What a sugar rush! Today was 2024 MIF Great Microscopy Bake-off UTS Science. Sponsored by Australian Institute for Microbiology & Infection & Nikon Microscope Solutions. Well done to all the winners. Thx to judges Iain Duggin Errin Johnson & Anthea Leonard. Expect more posts with details of each bake! Microscopy Australia UTS Research UTS

✨New paper in JClinMicro EIC✨ Due to PCR replacing culture for pertussis diagnosis, we no longer receive strains for genomic surveillance. Here we developed a new 9-target amplicon-seq assay which can directly type pertussis from leftover PCR samples. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/jc…

Australia is in its worst recorded pertussis outbreak since the introduction of vaccines. Pertussis may be more familiar to you as Whooping Cough. Want to know more? Read Laurence Luu 's paper + here is a NSW Health Fact Sheet: health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/fac… #WhoopingCough #Pertussis

A nice newsroom article highlighting our latest whooping cough culture-independent typing study unsw.edu.au/newsroom/news/…

Today is whooping cough awareness day and a perfect time to check that we are all up to date with our vaccines. Read more about the current state of whooping cough in Australia in ifa.org.au report card: static1.squarespace.com/static/5d13113…

Hippocampal neuroinflammation alters motivated behaviour in mice differently by sex. LPS increases neuronal activation in females but reduces it in males, disrupting memory and learning. 🧠🐁 #Neuroscience Look it up 👇 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Great day with microbiologists & clinicians discussing #AMR Prof Ruth Hall made a key point to not blindly draw conclusions from sequences in public databases w/o reading papers first Here's a recent AMR example on being misled from contaminated sequences journalofinfection.com/article/S0163-…

Wonderful experience presenting my ideas for improved anatomy teaching at the 2024 UTS Learning and Teaching Forum along with other colleagues from UTS Medical Science and other disciplines. #anatomy #education #UTS
