It's great to see you getting so much from our International Lab Visit scheme with PI @PenteluteLab. Do we refer to you now as Belinda Zhang #PeptidePirate? @arc_gov_au @PayneResearch

[Belinda Zhang @Z_belinda]

I’m loving catching up with old and new friends in Boston, and being one step closer to a pirate! Not to mention that the peptide synthesisers in the @PenteluteLab lab are oh soooo fast… @ARC_CIPPS
