The Lizard Lab has had substantial help from our interns and volunteers. Check out our hall of fame. Most interns join the lab during the spring-summer field season.

Here are our active members of the lab. We have had lots of help from Liam Agnew (an MRes student) and also Yieh Shing Tan (Shing).

 The amazing Christine Wilson. Christine has been with the lab since 2014. She initially managed our husbandry team, but is now employed by MARS (Macquarie Animal Research Services). She orders lizard food and looks after a huge number of lizards. We would be in trouble without her.

Will Bailes is our robotics expert. He was in the Department of Engineering and won a scholarship to work with us on our bluey signalling project. His mission is to build a robotic bluey! In this photo he is capturing images to make a 3-D lizard.

Cooper Van Der Wal has been part of the lab since November 2017. He did lots of husbandry for us when he was an undergrad. He has also made videos of the lab and helped on a huge range of projects. He is a skilled builder! Check out his YouTube channel!

Yieh Shing Tan (Shing) is helping with Yorick’s kin recognition work and will also help with other projects. She started in 2021.

We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the Macquarie University land, the Wattamattagal clan of the Darug nation, whose cultures and customs have nurtured, and continue to nurture, this land, since the Dreamtime.  We pay our respects to Elders past, present and future.
