🦇 Two PhD positions available on our new ARC Discovery Grant: "From Diversity to Disease: Viral Ecology, Evolution and Persistence in Bats" The project will investigate how viral diversity evolves and persists, with a particular focus on recently discovered henipaviruses in Australian flying foxes.

Some pics from a super week of fieldwork, and finally some good rain after 6 weeks of hardly receiving a drop.

2 came back as a reject. I know it’s a part of the big process but what is everyone’s mindset that keeps you going in these situations?

Tasmania is a roadkill hotspot for animals, which draws #TasmanianDevils to the roads to scavenge. I think these are the only road signs I've seen with an animal's conservation status on. #Tasmania #MammalWatching #WildOz

A road in the bush, surrounded by trees. A sign at the road's edge has an illustration of a Tasmanian devil with "Endangered" written beneath it, and "40km/h
Slow down
Watch out"

Submitted 8 grants in 2 months… the deadlines were brutal, but hitting “submit” feels amazing. Nothing beats the reward of crossing the finish line after a huge team effort.

My first big grant application submitted! I feel so truly grateful for how supportive and helpful everyone involved was to guide me through such a huge and complex process!
