Although my research is on indefinite/terminal hiaitus, I am happy to see my last seminar remains online. It is certainly far from my best – given under circumstances of COVID lockdown, and after I had left my last academic post – but at least there’s a record for anyone interested in Prostanthera pollination.
The seminar was given as part of the special Prostanthera series of events held by the Australian Plants Society Victoria.
I recently began a brand new project with the University of Melbourne. The beginning of a new project is filled with equal parts excitement and trepidation—excitement at the novelty, the blank canvas, the potential, and trepidation at not wanting to put a foot wrong in critical early decisions that will affect the outcome of a career-defining opportunity.
Here the photos from a first foray into East Gippsland, surveying sites for bird-pollinated Prostanthera walteri.
