Wonderful to watch @brettcollins.bsky.social giving his @anzscdb.bsky.social President’s Medal talk. So well deserved! #HunterMeetingOz 🧪

Time change season is here! While most Australian states fall back from DST, QLD, WA & NT don't practice it. @benweger.bsky.social and I break down why this might be a win in our latest piece for The Conversation. ⏰☀️ @emcra-imb.bsky.social theconversation.com/daylight-sav...

Guardian Australia @australia.theguardian.com reporting on the proposed changes to the ARC grants system. There’s concern that getting rid of standalone fellowships will have lots of unintended consequences, especially for Early-Career Researchers. By @donnadlu.bsky.social

A sombre #FluorescenceFriday this week. This (developing quail) heart goes out to my fellow scientists & their students in the US. Science can be a brutal career at the best of times but watching from afar as your system struggles, I can only imagine how you feel. Dark times. We see you. Hold on. 🧪

Happy last #FluorescenceFriday before Xmas! It's been a long, stressful 2024 that ended on a high with news of 3 successful grants. Nearly time to rest, relax & regroup before an exciting 2025. Enjoy this beautiful quail neural tube & somites imaged by talented undergrad Avelynn Ang Xin Li 😍🧪#devbio

I’m delighted & grateful to be awarded an ARC Discovery Project Grant to use live imaging to study epithelial fusion in our #devbio transgenic quail model. But I’m acutely aware of all the outstanding work that didn’t get funded due to too little investment in Australian science. 🥹 #bittersweet 🧪👩‍🔬

Woohoo! Julia Pagan has entered the chat @celljulia.bsky.social Follow her for cool biochem/protein ubiquitination/ mitochondria science stuff. And probably pictures of her ridiculous dog.
