@ASBTE1 @Polymer_Penny Many congratulations 🎉🎊 @Polymer_Penny

We are proud to announce that the 2023 ASBTE Award of Excellence goes to Penny Martens @Polymer_Penny. Thank you to Penny for all your contributions that have improved and shaped our society and research community. #asbte2023

Super helpful training reference for microscopy that I shared with my students MyScope: myscope.training Learn about microscopy, free training, and practice by simulation. Thanks @micro_au (supported by NCRIS)

@DrBryanCoad @ASBTE1 Thanks Bryan, appreciate your constant support, encouragement and critical feedbacks for finalizing this publication.

New paper on biomolecule immobilisation onto surfaces facilitated using glycidol plasma polymer. Great work from @dr_argha #OpenAccess #Biomaterials #Plasma @ASBTE1 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

We are pleased to share our research findings that extends the applicability of an industrially significant organic molecule 'glycidol'. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pp…

SERB launched a new scheme- State University Research Excellence (SERB-SURE)- to create a robust R&D ecosystem in state universities and colleges @Sandeep_1966

From today, I'm stepping into an additional role of Research Director (interim) for the Fight Food Waste CRC @FoodWasteCRC I'm looking forward to working with this fantastic team.

Introducing the 2022-2023 @ASBTE1 committee members. Looking forward to serving the society as President. Have a look at what we’re up to - covered in latest newsletter asbte.org/single-post/as… @YuSukChoi @DrBryanCoad @VGlattauer @JelenaRnjak @DrAnnaW_lab @Frithlab @MCAllenby

Great to engage with students and colleagues at the University of Bayreuth @unibt Biofabrication Summer School today to share on tissue engineering and plans for the ACMD @StVincentsMelb. Building our collaboration with support from @veskiorg @studymelbourne

@biointerphases @JavadNaderi63 @AVS_Members Nice work @JavadNaderi63

@DrBryanCoad Thanks Bryan!! So glad to have been able to record the hyphal movements.

Here are some bonus images that did not make it into the publication including one I like to call "the slalom". Great work by Argha Chakraborty and my co-authors Marek Jasieniak and Hans Griesser.

The floor is lava! Marvel at how suspension bridges formed by Candida albicans hyphae on the sides of nano pillars allow it to survive and avoid touching the lethal surface below coated in an antifungal compound. @ACS_ABM @ASBTE1 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
