The books of Isaac Asimov inspired Prof Arthur Georges FAA (University of Canberra) to pursue science. Now Arthur has made his own impact; his research into the complex thermal environment of nests has changed the way we understand sex determination in reptiles.

Proud to win the Ruby Payne Scott career award from the Australian Academy of Science. Ruby is one of my heroes; pioneer radio astronomer driven out of science when she became pregnant, called a disgrace to CSIRO.

Exciting to finally see our paper on the extension of mammalian pregnancy come out today in PNAS. With Marilyn Renfree Jessica S. Dudley & Gunter Wagner pnas.org/doi/epub/10.10…

75 years of discovery! ourANU #JCSMR celebrated its legacy with #Nobel Laureate Peter Doherty & pioneering research in genomics, immunology, & more. Here’s to 75 more years of advancing science! #JCSMR75 #ourANU #MedicalResearch Research at ANU Science & Medicine at ANU jcsmr.anu.edu.au/news-events/ne…

We are really proud that Prof Stuart Tangye and Dr Ira Deveson have been selected for the prestigious NSW Premier’s Prizes for Science & Engineering this year. Read more about their research here: ow.ly/NtUx50TXHFo

Hurray! Our paper on Nepali oral microbiome is out on Microbiome: shorturl.at/kF1i0 (1/7)

“Genomics is evolving so rapidly. It’s exhilarating knowing our work has the potential to transform how we approach disease diagnosis and treatment,” says Dr Ira Deveson, Head of the Genomic Technologies Lab. Learn more about this research here: ow.ly/OoS950TZTKc

Congratulations to Hasindu Gamaarachchi who has been awarded the 2024 ‘Torsten Seemann’ Outstanding Bioinformatics Software Developer Award from the ABACBS. This award recognises an outstanding early/mid-career bioinformatics software developer from the Australian community.

Such an inspiring morning spent celebrating the 2024 L'Oreal Australia UNESCO 🏛️ #Education #Sciences #Culture 🇺🇳 Fellows! For 26 years now, L'Oreal have supported talented females across the globe to shape the future of STEM 🙌 Misty Jenkins AO Leann Tilley Fern Koay 郭 Jenny Graves

We have made two submissions to the government’s National Digital Research Infrastructure (NDRI) plans in support of scientific research and innovation across Australia. Both submissions highlight the importance of strategic investment in high-performance computing and data

The latest hifiasm can directly assemble standard Oxford Nanopore simplex R10 reads, without HERRO correction or other preprocessing, to phased contigs of contiguity comparable to HiFi assembly. Like before, you can further add ultra-long, Hi-C or trio data for better assembly.

Saliva is proving to be a viable alternative for high-quality long-read sequencing! Researchers at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research used #PacBio Nanobind kits to extract DNA from years-old saliva samples, enabling groundbreaking insights. bit.ly/4gcV8T3

Hey All, please share & learn about this great summer program, that is conceived, led & taught by Indigenous scholars to Indigenous students! It's a groundbreaking concept, Indigenous Data Sovereignty #IDSov & protecting resources for Indigenous people's own exclusive benefit.
