Degrees of separation in science
A couple of days ago, Jacqui and I attended a dinner for the announcement of the Prime Minister's Science Prizes in Canberra. We were surprised to bump into the mother of one of Jacqui's former PhD students (Janet Deane). As it turned out, her father was part of a team at CSIRO that pioneered the technology that became wireless networking (wiLAN). The leader of that team, John O'Sullivan won the prestigious Prime Minister's Price for Science as a result of that team's work. It turned out that they were all radio astronomers that were trying to come up with practical applications of algorithms they had developed for noise reduction etc in radio signals from space. It was only then that I...
Visiting academic in the lab
A/Prof. Siavoush Dastmalchi is visiting the lab for 6 months from Tabriz University of Medical Sciences in Iran. Siavoush did his PhD at the University of Sydney with Bret Church (and also did some NMR work with us during that period). He has come to brush up on his NMR spectroscopic skills.
Socks and Soumya win poster prizes at the ECPM
Sock Yue Thong won the prize for the best poster and Soumya Joseph won third prize for her poster at the East Coast Protein Meeting, held in Coffs Harbour over the weekend. The ECPM is a joint initiative of the Sydney Protein Group and the Queensland Protein Group and is held every two years. The meeting focuses on giving younger scientists the opportunity to give oral presentations. Socks' poster outlined her work on the structural analysis of proteins in the NuRD complex. Mitch O'Connell, Robyn Mansfield, Ingrid MacIndoe, Vanessa Morris and Paula Vaz won travel awards to attend the meeting.
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!
