Fun Request - Name our Sleepies!
With Em @Vonderwall_sci being out in the field, naming the lizards makes their life more entertaining.
Leave some suggestions in the comments and we will name the lizards after them 😁
✨puns✨ = bonus points
Can't beat a field site summer sunset 😍
ALT Sunset with gumtrees in right hand side of picture with the sky being a gradient of blue, orange, yellow, purples and pinks. Low lit scrub in the bottom half of image.
ALT Evening photo of dam surrounded by minimal scrub, gumtrees, and red dirt. Sky is the colour of cotton candy, blue sky with light pink clouds.
We have an INTERN POSITION OPEN (unpaid) for a study on personality differences across sexes in Gidgee skinks
Location: Flinders University, Adelaide

Hi! My name is Gabriela. I'm currently an Honours student @Flinders looking at identifying three potential blood parasites in sleepy lizards and understanding if these blood parasites differ across the boundary of two tick species (A. limbatum & B. hydrosauri) at Bundey Bore😁
Hi, I'm Amy, and I am currently a part time Honours student @Flinders. I completed my Bachelor of Behavioural Science/Bachelor of Science (Animal Behaviour) in 2022. I am currently researching the immune response of pair-bonded sleepy lizards.
Hi! I’m Em @Vonderwall_sci, I am currently an Honours student @Flinders looking at defining the natural fluctuations of Oxytocin and Dopamine in pair bonded sleepy lizards.
My undergrad was in Marine Bio & Aquaculture.
My fav thing about LEGS is working with amazing academics☺️

Hey! Im Sebastian Rea @SebastianRea00. I'm a current honours student for LEGS @Flinders.
My research looks into training a sniffer dog to locate pygmy blue tongue lizards allowing for easier monitoring and a deeper understanding of the endangered lizards!
Hi, my name is Lynea @lynea_witczak, I'm a postdoc here @Flinders on a @FulbrightAUS scholarship where I'm researching the neurobiology of sleepy lizard pair bonding, teaching animal handling and other courses and co-supervising honours candidates
Hi, I’m Dr Amy Slender @LeeSlender. I’m a part-time research associate for LEGS @Flinders. I use genetic/genomic techniques to understand ecology and evolution. The best part of my job is training & inspiring students.
Hi, I'm Professor Mike Gardner @MikeG_Lizards, the head of the Legs @Flinders. We work on evolutionary questions in sleepy lizards - continuing work started in 1982 by Mike Bull -as well as the endangered pygmy blue-tongue. The highly social gidgee skink is where my work began
