I was honored to return to my rural high school today to give a speech about my journey in science so far as a young researcher. It was particularly wonderful to deliver this speech on #IDWGS2021, and show young rural girls that a STEM career is achievable for them too.

An inspiring way to start the morning and great to participate in the discussion around all kinds of diversity in STEMM fields. Thank you @WinC_RACI_VIC @RACInational for organizing this event! #GWB2021 #WomenInScience #DiversityinScience #OzChem

My first first author paper published in @jbiolchem! I’m very excited to see my PhD work out there and thank you to everyone that helped make it happen. @DrSheenaMcGowan @scatkinso @bluesocks81 jbc.org/article/S0021-…

Submission day at last! It has been an amazing 3.5 years! Thank you to everyone who has supported me and to all those who made my socially distanced hand in day special.

Unsure if I actually want to make sourdough or just caving to social pressures...

This will be me cheering from the couch!

#PhD students and #coronavirus Multiple recent conversations with PhD students at multiple institutions in multiple countries have prompted this little thread on just a few of the anxieties many of you may be feeling now. First and foremost; you are not alone. 1/8

Perhaps I’ve spent too long looking at protein structures today, but this shirt seems to be covered in little alpha helices? @LorneProteins

Just in time for thesis writing! Thanks for the (what I’m sure will be) life changing tip @kaczmarski_joe !!

So proud to be awarded a poster prize at IPS2019, and excited that I’m not the only one that thinks Plasmodium M17 metalloaminopeptidases are pretty cool!

A brilliant week of protease research at @IPS2019 in Marianske Lazne, Czech Republic. Thanks to @IntProtSoc for their support to travel across the world to present my PhD research!
