Our new paper is out in @PLOSPathogens thank you to everyone who worked on this! @alistair604 @KathrynAHussey @Dr_Sri_Ram @ROwen_93

Congratulations to Dr Kathryn Hussey who just passed her viva!!! @KathrynAHussey. All PhDs have challenges but Kathryn had a LOT of covid shaped ones. She showed so much resilience and perseverance. I could not be more proud of her and the work she produced! @sotonbiosci

[Dr Hannah Siddle @SiddleHannah]

Check it out!

Ever wondered what would happen when putting two transmissible cancers in a petri dish? 😈🥊🧫 Check out our new paper on the in vitro competition of two transmissible cancers in Tasmanian devils! https://t.co/w4jRfGDnt8

[Dr Hannah Siddle @SiddleHannah]

@ROwen_93 Oh gosh, yes that’s true!! I had almost pushed that from my mind 😂🫣

[Dr Hannah Siddle @SiddleHannah]

It was fantastic to watch these researchers work so well together! Also, thank you to wonderful co-authors for thinking up this project , getting funding and driving things forward! @BeataUjvari, Frederic Thomas, Rodrigo Hamede, @AMDujon, Benjamin Roche

[Dr Hannah Siddle @SiddleHannah]

Very proud of @AnneLise_Gerard and @ROwen_93 for this piece of work, investigating competition between two transmissible cancers in the Tasmanian devil - Evolutionary Applications https://t.co/Q50Rc1qfGJ 1/5

[Dr Hannah Siddle @SiddleHannah]

It turns out the younger cancer grows faster (at least in a dish) and has the potential to outcompete the older cancer. This may not be great news for the devil, a case of better the devil you know.

We got a AEA Seed grant!! Very excited to be testing a novel anti-tick vaccine in different cattle breeds. This is a new adventure for me and I’m lucky to have super colleagues, industry partners and mentors!! @QAAFI @AlaLTUQ @UniQuestUQ

[Australian Government Department of Education @AusGovEducation]

Twenty-four research projects have been awarded funding under Tranche Two of the AEA Seed Grants!

These grants will help leading entrepreneurial researchers translate world-class research into new industries, services and jobs of tomorrow.

Scientists have just mapped the entire genetic jigsaw of the brushtail possum - something that’ll help control the ubiquitous marsupial here, while conserving it across the ditch https://t.co/rxRJAF7NlR

[Dr Hannah Siddle @SiddleHannah]

Watch this clip to see how genomics can help us respond to invasive species AND conserve our natives. Beautifully explained by @DonnaBond_NZ and colleagues :)

[Hore lab @epi_otago]

Brushtail possums are the native mammal most likely to be in human contact in Australia and Aotearoa/NZ - protected in native Oz, but a pest in NZ. We sequenced their genes and found many surprises - read https://t.co/WIHizsJ5Dn or watch https://t.co/OvYEfA22i3 for more.....

[Dr Hannah Siddle @SiddleHannah]

@epi_otago Fantastic work! So good to see this in print :)
