Super exciting to read about the research being done regarding animal behavioural characteristics and pest management implications 🤩 My masters research into social learning in common brushtail possums even got a mention!

It's a bit of a pinch-me moment to open my Twitter and see my own paper mentioned in my feed! @RSocPublishing @ElissaZCameron

Watching African wildlife documentaries and living for Shark Week was an integral part of my childhood so what fantastic species to share a spotlight on! 🦁🦈

Was walking through Hagley Park yesterday and found a dead possum so reported it to the @ChristchurchCC. Got an email this morning to let me know that the 'issue had been resolved' so went to take a look and had some fun drawing up a little crime scene - truly my best work
And just last Friday, I had my first-ever radio interview - thank you to @CharlieDreaver and @wallacelchapman for having me on @ThePanelRNZ to talk about my fun little possum experiment! Have a listen here (around the 21:10 mark): rnz.co.nz/national/progr…
Had a lovely chat with @JMulliganRNZ yesterday about my possum research and whether I developed an attachment to the possums I worked with. Thanks for having me on the programme, Jesse! Take a listen here: rnz.co.nz/national/progr…
Using a $9 dog treat toy, UC Master’s student @_emmagodfrey has conducted research showing, for the first time, that common brushtail possums can learn from their peers. #UCsustainability #biodiversity #UCResearch #postgrad @RSocPublishing bit.ly/3XA5nrh
anyways, twitter trolls aside, incredibly proud of my friend @_emmagodfrey for her hard work in the social learning scientific world and deserved recognition in NZ 🥳

You are my hero @ogmadshy
World-first possum study finds they learn by watching others, which could hamper eradication efforts dlvr.it/Sh36yj
THIS IS MY RESEARCH!!!
Hello Twitterverse, any potential tips for a first-time interview about your research? I've just been contacted by a journalist from NewhubNZ which is both exciting and terrifying 😱
The acceptance of my paper into a journal I didn't think I would get into on the first go has made me really excited for papers I'll (hopefully!) produce in the future
When your silly little possum paper gets accepted into the @RSocPublishing Biology Letters journal - not bad for your first-ever paper!!
