Announcing the 13th annual Sydney Phylogenetics Workshop! This workshop will provide an intro to phylogenetic analysis using maximum-likelihood and Bayesian methods. Aimed at early career researchers in the Asia-Pacific. Date: 27–29 July Location: Online Cost: Free Details👇

Back in Sydney after a month in the USA, where I had the pleasure of working with Julie Dunning Hotopp and her lab at University of Maryland Medical Center - learning their tools for endosymbiont metatranscriptomic and lateral gene transfer analysis. Huge thank you for having me! 🧬🇺🇸

Fantastic talk by Dr Angelique Ray last night on the role of trace atmospheric gases on the survival and growth of Antarctic microbiomes at JAMS last night! Exhilarating seeing the passion you have for your research and congratulations on finishing your PhD!!

☺️

Thanks Burns_Brendan and everyone else who came for a chat! Really fun talking about my research to microbiologists from all around Australia 🧬👩🏼‍🔬 ASM #2022ASM

The Burns Lab crew rocking ASM #2022ASM and doing our best to look respectable…telling anyone who wants to listen about microbial mats, archaea, and ticks 🦠🧬🔬…Steffi Nobs @FraserLeod Laurène Leclerc

Someone said its not just the destination or even the journey, but the people you meet along the way. Awesome connecting the Iain Duggin and The Burns Lab crews at #2022ASM! @FraserLeod Steffi Nobs Laurène Leclerc Hannah Brown 🧂🦠🔬 Yan Liao Vinaya Shinde 🦠🔬🧬⚔️

Congrats KaiTheFishGuy on winning TWO postgraduate research awards for outstanding achievement in academic publications! 🏆 Well deserved - can’t say I’ve met many researcher who can write a fantastic quality paper with beautiful figues in only 1.5 weeks! 😉🐠

Everything you wanted to know about ticks and their symbionts but were afraid to ask…fantastic talk JAMS #JAMS11 by Laurène Leclerc of The Burns Lab and Nate Lo’s group fame…with some awesome tick puns thrown in 😎

Fantast-tick 🪲 talk by Laurène Leclerc about midichloria in ticks! #JAMS11 JAMS

lucky to get to hear Laurène Leclerc and Jordan Vink smash their talks at #JAMS11

Thanks for having me JAMS ! 🧬

A reminder that our event exploring the intersection of science and art is happening today at UNSW CLB 6 at 5pm! It will feature a talk by Steven Durbach and be accompanied by a SciArt showcase hosted by recent MPhil graduate Scarlett Li-Williams.

Been photographing flying fishes all day every day. I think we’re up to 6 species now, but I’ll need to check. What a stunning group of fishes these are! #RVInvestigator #InvestigatingtheIOT CSIRO Australian Museum Museums Victoria Bush Blitz Parks Australia

Thank you to the Linnean Society of NSW for awarding me the Macleay #Microbiology grant! 🦠🔬The grant will fund a lateral gene transfer study between prokaryotes and eukaryotes and is a collaboration with the CNRS 🌍 in France 🥐 The Linnean Society of London University of Sydney

So great spending the last 3 weeks with MIVEGEC in Montpellier. From tick rearing, dissecting and collecting it’s safe to say I’ve learnt a lot! Planning some awesome collaborations #watchthisspace 😜 CNRS 🌍 IRD.fr

Such a great feeling wrapping up this paper and presenting my results at the 11th Wolbachia conference in Crete! 🧬🧫🇬🇷🏺🏛️

#tick season has started in Australia! Collected loads of #paralysisticks when doing fieldwork in the Northern beaches. Remember to be careful and if you get bitten keep the tick in your freezer and I can check for pathogens if you get sick!
