Lab Retreat 2018: Nelson Bay

The lab just returned from our annual lab retreat- this year in a new location! Traditionally the retreat is held amid the white sands of Hyams beach, but this year we opted for a trip up north to Nelson Bay. In the spirit of new traditions, Jacqui and Ann invented a new game- Science Taboo. Gameplay is the same as normal Taboo, but with science terms (and a few accounting terms courtesy of our token accountant). In keeping with old traditions, a massive amount of Middle Eastern food was prepared by James, Vania, and Taylor and many friendships were sacrificed over rounds of Uno. All in all, a great time was had by everyone and we're already keen for next year! Enjoy a few photos from...

Taylor graces the small screen again

In the latest installment of her hit show on Channel 7 - Get Clever - Taylor shows off her fire-making skills for Australia's youth. You can check it out here (click the photo to access the link...) - look at about 2:20. 

Marylène has been extra busy…

Not only has she been planning a wedding, but she's been publishing senior author papers too. Here is her paper in J Mol Biol describing the combinatorial design of a nanobody that can recognized structured RNA molecules: Marylène's paper! A nice piece of work - well done Marylène - it's tough work getting them nailed down in the end!

Have been off X for months but had to log in to see response to AF3. I am much less smart than the authors - but am I (and Erin) the only ones to think that the helical afros that it makes out of IDRs is totally weird? Am I missing something?

Amazing story from the lab down the corridor - @RezwanSidd working with Sandro Ataide and Ruth Hall in @SydneySOLES at @Sydney_Science - now they will be thrown into the gladiators' pit I suspect with the other protagonists that prowl this landscape! 🙂 Great piece of work!
