 Academics get younger and younger!


Nelle catches up of the latest Trends in Ecology and Evolution.

The School of Biological Sciences at UQ is well known for hiring young, and 'up and coming' academics, but some say the Integrative Ecology Lab have taken it too far! Pictured above, Nelle, the daughter of Robbie Wilson and Amanda Niehaus, takes in some light reading in the international journal 'Trends in Ecology and Evolution' at the ripe age of 18 months. This report comes after Child Services officials voice fears of children being robbed of their childhood. Robbie and Amanda, however, assure us that while Nelle does enjoy several international scientific publications, she is also a big fan of Madonnas work when bedtime comes around.
