and mother in STEM. My interest in aquatic research started when I was quite young and it’s been a challenging journey to stay in academia. 2/3
