Congratulations to ON alumni @HydgeneR and their UK partner Nium on being awarded $2.265M in grants from the Australian Government for their groundbreaking work in sustainable solutions. We recently spent time with their CEO to hear about their journey: vimeo.com/896032983

A bit of a Friday brainbuster and your chance to win a book! This puzzle recently saw the claim that only 1% of people could solve it. No idea if that’s true, but I will send a signed copy of one of my books to a few randomly chosen people who correctly answer the puzzle.

@DoctorKarl Two questions. 1. What % of dairy farms are realistically suitable for crops like soy, oats, almonds, rice? 2. If it is a small percentage then why are we making these comparisons?

Can anyone suggest an easy way to measure mRNA binding to a protein? Would like to avoid radioactive labels and complicated protocols. thinking of just binding the (His-tag) proteins to nickel column, running RNA thru it and measuring A260 of eluate vs control. Too simplistic?

How many shades of grey does my hair have to ascend through before I update my 12 year old photo on uni website.

@greeninglab @abcnews @Macquarie_Uni Fantastic piece of work. Agree my reported comments regarding a question about powering a watch missed the point of this work. I did emphasize this was not the key point, but…

Fantastic @abcnews covered our new Nature paper, but @Macquarie_Uni comments miss the point. abc.net.au/news/2023-03-0… From a fundamental angle, we've characterised the first catalyst that can extract energy from air and this is a major breakthrough. From applied angle... (1/2)
