Sacha @sbpulsford just published her very nice paper on allosteric regulation of carbonic anhydrase https://t.co/NADmJMzQ2W I love allostery and conformational selection. @botbml just started new group at Newcastle too - nice start!
Our work led by @taylorszyszka on shape-shifting encapsulin protein cages is now available in full formatting @PNASNews
If you haven't read it yet, you should really see the power that a single point mutation holds..

So excited to finally share this project!
We've discovered #seekRNA -a new #RNA that can be reprogrammed to take any cargo DNA and insert it into any target DNA sequence. This has big implications for gene editing and biotech.
Read the fascinating story👇

My recent chat with @taylorszyszka was all about boosting crop yields, building nano-reactors and making science hilarious! Listen to the latest "Travelling Science" Podcast.

A nice way to finish off the week at the @ARC_CoESB annual retreat 🏖️, recognition for Eric, @taylorszyszka, and Felicia for their fantastic talk/poster/outreach activities!
Congrats team 🤩
@SydneyChemistry
And the top prize goes to @LachlanAdamson1 ! Huge congratulations to all of the incredible speakers at today's Thompson Prize. So much great science and camaraderie. Well done!
The preprint on our PAINS working with the reported inhibitor PIP-199 is now formally published in J Med Chem @ACSBioMed

Congrats @SumyeeWoo@haritha_26 and Lisa for this important inhibitor (de)validation work
WEHI’s National Drug Discovery Centre has announced new research projects as beneficiaries of Australian Government subsidies to access the centre’s screening technologies 🧵1/3
First batch of reagents ready for the @_breakinggood high school workshops today - very excited to have students in the lab working on synthesising novel drug candidates! #CitizenScience#DrugDiscovery
We have a preprint out on a chemically unstable false positive inhibitor PIP-199. Don't use it.
If you're a biologist working on telomeres/ALT, Fanconi Anemia or Bloom's...
Or med chemist working on Mannich scaffolds with indoles...
Read on (1/6)

'Dismay and incredulity' that education-focussed roles are seen by @Sydney_Uni management as just a way to reduce costs by extractive labour. Quite a bombshell here from Derrick Armstrong, 2008-2013 DVC (Education) at the university, responsible for introducing EFRs.
USyd colleagues: I was an academic rep on the NTEU bargaining team for 18 months. Now that I also have a little distance, I’d like to share some honest thoughts about what has gone wrong this round (very long thread)
Fact-sheet from @NTEUnion on @Sydney_Uni management's wage offer and why we're rejecting it. This is one reason we're on strike again next Thursday. There's no reason this couldn't be solved quickly. We've compromised a lot in negotiations. Now it's their turn. #USydStrike
Well done to our @beansymposium student organising committee - these are the people you brought together from across Aus
#BEANS22 is an amazing all-student-run and student/ECR-focused grassroots meeting covering diverse topics across bio/ nano engineering! Until next time...🫘
Thanks to invited speakers Dr. David Jacques, @GiselleYeo , @Yi_Shen_ , @AlexanderFMason - as well as everyone else who spoke or had a poster - for their wonderful presentations! I honestly can say I enjoyed every single presentation from the day!
