We’re halfway through our ASM NSW/ACT Branch Nancy Millis Student Travel Awards Night ✨ It’s been a fantastic showcase thus far of the exciting research our students are undertaking! Heavy metals & AMR, P. aeruginosa-amoeba eye infections, & Aussie marsupials + viruses!

Second half also ~did not~ disappoint! They’re really not making it easy for our judges 😅 This session looked at arbovirus surveillance, A. baumannii from Chile 🇨🇱 and AMR, cross feeding between A. baumannii + K. pneumo, & MotAs!

Congrats to all the finalists! Truly solid effort!! Big shout out to our winners Catherine Dawson (UoN) and Brodie (USYD)!

I am very excited to see this New Phytologist Tansley review published. With Professors John Patrick and Christopher Grof, we have explored the events and transporters underpinning sugar loading of developing seeds in grain crops and Arabidopsis. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…

Are you sequencing genomes? Do you want to compare the chromosomes of two or more species?🧬 I recently released the ODP software package to make scalable comparative genomics easier. Example plots below.📊 1/🧵 paper: nature.com/articles/s4158… github: github.com/conchoecia/odp

🥁 Happy to share that our Parsley app for handling data from *any plate reader* is now live and the preprint is up! 🌱 This is Parsley. gbstan.shinyapps.io/parsleyapp/

Attending #ASM2023 ASM today? #Day2 Pop by my poster #210 tonight on #ColdPlasma #PlasmaActivatedWater as a pre-treatment in the context of #Biofilm infected #ChronicWounds 🥹 Let’s call this the soft launch for my upcoming paper!!!?! 👀📝 *Watch this Space* #S00N

To kick off the Nancy Millis Student Awards Session is our Vic Branch winner @SallyByers18 from LithgowLab Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute

A huge congratulations to our ASM Nancy Millis Student #award winners! Each presenter won their respective state's competition and these talks were truly superb. Well deserved!! #ASM2023

#WomenInSTEM represent! 💪 Such amazing research and talks from my fellow award winners. UON WiSTEMM Club

🚨 Update 🚨 I WON the ASM #ASM2023 ‘Best ECR Poster Award’ 🥇 Shout out to my team of microbiologists & engineers who contributed to this work Anne Mai-Prochnow PJ Cullen Binbin Xia and Co. I thank ASM NSW/ACT Branch for the ‘Post Doc Award’ that aided my attendance! ✨🥹

Come along to our UON WiSTEMM event - mental health morning tea ☕️👋🏼 Perfectionism, work-life balance and how to manage stress are just some of the topics to be discussed at our upcoming morning tea with UON counselor Katrina Hamall. Registration here: uonwistemmmhmt.getqpay.com/?fromsite=true

Interesting study looking at within patient diversity of Pseudomonas strains and how this contributes to AMR

Excited to introduce #ggvloc! 🎉 For everyone working with differential expression datasets & RNAseq data, this can be a game-changer. Visualize & highlight genes of interest in just one line of code Check out the package here:github.com/loukesio/ggvolc. Don't forget to give it a ⭐

Happy Science week! NationalScienceWeek 😀🫁🤍 We are fortunate to have such an incredible communications team at Hunter Medical Research Institute (HMRI) who are always finding engaging ways to make our science accessible to the community. Thanks for letting me be involved in this - so fun!
