Sharing this again with a kiswahili proverb sent to me by a colleague this morning: Haba na haha, hujaza kibaba. "Little by little, it fills the container" #NoSciWithoutEDI

A fridge/freezer going down on your last day before annual leave is some kind of cosmic joke, right? I'm out of the office on a MUCH needed holiday until March and will only be replying to minimal emails. All other queries are Grace's responsibility until I get back.

Autocorrect messed up the Swahili 🤦♀️ It should be "Haba na haba" not "Haba na haha"

A sad day for the research community: @herminthology will stay on X to remain as a voice for diversity. I'm on leave in February, but when I return, I'll explore bluesky 🦋 & threads 🧵 I'm by no means a tech wiz, so any advice is appreciated!

Priscilla's honours project is a great little collab between @Sydney_Vet & @neily1101 @UniMelb In the 2nd picture, alongside a 🐌 on a quadrat, you can see one of the farmers keeping his eye on a brown snake 👀 Bonus points if you can spot the 🦘 in the last picture
