Lab members take Lorne posters by storm

Taylor, Mehdi and Athina all picked up prizes for their poster presentations at the Lorne Protein Conference this week. Poster prize success rate was overall about the same as the current NHMRC grant success rate, so a champion effort from them! No doubt they'll be buying the drinks for the rest of the lab...(and did I mention that the prize money goes into the lab consumables pool?)

Bogong to Hotham 2017

It has been 15 years or so since I'd run the Bogong to Hotham ultramarathon down in the Victorian Alps. I've always maintained that it is the most scenic ultra I've ever run in Australia, so I don't know why it's taken me so long to do it again! Anyway, I did get around to it this year finally. Had had a niggly Achilles leading up to it, so was a bit unsure how I was going to go with the three massive climbs in the event, but everything held together and it was a magnificent day out on the Bogong High Plains. Finished 13th in 9:28 - 7 min faster than 15 years ago - all those years of training in between don't seem to made much difference, some might say! I might have finished 5 min...

Kangaroo creek outing

Given the temperature today, I thought I'd head down to the Royal National Park and spend the morning wading down Kangaroo Crreek from Waterfall to Karloo Pool. Water was refreshing but almost too warm at Karloo! Then a trot back up to Heathcote and along the fire trail back to Waterfall...  

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!
