Link below to my first publication! This paper paper shows different ecological niches between two widespread co-occuring groups of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in nutrient poor soils🍄 https://t.co/lFq5Ijphwd

I finally got to wear the floppy hat! Thanks @RachelJStandish for a great four years 😁 #phdlife

I've had one of my PhD chapters published only a day after I submitted the thesis! This paper shows alarming findings that keystone Australian trees may not be recruiting succesfully in forest long-infested with a Phytophthora plant pathogen. https://t.co/lVISVqSIC8

After a great four years, I’ve submitted my PhD thesis! “Cascading impacts of the plant pathogen Phytophthora cinnamomi to mycophagous quenda (Isoodon fusciventer) and native fungi” I’m extremely proud of this work and had a lot of fun working on it 😁

Proud to have been awarded the CSIRO L&W Science Excellence Award! I still don’t know basic math though…

Our first #WorldSoilDay session next week features members of the ARC Training Centre for @Healing_Country discussing their research and projects as an interactive panel 💬 We look forward to seeing those who have registered next week, and apologies to those who missed out!

.@_TomMansfield talking about the effects of Phythopthora on native plants in Western Australia. #ESASCBO2022

Come see me speak at #ESASCBO2022 from 11-1 today! I’ll be discussing how Phytophthora dieback impacts native fungi of the jarrah forest.

Young me never would’ve expected to be collecting #truffles 🍄 Alongside being important mycorrhizal fungi, truffles provide food for bandicoots! #quenda #wildoz #phdlife

🥁Meet Tom Mansfield (@_TomMansfield), PhD candidate @MurdochUni. Tom will be presenting on "The effects of Phytophthora dieback infestations on resident fungal communities". #ESASCBO2022 See program for details: https://t.co/X04vMRy07A

Perfect weather for bandicoot tracking @Talk2tt182 @nataliekgrassi

Some of the work I have been doing over the last 2.5 years of my PhD; habitat surveys; glasshouse trials; DNA sequencing; quenda tracking @MurdochUni
