Traded the lab coat for hi-vis this weekend to help set up my dad’s stall for the Sydney Ceramics Market at Carriageworks. It’s been so inspiring seeing all the beautiful creations. Drop by and say hi if you’re in the neighbourhood.

The Jane Goodall Institute of Canada has learned this morning, Wednesday, October 1st, 2025, that Dr. Jane Goodall DBE, UN Messenger of Peace and Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute, has passed away due to natural causes.

She was in California as part of her speaking tour in the United States.
Grateful to have the opportunity to share some of our lipidomics work at the @molecularhorizons.bsky.social Symposium. This project has truly been an collaborative effort across the institution 💚💜🩷🩵
This would be an absolute game changer. Australian medical replace been hanging on for dear life due to lack of funding, and the collapse of the American research sector only makes it worse. We need funding so we can deliver medical advancements for our communities
And we’re off! The first @molecularhorizons.bsky.social ECR Symposium is underway. This mornings session covered everything from nanobody applications to a signature for metastatic cancer and ALS biomarkers.
Wild!!!! This is some true science witchcraft
When the theme is ‘art party’, so you make it a family affair.
Been playing around with good old faithful SH SY5Y cells as we optimise some mass spec imaging sample prep methods. Keen to get these under the mass spec to see if we are moving in the right direction!

After quitting Twitter and going into social media eXile (see what I did there?) I'm keen to get back into Academic socials. If you know people in the #vascular, #atherosclerosis, #SCAD, #ECM, #sex_difference, #proteomics, or #iPSC space I would love some recommendations please!!

Disasters like the algal bloom in SA are becoming more and more frequent due to climate change.

Australia Institute research shows a climate disaster fund, paid for by big polluters, would save taxpayers tens of billions of dollars a year. #auspol

Next Dutch house added to the window neighbourhood
Starting an evening tradition… drawing a new Dutch house on our front window 🧡
Went to continue reading some papers on NIH website and can no longer access them as the server can’t be found. Went back to X to see if there was anything circulating only to be met with what now seems to be a propaganda account 😳 I just want to finish reading my lipid papers!

If you're interested, you can watch many thousands and thousands of fellow Australians right now marching across the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge for peace in Palestine

It's bucketing down rain, and still they keep coming, and still they keep marching
