Lorne Proteins 2018

Our structural biology contingent headed down to Lorne for this year's proteins meeting at the new Cumberland venue! Not only did the meeting have the stunning views and great talks that Lorne is known for, but Pathtech was giving out inflatable monkeys providing lab members with endless opportunities for mischief. Check out some pictures from the conference, courtesy of Camilla!  

SOLES Ball 2017

This was the first year of the SOLES ball (formerly known as the Amoeba ball). Inspired by its location (the rather ritzy Australian Museum), the theme was "Night at the Museum" and everyone got the "dress like an ancient Egyptian" memo. Here are a few photos of lab members enjoying the night!

Tanja Mittag from St Judes in Memphis stopped off in Sydney to give a seminar after being an invited speaker at the Lorne Protein Conference this week. Her work on liquid droplets is very interesting indeed - and it's a field that is really just beginning I think. Joel took the opportunity to show her a prime example of Sydney sandstone coastline. They caught a ferry to Bundeena and walked a circuit that bypassed the famous coast track and instead travelled a minor route that is really right up on the cliffline - fantastic views on a beautiful day. There was the small issue of the unintended rogaine-style bush bash on a supposed trail that Joel had found on a map and thought would be a...

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!
