Got to visit CSIRO Lucas Heights a couple of weeks ago for a collaboration we're doing!!

Remember to stay safe and wash your hands 😱😱 (credit to my mum who knitted this for me!)

My poster for #WasteManagement21 wasn't uploaded 😢maturation of insect synthetic biology could help divert organic waste from landfill, and be a part of the technological innovations that help solve our climate crisis 🗑️💪🪰 youtube.com/watch?v=PlOo2m…

Very excited to share our work exploring the potential of using engineered animals for biomanufacturing, bioremediation, and waste management. Watch this space - lots more on the way! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… Congrats Michael Clark and Kate Tepper

I've got high hopes for our newest lab member!

Our poster session is filled with buzz! With 42 posters being presented, the room is filled with research and #synbio chatter #CoESB #ScienceResearch #PosterSession

"Usually the butt of jokes and objects of revulsion, it’s time we started listening to the message of the Australian white ibis." Our smelly canary: australiangeographic.com.au/topics/wildlif…

The Black Soldier Fly that I drew for my #CoESB conference poster. They have hypnotic eyes AND they can rapidly process large quantities of a wide variety of organic wastes 🪰♥️

I keep hearing respected people go on podcasts or give interviews where they say we can't go to Mars because of perchlorates. This is silly. So I made this graphic. The piece in the middle is really all you need to read.

For #EarthDay, get inspired by 3 #synbio papers that take on environmental challenges: 3. Maciej Maselko and colleagues Macquarie University CSIRO engineer Drosophila to express a fungal laccase that degrades the endocrine disruptor bisphenol A. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Introducing our co-chairs for the night #teamchair 👏👏

Very excited to share our preprint demonstrating that animals can be engineered to bioremediate methylmercury! Amazing work by Kate Tepper biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Mercury bioremediation has legs! We engineered animals with microbial enzymes to remove methylmercury in their biomass as atmospheric mercury ⚛️💪🪰🐟🎉 doi.org/10.1101/2023.1…

Reduce, reuse, reflycle! Black soldier flies that are already used industrially to process organic wastes could be engineered to biomanufacture a large variety of high value biomolecules and clean up pollution 🗑️💪🪰 doi.org/10.1038/s42003…
