Hey ARC DPers with career interruptions- take a "print screen" of what you enter in your career interruptions boxes- seems like the ARC will never make this info roll over so do your future self a favour if it's a complicated set of dates 😭 (yes I have it saved elsewhere) @arc-tracker.bsky.social

This paper is not only collaborative internationally, between UNSW, VU and KIT, but also across Australia, including @pukalalab.bsky.social in Adelaide and @msidownunder.bsky.social at UoW Wollongong. Olivia @olivrusli.bsky.social really made the most of Aussie borders reopening to get her data!!!
A collaboration between researchers in Australia, The Netherlands & Germany, the paper elucidates the structure of glyphosate-metal complexes and its metabolic product aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) using a variety of advanced experimental and computational techniques.

Anouk and I first met at the IMSC meeting in Bremen in 2009-little did I know back then that some time later after a very successful @anzsms.bsky.social meeting in Wollongong we'd be collaborating ❤️

As an Australian, it is not lost on me that warnings about climate change included overlapping fire seasons, and now it appears we are seeing exactly that.
