So each year I fly my alternative #ausflag design. It usually elicits a visceral response #auspol #changethedate

Our new paper shows how we can upconvert light more efficiently in nanostructured devices.

Pondering...
I've worked in AU since 2010, started as an academic. Since then I've given ~400-500 invited talks of various sorts all around the world, from APS to SXSW.
I've only been invited to give ~5 talks in AU universities. The last in ~2015.

TRIGGER WARNING
In 1943 Japanese officer Chikao beheaded Australian POW Leonard Siffleet.
Australia demanded justice for this war crime.
BRS is charged with killing a handcuffed Afghan POW. Would those who argue BRS should not be tried have said, 'I stand with Yasuno Chikao'?

Sure, because the vaccine was made by UNSW RNA Institute. @UNSWRNA AI did data analysis. It’s good for that. Sequencing was by @ramacgenomics at UNSW
Prof. Lee Cronin@leecronin
Using chatgpt & alpha fold to make a cancer vaccine makes no sense on so many levels but of course everyone will believe it.

@martinalexsmith @NathanpmYoung Probably worth pointing out that while UNSW has been able to sequence DNA for decades, the UNSW RNA institute was set up in response to COVID with serious cash from state government. @PalliThordarson has done a great job to bring us to this level of capability in a short time
English
@NathanpmYoung Story is legit: We did all the sequencing for Paul. Several university professors involved. We need more time to perform follow up experiments to see exactly which immune mechanisms are involved, and why a few tumours did not respond, but the takeaway is that this works!

I can understand if this story is false but Patrick’s take seems confusing.
Many people would pay $100,000s to cure a loved one of cancer. Either that’s possible or it’s not.

Sorry to be the downer because this is an impressive story in some senses. But it is ~trivially easy to make a single mRNA vaccine. It's not hard. I cure mice of various cancers with various therapeutics all the time. I've made mice lose more weight in a month than tirzepatide does in a year. What is hard and expensive is proving its BOTH safe AND effective **in a randomized and controlled study in humans** while ALSO manufacturing it at clinical scale and grade. I am happy for this man and his dog. It is impressive. But y'all are overhyping it.

Proud with @UNSWRNA to have been involved & making the mRNA-LNP for Rosie. There are nuances here that the thread below misses but nevertheless, the intersection of RNA technology, genomic & AI poses an opportunity to change the way do medicine and make access more equitable 1/8
Greg Brockman@gdb
How AI empowered Paul Conyngham to create a custom mRNA vaccine to cure his dog’s cancer when she had only months to live. The first personalized cancer vaccine designed for a dog:

Great story from @UNSW showing the future of personalised cancer vaccines driven by #RNA #chemistry. The School of Chemistry’s Pall Thordarson who directs the UNSW RNA institute is leading the way with the Ramaciotti Centre for Genomics, UNSW. theaustralian.com.au/business/techn…

@schmidtim Hardly think a grifting Trump Tower is progress

That building will cast a shadow onto the beach from about midday.

@schmidtim The proposal is far from a done deal, with the Gold Coast City Council saying that a development application had yet to be received.

Mad about Kosciuszko, Bern?

Seems crazy that in an English-speaking country the government keeps coming up with place and street names most people can’t pronounce. One Nation will preserve traditional names linked to our shared history and restore them where necessary. This silliness needs to stop.

@LindaV_cartees @David4927354841 @stephaniemain2 We called it a double but parents called it a double dink!

@David4927354841 @stephaniemain2 It's doubling, never heard of dinking

What did you call giving someone a lift on your bike? We called them "backies"

@cjayjay49 @WeichAndre @NoContextCounty Yep he gets a reaction and then says “geez Aussies are shit and banter innit”
