Stellar presentation from @ywan_wan filled with so many great RNA analogies #Shinedalgarno50 #ARNA2023 #RNA

An absolute treat to be in the beautiful @ShineDome hear to John Shine and Lynn Dalgarno recount their discovery of the Shine-Dalgarno sequence #SDCRNA23 #RNA #ShineDalgarno50

Nice article about the brand new respiratory syncytial virus (#RSV) #vaccine that's now approved by the FDA - which paves the way for use in AUS theconversation.com/rsv-we-finally…

I couldn't live on $49 a day. No one can. We need to raise the rate of JobSeeker above the poverty line.

Huge amount of work from all involved to get SPIKEVAX from provisional to full registration🎉🎉🎉

Really disappointed that Labor voted against my amendment to extend the Paid Parental Leave scheme to PhD students. This is a cruel and gaping oversight by the government. This is why PhD students deserve PPL and significantly higher stipends:

Its happening! The latest @InhaledOxytocin endeavour is recruiting - please share if you know someone who would like to get involved❤️❤️❤️ nucleusnetwork.com/au/participate…

@YiLing_Low @MIPS_Australia Congrats <3 <3

Today marks a significant milestone for me and my family. After 4 years of hard work at @MIPS_Australia , I have finally achieve what I set out to do. I am so grateful for everyone that has helped me through this journey. Without you all, I will not have been able to do it!

Love this from the @TGAgovau - Will certainly take a while for for suffers of treatment-resistant depression and PTSD to get (meaningful) access but promising first steps nonetheless tga.gov.au/news/media-rel…

Absolutely wild (in a good way) to imagine the development pipeline without preclinical animal testing science.org/content/articl…
