Joel goes back to primary school (again).

Joel has been involved with the CSIRO's Scientists in Schools program for 5 or so years now, and recently visited his long-term partner school - Strathfield North Public School - spending 2 days with the year 5 and 6 students teaching them about the principles of electromagnetism and giving them the chance to make an electromagnetic motor themselves from basic materials. It's a great program - he would thoroughly recommend it to anyone who wanted to help raise science literacy in schools.

Flyp and Lorna’s ECPM success

At the recent East Coast Protein Meeting, Philippa won the ComBio award based on her talk and CV - entitling her to travel to ComBio in Perth this year to present her work to a wider audience. At the same time, Lorna picked up the postdoc poster prize for describing her recent work, so Jacqui's group had a successful outing overall!

Saad hands in!

Saad has just summited that seemingly gargantuan mountain of thesis writing and handed in a very nice looking PhD thesis on interactions within his favourite protein complex. Now, time to take a breather and try to remind his family what he looks like! Well done Saad - top effort!

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!
