Can evolutionary processes alter tipping points and protect ecological communites from collapse? Christopher Blake et al found adaptation of key species can shift tipping points - promoting ecological stability or accelerating collapse. nature.com/articles/s4155… Michael J. McDonald

Amazing first session of #ClimateChangeDay of #BMH2024! Some fascinating talks about how we can use the combo of microbiology, molecular biology and biochemistry to help to mitigate #GHG emissions (particularly in the agricultural space)!

Last time I was at the Plenary at MCEC was for Nick Cave. Today, Jade Kannangara from our lab rocked that very stage Biomolecular Horizons 2024 presenting her research on the evolutionary implications of mitochondrial heteroplasmy in response to thermal selection.

In our defense we study swimming, not jumping. Happy UNSW Biotechnology & Biomolecular Sciences lab photo Biomolecular Horizons 2024 - our first #squad conference all together since 2021! #bmh2024

It’s been six long years since Melbourne was announced as host city. Through ups and downs (and ups again), it’s now only just a day away🥹

It looks like I never posted anything (*but see below) on what are probably the most surprising results my lab obtained so far. Anyway, this work—led by an outstanding former PhD student Sarah Ardell in collaboration with Milo Johnson—is now published: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

If our most experienced full-time researchers nominate, the NHMRC will give the best possible reviews in 2025. NHMRC

This week the lab broke into “adventure microbiology” mode. Today the newest student in the lab, Mighty Max was out on a boat sinking #phage traps in the Pacific Ocean and postdoc Jan was sampling at fresh water Salmon sites! Adventure!!! 🐟 🐟 🐟 🍣 🍣 🍣

⁦MACSYS-CoE⁩ we use mathematics to predict biology, from simple cell behaviors to the evolution of #AMR. Interested? There’s a week or so left to the deadline for a postdoc position in my lab for a microbiologist or molecular biologist monash.edu/jobs/template

The year is flying past, so thought I’d better share the happy news that I’m joining the School of Biological Sciences at Monash University @monashbiol as a Group Leader from Jan 2025. Couldn't be more thrilled to be returning to the place that introduced me to research as an undergrad!
