Faamalo faafetai (congratulations) Seeseei. Great to see you earn this award on International Women's Day.

YPD s'more?

This is durian. Chemists identified ~45 molecules that make up durian’s odor covering a variety of smells: honey, roasted onion, caramel, skunk & rotten egg. A recent study narrowed those down to just two molecules the researchers say can mimic the fruit’s overall smell.

Congratulations Jeanne!!! Love the shirt too reflecting your previous work on fungi (yeast).

Proud to be part of an upcoming public lecture at the Florey with my colleague Ya Hui Hung and Mandy from @NiemannPickOz - we will talk about how clinicians and researchers can partner with families in ultra-rare disease: florey.edu.au/events/niemann…
