Joel wins Sydney Trailwalker
Perhaps even more improbably, Joel recently got together with three blokes from his running club (Jaap Bakker, Richard Green and Jonathan Worswick) and took out the Oxfam Sydney Trailwalker, a 100-km ultramarathon through the bushland of Sydney. The run attracted over 500 teams this year, who run or walk together along some of Sydney's most spectacular bushland to raise money for Oxfam's relief work.

Joel wins Australian Rogaining Championships
Improbably, Joel and his rogaining partner Phil Whitten sneaked in by only 20 points (out of 2690) to win the 24-h Australian Rogaining Championships held last weekend in the Eastern MacDonnell Ranges near Alice Springs. For those of you who have never heard of the sport, rogaining is a long-distance version of orienteering. You are given a topographic map with ~50-60 specific points marked on it (each worth different amounts of points) and you have to plan a course to visit as many of them as possible in the allotted time - anywhere from 6-24 h depending on the event.

Lab success at East Coast Protein Meeting
At the East Coast Protein Meeting, which was held last weekend at Coffs Harbour, the lab took home more than their fair share of the prizes! Mugdha Bhati won the prize for the best student talk, and Chu Kong Liew was runner-up for the best presentation by a non-student. Molly Clifton won the prize for the best poster, and Melinda Tan was a runner-up in the same category. Well worth the trip up the coast and the hardship of staying at the Opal Cove resort for a couple of days!
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!
