More megahertz, anyone?!
We met with some success in the latest round of ARC Equipment and Infrastructure grants and have been awarded $1.3M towards the cost of an 800 MHz NMR spectrometer to keep our cryo-equipped 600 company. We also have some commitments from other universities, which means that so long as we can raise the remainder of the funds, we will soon be shopping for a new shiny toy!

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!
