Down but not out – Climate talks at COP25 inspire young scientists to do even more to protect the environment
Four Master of Environment and Sustainability (MES) students experienced the dream of a lifetime when they were invited to take part in the UN Climate Change COP25 talks in Madrid late last year.
Monash scientists rescue endangered birds from fire
In a dramatic rescue operation, Monash scientists together with Zoos Victoria, Parks Victoria, and the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) are moving the endangered Eastern Bristlebird to safety as fires continue to threaten important habitats in far East Gippsland region.
Grey seals discovered clapping underwater to communicate
Marine mammals like whales and seals usually communicate vocally using calls and whistles.
Spectroscopy goes viral
The Monash Scientists at the centre of the ground-breaking work using spectroscopy technology to detect malaria have expanded their research to show for the first time the same principles could be applied to diagnose the hepatitis B and C viruses (HBV and HCV).

#ScienceSunday - Did you know the length of a baby bird's telomeres can predict its future fitness? 💪🐦🥇 Telomeres are segments of chromosomal DNA that protect coding DNA and shorten in response to cell replication and stress. 🧬 An international study led by Monash biologists found that longer telomeres in infancy equalled more offspring and a greater genetic contribution to the next generation.
