Joel has a good run

Last weekend, I raced in the Great North Walk 100-mile trail run just north of Sydney, and was lucky enough to come in third, behind David Waugh and Tim Cochrane. It was an awesome run with great scenery, and everything went as well as it could possibly have done on the day. Support crew (Jacqui) was superb, and I managed not to get lost, dehydrated, food-deprived or pulled down into the creeks by the 100's of killer leeches on the course.

Eija wins Cancer Institute NSW Award

Not only have Joel, Jacqui, Ann and Margie been busy getting grants, but Eija Lehtomaki didn't want to miss out either. She has been awarded a Cancer Institute NSW Research Scholar Award, which will help fund her research project and provide funding for conference travel and other expenses. Well done Eija!

More grants! Yay!

At the same time we found out about the grant towards our new NMR spectrometer, Jacqui was awarded an NHMRC Project Grant to continue some of her work on LIM domain complexes, and Margie and Ann were awarded an ARC Discovery Grant to investigate aspects of hydrophobin structure and function. Celebration time!

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!
