Proud of my team at the Kirby Institute, UNSW who are joining the fight against COVID-19. Amazing collaboration between UNSW, POWH, Westmead and Garvan. @jseden1 @iradeveson Anurag Adhikari PhD ([email protected] @thiruni1

Virus HQ, is this a good idea?

Are you in these Sydney #coronavirus hotspots? UNSW virologist Prof Peter White says while "we're not going as hard and as early as New Zealand but we are going pretty hard and we have some advantages in Australia”. #COVID19au #StayHomeAustralia smh.com.au/national/nsw/k…

Let's stay safe at the shops over the next few months and do our part to slow the spread ASM Aust'asian Virology #coronavirus #isolation #COVID19Aus #COVID19

We're getting ready for #UNSWOpenDay this Saturday 5 Sept! There's more than meets the eye with a degree in #science, so our current students, staff and educators are ready to chat one-on-one at our online event. 👩‍💻 Register to join us: unsw.to/SciOpenDay20 #STEMCareers

Introducing Professor Brett Neilan! He is an academic overseer and mentor to our iGEM team. If spending time with family was a hobby, then that would be Brett's.

The origins of COVID-19 are 12 months old and here's what we know about how it started abc.net.au/news/2020-11-1…

New paper out from our work on cane toad viruses 🐸, led by @AliceGRusso White lab UNSW Could viruses be contributing to the toad invasion success in Australia? Have they left some viruses behind in their native range? Read more here: frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

🐨 Emma Harding from UNSW Biotechnology & Biomolecular Sciences examined the #DNA and #RNA of 13 Australian marsupial species and believes that viral fossils may be helping protect animals from infection. Could viral fossils in our own DNA being doing the same? newsroom.unsw.edu.au/news/science-t…

So thrilled to be the first guest on ResearchBytesPodcast for the opportunity to chat about my research into viral fossils inside #DNA 🧬 If you haven't had a listen, there's three previous episodes introducing the amazing hosts and their fascinating research too! #virus #marsupial

Ep4 of our ResearchBytesPodcast is up! Our first ever guest is Emma Harding, a #paleovirologist at the White lab UNSW. Emma talks to us about viral fossils, and how her research may improve the #conservation of #marsupials in the future. #STEM #ResBytes #PhdChat #Scicomm

Emma Harding White lab UNSW UNSW Biotechnology & Biomolecular Sciences I use a combination of #bioinformatics and wet lab work to study endogenous viral elements in animals, with a focus on Australian marsupials like the #TasmanianDevil, #koala, #wallaby, #dunnart and #possum!

And that's a wrap from me Emma Harding 👩‍🔬 for this week as your AVS ambassador! I'm handing over to Matthew Gartner for next week 🥂 I've enjoyed sharing the #virus research from White lab UNSW and look forward to seeing everyone at #AVS11 next month 🗓️ Flashback to me at #AVS10⬇️
