Want to know more about the evolution of cancer associated genes? Check out poster 047 at #ICG2023 by the fearless Scott who never feels the cold, Nick MacDonald from the The Wild Genes Group

If you’re interested in what my PhD project is about, check out this blog post on the ESA website ☺️☺️

Phew - it's the last day and we are feeling inspired (and a little tired, hence the meme!). What an incredible Congress it has been - we can't believe that today is the last day. Enjoy connecting, remember to take in the Poster presentations, and have an incredible #ICG2023!

Go work with King Penguins!🐧

MUSSELS ARE COOL! If you want to know why, come and see me today at @ICG2023 poster no. 006 The Wild Genes Group Beata Ujvari @deakinresearch

After all tickling all our sensors THE LUME Melbourne, the conference dinner went out with a bang. The Wild Genes Group having fun at #ICG2023. Melbourne, Australia You delivered!

One of those (rare) days, when the force is with me... or am I being sucked away by aliens? #ICG2023 do we have some delegates from the Milky Way?

High pathogenic avian influenza is big news at the moment, but Australia and Antarctica remain free of HPAI (at least for now). Michelle Wille now at #ICG2023 on ecology and genetics of avian influenza in Australian birds

Amazing line up of talks at #ICG2023 Genetics of Wildlife Disease & Responses to Infection symposium! Bravo to speakers Michelle Wille Dr Hannah Siddle Paige Haffener Adam Miller/EcoGenetics Lab Maria Jenckel Heather McDonald-Haynes/Charles Perkins Centre Grace Day Tian Du Kimberley Batley

So timely after last week's #ICG2023 talks! Dr Hannah Siddle Kimberley Batley Grace Day Helena Westerdahl Michelle Wille nature.com/articles/d4158…

Jumping between different ecological niches is never good news as this may give unexpected adaptations that we never anticipated!

Huge study of HPAI genetics in the USA. THREE!! distinct HPAI viruses (3 introductions?), local reassortment with LP viruses, and complex patterns of spatial diffusion. 👉sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Excited times ahead for The Wild Genes Group, the fabulous Grace Day tackling DNA extraction with DR Kate from Marine Mammal_AU to decipher the mysteries of immune genes in Cetacea.🤩

So proud of you Georgina Bramwell! Not far to go now to thesis submission! Many more cool mussel papers to come! Well done, you make us proud! @deakinresearch @DeakinSEBE @DeakinCIE CNRS in Oceania

I am excited to present the second biggest science news today (congrats to Drs Kariko and Weissman)—the analysis of the genomic changes in the evolution of the bivalve transmissible neoplasia in soft-shell clams! Nature Cancer Pacific Northwest Research Institute nature.com/articles/s4301…
