Thank you Andrea for your insightful seminar at UniMelbDOVS today! What a journey to gain a better understanding of axon degeneration, the role of NMN, SARM1 and potential druggable pathways. Was great to see you and hopefully the next time will be in person!

ABC Top 5 is open!
I had a wonderful Top 5 experience with ABC News and it’s what spurred me on to apply for #SuperstarsOfSTEM . So if you’re a budding science communicator and researcher, I really recommend this media residency with ABC ✨

Melbourne STEM ECRs - are you interested in being on radio?
I'm working on the calendar for Einstein A Go Go for the coming months and I want to fill the airwaves with some more ECRs. First timers are most welcome.
Shoot me a DM if you are interested in talking about your work.…

A wonderful part of being a Board Director for the Toyota Community Trust is the ability to support and celebrate some amazing STEM teachers and educators.
Congratulations to all the recipients (teachers and students) of the Public Ed Foundation scholarships!

See you there!

#SciComm is a female-dominated field often undervalued as 'care work', especially in academia. Our latest preprint examines sentiments around sci-comm in the life sciences and asks, if it's so poorly rewarded, why do people do it? 🧵⬇️ 1/n biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Happy new year! 🥳 from a crowded flower market with thousands of others in Hong Kong 🐉✨ May it be a year of happiness, fortune and health 🧧恭喜發財，身體健康，龍馬精神，心想事成 ✨

Don’t think he misses me when he has his sister 🤣🐕🐕

Thank you Misha Schubert for all that you have done as CEO of Science & Technology Australia ✨ I will miss your smiling, positive presence for the rest of #SuperstarsOfSTEM this year but can’t wait to see the waves you’ll make next in the super industry!

Had a sick 🤒 start to the year but finally getting back into it... albeit a bit slowly. Spending the morning assessing grant applications 📝 exciting to read some great proposals on how to improve STEM equity across Australia
