Socks gets the official word on her PhD

...and the word is "congratulations!" - yes - that's right - the official letter from the Dean has arrived saying that Socks has qualified for the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Well done Socks - we will put the champers in the fridge for your graduation!

Nick scores Early Career Research Award from the ARC

In the recently announced ARC round, Nick won one of the inaugural DECRA (Discovery Early Career Researcher Award) grants - from a very competitive field - overall success rate of just under 13%. Storming effort Nick - I suppose you will be wanting my office now... You can read about the outcomes of this scheme here - there is some interesting reading in the selection statistics (the ARC always provides this information - you can see it for other schemes too, like the Discovery Projects etc), and the PDF file on that page has the successful grants listed. Congratulations again to Nick - it is a significant step in his research...

More lab grant success

In the recently announced ARC Discovery grant round, Joel was lucky enough to get his two applications funded (outcomes here) - one on zinc finger design and one on trying to figure out the function of our favourite RNA-binding protein A bit of a zinc-finger-centric collection of grants if you take the NHMRC one into account... Now we will be able to afford two-bedroom apartments for the mice!

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!
