Lab retreat done and dusted for 2013

The annual lab retreat to Hyam's Beach (whitest sand in the world - and possibly the squeakiest too) went off without any significant hitches last weekend. Fantastic weather, and we even had some intrepid cyclists transporting themselves the 30 km from Nowra to Hyam's, most likely to work up a thirst. Michael has kindly gathered together the weekend's top quotes (which I have edited for taste): Masterchef has definitely been missing the pure genius of simply slopping some ice cream on some crumpets.

Another boy off to Blighty

Morgan has fared us well now and headed off to the UK to work with Alessio Ciulli, who works on the structural biology of protein-protein interactions (sounds familiar!) and who is in the process of moving from Cambridge to Dundee. I hope Morgan has packed his winter sporren..

Flyp’s latest paper is out…

Congrats Flyp (and Chu Wai and Ann and others...!): Stokes et al., (2013) Structural Basis of the Interaction of the Breast Cancer Oncogene LMO4 with the Tumour Suppressor CtIP/RBBP8 J Mol Biol 425, 1101-10.

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!
