This #InternationalWomensDay we’re showcasing the work of one of our scientists who is using cutting-edge tech to research Victoria’s most elusive birds. Harriet from #ARIScience is researching and studying the Australasian bittern, Lewin’s rail and the Australian Spotted Crake🐦
Scientists are monitoring the ecological response of the flows in the River Murray, to better inform how we deliver #WaterForTheEnvironment. 🔗 Read more: dcceew.gov.au/water/cewo/pub… @FlowMERprogram @CSIRO @envirosanews @SA_PIRSA #ARIscience @MD_Basin_Auth @VicEWH @nswenviromedia
Musseling up for species recovery. Such #coolscience being trialled successfully by @DEECA_Vic #ARIscience gurus! @VicFisheries @DCCEEW @JacintaAllanMP @ShingvWorld @GayleTierney @tanya_plibersek @abcnews
See those spots on the fins of the fish? They are babies of the critically endangered Glenelg Freshwater Mussels using fish fins as hosts / transport as they grow in the tanks of the Arthur Rylah Institute in a first-ever breeding trial of the species. @DEECA_Vic #ARIscience
Why is the Southern Bent-wing Bat called that? It's because the ends of its wings 'bend' in & only open when in flight. Monitoring work around Portland of this tiny microbat is continuing to establish baseline data. Find out more: ghcma.vic.gov.au #ARIscience @DEECA_Vic
Moth monitoring 101: get out after dark! This week in Portland our first community event to understand which moths we currently have that may be a food source for the endangered microbat, the Southern Bent-wing Bat, was held. @DEECA_Vic @DCCEEW #ARIScience
Integration of science in policy is key to #EvidenceBased decision-making. That’s why researchers and policymakers from @BehaviourWorksA, @ICON_Science and #ARIscience got together as a Community of Practice to bridge the gap between research and practice. Thanks @lilyvaneeden
What happened in 1 minute on the Grange Burn this morning? 7am - the sun came up. 20 seconds later - Platycam had enough light to broadcast in colour. 20 seconds after that - The platypus woke up & checked out the day ... a couple of times #keepwatching @DEECA_Vic #ARIscience
Monitoring moths requires very specific scientific equipment - a bedsheet and a light - find out how to use them as a good citizen scientist in Portland next Tuesday. Details: ghcma.vic.gov.au @DEECA_Vic @ZoosVictoria @fernhames #ARIscience #coolscience #moths #bats #micro
Sad to be finishing up at #ARIscience last week. Thanks to @fernhames, @sbekessy, & @LiamSmith_BWA for the opportunity to work at the academic-government interface, exploring possibilities for behaviour change and other social sciences to support nature conservation
On today, at 1 pm Melbourne time: excellent opportunity to hear from the brilliant Prof Richard Kingsford; all welcome. #ARIscience @DEECA_Vic @UNSW

BARDA and #ARIScience are partnering under the ReDIRECT program to use #AI to screen existing @US_FDA approved drugs for potential respiratory stimulants that may treat opioid and other chemical threats and identify new drugs for further testing. ow.ly/UcaG50OZH8p
New paper led by Vanja Kitanovic! We are continuing to assemble the puzzle of managing river flows for vegetation. Plants are much more tolerant of winter inundation #ARIScience @The_WERG @jgreet81 @S_A_McKendrick check it out here rdcu.be/de55B
Plane from Melbourne delayed flying to #FreshWaterDownunder conference but have finally landed in Brisbane #ARIscience
One year ago today we launched Platycam - the world's only livestream of platypus in the wild. Overnight, the camera caught some of the best paddling platyaction we've seen! platycam.com.au @DEECA_Vic @DanielAndrewsMP #ARIscience #platypus #platypusarecool
You've got flippers ... but you're not a fish! Look who popped up in our fish surveys of the Merri and Hopkins Rivers this week as we were assessing if our newly installed habitats are encouraging aquatic animals to live in and around them. #ARIscience @DEECA_Vic @envirogov
So pleased people braved the weather and came along to our Snowy Estuary community event last week. We talked about our Snowy River estuary environmental flows study and Arthur Rylah Institute demonstrated electrofishing, a technique to study and monitor native fish. #ARIScience
How often do you contemplate your relationship with nature? #AloneAustralia @SBS prompts us to think more deeply about how we relate to nature beyond basic survival needs. @fernhames @lilyvaneeden @sbekessy @MelissaHatty @KateLee #ARIScience theconversation.com/how-alone-aust…
Our next ARI Seminar- May 1st, 1-2pm- the hidden role of botanists. Join us to hear from Dr Steve Sinclair (#ARIscience) present on developing sustainable grazing practices and Dr Andre Messina (@RBG_Victoria ) on seed banks for the future. Register at events.teams.microsoft.com/event/c7f966df…
4 steps to fighting serrated tussock: 1. hit it with herbicide (targeted) 2. burn it with fire 3. sow native seeds 4. hit it again with herbicide Fantastic paper by @TaliaHumphries & @FedUniAustralia in collab with #ARIscience, @DEECA_Vic & @ParksVictoria doi.org/10.1038/s41598…
