I’m at #ComBio2026 Sydney & doing some concurrent session hopping this afternoon. Loving learning diverse things but feeling FOMO for all the talks I miss. Congrats to the convenors & organisers for a great start to the meeting today!

Last week we celebrated & sadly farewelled two very valued members of our lab family, @soniagoozee.bsky.social & Anthea Lee. Sonia & Anthea successfully completed their honours, PhDs & short postdocs with us. Two such excellent researchers & wonderful humans. We'll miss you! @unswbabs.bsky.social

Today at the ESA-SRB-ANZOS 2025 meeting (www.esa-srb-anzos.org.au) all three of our lab contingent gave oral presentations! I was so impressed with Tia Valentini and Emmaline Lonergan, for giving their first talks at a scientific conference with such poise! Now we relax! #ANZOS @unswbabs.bsky.social
