Beautiful views flying to Thursday Island today for discussions of the tropical rock lobster #StockAssessment #fisheries #TorresStrait #CSIRO #PanulirusOrnatus

Is everyone else also trying to finish everything before Christmas- I’m exhausted but productivity boosted thanks to @laurablamey providing festive snacks for one of our #CSIRO team meetings! Also celebrating that our #OceansAndAtmosphere group now merged to form bigger #Environment #research group

Centre of Excellence in Synthetic Biology conference
A brilliant keynote presentation from Paul Freemont about the trajectory of SynBio and engineering biology, cell free technology development at #ImperialCollegeLondon , and the economic justification for investment in bioengineering and bio-manufacture scale-up.

Centre of Excellence in Synthetic Biology conference
Inspirational and inspired keynote presentation by Howard Salis, #PennStateUniversity, that moved from reliable, systematic design of organisms (so cool) to saving the planet from CO2 with Picochlorum celeri (even cooler). Yes, take the pun and run with it.

Day 3 of the Centre of Excellence in Synthetic Biology conference. A keynote address by the fantastic Aditi Mankad presenting social science research on public perceptions and acceptance of SynBio solutions to critical environmental and health challenges.
My take away, we are ruled by our emotions.

What are #GinkgoBioworks doing in bio-surveillance and bio-engineering?
More from the interesting presentation by Tom Knight at the Centre of Excellence in Synthetic Biology 2022 conference.
One take away message, #SequenceAllTheThings

What are #GinkgoBioworks doing to drive their experimental reach?
An interesting presentation by Tom Knight at the Centre of Excellence in Synthetic Biology 2022 conference.
One take away message, scale matters.

2022 Conference.
Lightening talks from the lead investigators in the Centre of Excellence, Synthetic Biology. A 3 minute limit! How many stuck to the limit?
Lightening and enlightening 😄

Day 2 of the conference, great keynote and history of the ARC Centre of Excellence, Synthetic Biology by Ian Paulsen #MacquarieUniversity

A busy week for our #research team starting to analyse the data just in from our #CSIRO #dive team’s 34th annual #survey of #tropical #RockLobster in #TorresStrait. These stunning 3 yr old spiny #lobster migrate out of Torres Strait to spawn each year, walking an incredible 480km to breeding grounds - I think of them as #Australia ‘s wildebeest equivalent 😂 #PanulirusOrnatus #ThursdayIsland #AnimalColouration #StockAssessment #fisheries

The CSIRO’s State of the Climate biennial report released on Wednesday details Australia’s changing climate now and into the future.
It warns that the country’s climate has warmed by 1.47C degrees with concentrations of greenhouse gases the highest levels seen on Earth in at least two million years.

State of the #Climate 2022 report for #Australia is now out, work by #CSIRO and #BOM.

No surprises:

". . . extreme heat, heavy rainfall and coastal inundation, fire weather and drought—have a large impact on the health and well-being of our communities and ecosystems. These changes are happening at an increased pace . . ."

Bottom line: #ClimateChange is getting worse at an increasingly fast rate. All hands on deck.

State of the #climate report is out, Well done #BOM and #CSIRO for putting together this resource, which is so accessible to the public. https://www.csiro.au/en/research/environmental-impacts/climate-change/state-of-the-climate

#introduction
I work as an almost-finished #postdoc for the #CSIRO using fungal pathogens for #biocontrol of #weeds.
RN I target #Sporobolus grasses, previously #parkinsonia. I use #genetics more than traditional #mycology. But I’m also President of the Australasian Myco Society🤷🏼‍♀️
I’ve got new interests in airborne #eDNA with a cool collab starting soon. 
My other passions lie in being a mum, connecting people with others & creating opportunities. I also play soccer and love hosting a party 🎊
