Researchers have put 1080 baiting to the test, with field cameras showing 88 per cent of bait interactions were with non-target, native, species.

Big thanks to @euanritchie.bsky.social for drawing my attention to this on bsky!

Ready for another week of resin? Resins are defensive compounds, but some bark beetles use the smell of resin from damaged trees to locate their next home. Ips (#Coleoptera; Scolytinae) tunnel under bark & can kill weakened trees. 📷: Ips typographus Gilles San Martin CCBYSA2 #resin #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

1/2 page on unconscious bias in pages and pages of assessor guidelines – is it really enough? 🤔

Proper training in form of a quiz for example and track completion may be a better standard.

Can’t we do better?

The 2026–27 Budget is a starting point for Australian science, but not a solution

Some boosts are welcome, but $1.5B in funding relies on major cuts elsewhere

OZ's R&D still sits well below the OECD average. 📉🔬 #ausscience #innovationAu
