Sunday afternoons spent counting live/dead frog sperm... not your typical Sunday Sesh!

Zara Anastas is the newest EARL postgrad, recently commencing her project; 'Development of protocols for the short-term storage and cryopreservation of sperm from Australian frogs.' Zara is supervised by Aimee Silla (UOW), Phillip Byrne (UOW) and Justine O'Brien (TCSA).

Welcome!

Aimee J. Silla is one of the editors of Reproductive Technologies and Biobanking for the Conservation of Amphibians, an invaluable reference for the next generation of conservation practitioners: captive breeding facilities, researchers, and policy-makers.
