Congratulations Shannon!

Excited that Living Seawalls is featured as a case study in ths new report on climate resilient infrastructure that benefits nature, recently released at cop28.

Our Living Pilings have been installed at Sawmillers Reserve! These modules provide habitat for a range of marine species living around wharf pilings.

Thank you to Alex Goad / Reef Design Lab at Reef Design Lab & North Sydney Council for supporting this research!

Researcher @SynBioRoy from our @macquarie_uni node and Daniel Schindler have built the tRNA Neochromosome – a chromosome new to nature. 👏 This breakthrough brings us one step closer to creating the world's first synthetic brewers yeast and much more.🧬
