Excited to share my first, first author paper which has just been published in @eLife. We show that a micronutrient deficiency is what limits lifespan on high protein diets! Thanks to my amazing supervisors @mattpiperlab @ChristenMirth and Carla Sgro. elifesciences.org/articles/62335

In case you missed this. I’ve been including this possibility in lectures for 25 years - sad to see #ClimateEmergency abc.net.au/news/2023-07-2…

@salty_daSilva @mqnatsci So happy for you Carmen and so so proud of you!!

@fcamus @SEBiology Hope you all have the best time!

We're looking for a PhD student to join us on an exciting project funded by @arc_gov_au looking into the maternal gut #microbiome and the impact it has on the offspring at @MonashUni @MonashBiol Details at findaphd.com/phds/projectde…

@TravisKJohnson @SABE_latrobe @LIMSLTU So exciting!!

The Johnson Lab has finally landed @SABE_latrobe @LIMSLTU ! Let the science begin (once we’ve unpacked) 😅! 🪰

@SamIAm_666 @MonashBiol @UCLCBER @EMBO Definitely! I’ll be on campus from 5th of June :)

@BrookeZanco @MonashBiol @UCLCBER @EMBO I want to talk to you about insects and sterols when you arrive.

Today’s my last day at @MonashBiol before I head off to @UCLCBER for my first postdoc thanks to @EMBO 🥲 I’m so grateful to have had the most phenomenal supervisors and to have been a part of the Piper, Mirth and Sgro labs. I don’t know who will pose for my ridiculous photos now

@StuartWigby 😂😂

@jonrbridle @MonashBiol @UCLCBER @EMBO So excited!

@BrookeZanco @MonashBiol @UCLCBER @EMBO Looking forward to you joining us v soon Brooke...! 🌿🐛🦋✨

@TravisKJohnson @AvishiktaC @latrobe @LIMSLTU Congrats Trav! So excited for you

Hello @latrobe! What a beautiful day to start my new position @LIMSLTU! Couldn’t be more excited for the great discoveries ahead, and to work with such a fantastic teams of researchers and educators. #Drosophila research is alive and well in this part of town! 🪰

What happens if you manipulate the major nutritional determinant of lifespan (sterols) independently of the major nutritional determinant of egg production? @BrookeZanco et al found mothers live longer and lay more eggs on high sterol diets. reader.elsevier.com/reader/sd/pii/… @mattpiperlab

@salty_daSilva @OliGriffith @pipilika_aj @Macquarie_Uni @mqnatsci Congrats Carmen! So proud of you 🧡

@_Emma_Ramsay @MonashUni @StevenChown1 @Grant_Duffy @Chownlab Congrats Emma!!!

@AvishiktaC Ohhhh thank you Avi 💕

Fantastic final review by @BrookeZanco Some of the best work on sterols affecting lifespan and fecundity. Congratulations on giving a fabulous talk..such cool results!! Can't wait to call you Dr. Zanco super soon 🤩🤩🎉🎉😘😘

@AvishiktaC @ChristenMirth @MonashBiol @Monash_Science Congrats you amazing woman!

Submitted PhD thesis 10th Dec. Received reviews today...STRAIGHT PASS!! NO REVISIONS NEEDED!! I most definitely cannot believe, too surreal. Thank you @ChristenMirth and Carla Sgrò for being outstanding supervisors, making me realize my potential!! @MonashBiol @Monash_Science

Conservation documents for half of all critically endangered species don’t mention climate change theguardian.com/environment/20…

A very cool talk on native bees and their vulnerability to climate change by @salty_daSilva at #AUSEVO2021

#AUSEVO2021 Julian Beaman @Flinders and collabs looked into thermal adaptation in birds, particularly important for seabirds like Arctic auks. Adaptation occurs freq. perhaps due to past changing climates.

Amazing talk about phenotypic plasticity and climate change by @AvishiktaC at #AUSEVO2021

#AUSEVO2021 @BrookeZanco @MonashBiol explains how protein & carbohydrate micronutrients are important for increased reproduction and lifespans piperlab.org
