Scientists in Schools
Joel has been involved in the CSIRO Scientists in Schools program for a few years now, visiting a local primary school (Strathfield North Public School) once or twice a year to do a day of science with a bunch of the students (usually about 150 in a day in three lots). They do experiments like making electric motors, using levers and pulleys and purifying their own DNA. Recently, the school magazine discussed the visit by Joel (and Mitchell and Ann) in July: Science Week August 11-18 A feature of our science programs is our association with Dr Joel Mackay who works at Sydney University and is part of the CSIRO national program that creates and supports long-term partnerships between...
Marylene wins SPG ECR Prize
This one slipped through the news net - apologies for that Marylène... On 15 June, the Sydney Protein Group had an Early Career Researcher event in which six speakers (including Marylène and Ana) vied for the opportunity to get a guaranteed speaking slot at the upcoming ComBio conference in Adelaide. After a series of high-quality talks, the judges awarded the prize to Marylène for her talk on the DNA-binding properties of ZNF217. Now she is packing her bags for Adelaide (well, not quite yet, but you get what I mean) - congratulations Marlène!
Cuong hands in his thesis – for good!
A huge collective sigh of relief was heard from the Nguyen household the other day when Cuong finished his thesis corrections and handed in the final copy of his thesis to the University! All three of his examiners' reports were excellent - commenting how well written and error-free the thesis was - and the corrections were very minor. Great timing - now he can make his move to UNSW (where he will be postdocing with Paul Curmi) with the thesis all dealt with and squared away. Congratulations Cuong!
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!
