Huge congratulations Lara Herrero-Marcus , Griffith University for being awarded the first Aust'asian Virology “Young Award” - going to take me awhile to get used to that 🤣. For significant contributions to both their field and community. Can’t think of a more worthy recipient.

Our paper daisies and roses are going crazy! Gorgeous day to be out in the garden.

Been off campus for awhile. Getting my fill of #UQLakes on a walk past on a beautiful summer’s day.
