Grant success

Hooray - we will be able to buy pipette tips next year! Joel was awarded two ARC Discovery Grants and Jacqui one. Joel's two projects are focused on (a) new functions for zinc finger transcription factors (in collaboration with Merlin Crossley) and (b) novel zinc-finger DNA-binding domains. Jacqui's grant will extend her work on LIM domain transcriptional regulators.

Robyn wins a prize at ComBio 2008

Robyn showed them what she was made of at the recent ComBio conference in Canberra, winning a poster prize for her presentation on the peptide-binding properties of PHD domains. Congratulations Robyn - well deserved!

Wendy on the radio

Wendy Yung, an MSc graduate from the Mackay lab, appeared on ABC National Radio the other day. Wendy has been working at Questacon, the National Science and Technology Centre, for a number of years now, and travels around the country with their science roadshow, enthusing people about science. Wendy chatted to Robin Williams about the exhibition that she is currently touring the country with. You can listen to the interview here [note that this link is for the whole science show - you need to head to a spot about 3/4 of the way through to hear Wendy!].

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!
