Mitch wins poster prize at Genome meeting

Eschewing the usual Lorne Protein conference this year, Mitch and a small hardcore band of transcription people headed for the Lorne Genome Conference - same location, different science! As well as the chance to hear Phil Gregory from Sangamo talk about designer zinc fingers, Mitch was able to win a prize for his poster on protein design using RanBP-type zinc fingers. Well done Mitch - will help pay for your rent increase!

Former lab member becomes a dad

Gonzalo Durante (Gonn), a visitor to the lab from Spain in 2007 (wow - time flies!) had a busy week last July, when he (a) got married, (b) defended his PhD thesis (successfully) and (c) became a father. You can see the whole family. Now, *that* was a stressful week! He is currently being a father-at-home, and planning his next career move. Maybe we will see him in Australia again?

Now *this* is an insect!

You thought that it was the snakes, scorpions, sharks and spiders that you had to worry about in Australia. No one warned you about the monster stick insects though... check this out. You could put a leash on it and take it for a walk! The body was 20 cm long!

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!
