Hey crystallographers - Who knew there was still more in the concanavalin A story? Some great work from Samuel Nonis

'Australian scientist and mRNA vaccine advocate Archa Fox, and her wild childhood in the Orange People sect' on ABC News today..from me. Thanks to Dr. Archa Fox for sharing her story. Many are connecting parts of her childhood experience with their own.... abc.net.au/news/science/2…

Some nice-looking project ideas there Gavin!

Why you don’t need to worry about the mRNA vaccines being synthetic… Charlie Bond and I wrote for the The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand A molecule is a molecule is a molecule, no matter if it is made inside a cell or not!

Maybe you can forward our article to a vaccine hesitant person? Dr. Archa Fox You don't need to worry about COVID vaccines being 'unnatural' or 'synthetic' via The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand theconversation.com/you-dont-need-…

My delight at being successful with an ARC Discovery Grant is tinged with dismay that the minister has vetoed some grants that relate to climate, religion and China. Censorship is not in the Australian national interest (nor is burying the announcement on Xmas Eve).

An overlooked family of HTH-domain proteins activate and 'anti-activate' gene transfer. Monumental effort from co-1st-authors Dr's Will Jowsey, Dr Calum Morris and Drew Hall in a colab between Clive Ronson, Charlie Bond, Joel Mackay and Josh Ramsay labs doi.org/10.1093/nar/gk…

It was a privilege and fun to speak in the opening ceremony of #IUCr2023 as President of SCANZ and seeing many of the 1800 attendees from around the world in the audience. I do wonder if I need to start a campaign for taller lecterns!

A bonding experience at #IUCr2030 SCANZ with Brady Johnston and Anu.

Today, we're mesmerized by the #BigDiamond model — aiming to be the world’s biggest crystal structure — being built by attendees at #IUCr2023. #BraggYourPattern x.com/SBattenResearc…

Fantastic seeing this come together ⁦SCANZ⁩ ⁦IUCr2023⁩ #braggyourpattern

Yes - as far as the eye can see -this should never have become political. It is simply about a much needed advisory committee and long overdue recognition. Nobody loses except the politicians who used this as a football.

That’s awesome Josh :)

We are glad to be part of a new study by Mihwa Lee, Charlie Bond, and Dr. Archa Fox on the differential contribution of low-complexity regions of SFPQ in biomolecular condensate formation, just published in Journal of Molecular Biology. Congrats Andrew C Marshall! doi.org/10.1016/j.jmb.….

Great collaborative project Nick! It’s fantastic working with you.
