📣 UNSW #PhD / HDR candidates, we've heard you...

To help ease cost-of-living pressures, we'll be increasing stipends for HDR scholarships to $35,000 in 2023 and $37,684 in 2024.

The increase will apply to all new and current scholarship holders with scholarships under $35k. 👇

Keen to be able to present at my first conference with all of these awesome scientists!

[Dr Rachelle Balez👩🏽‍🔬🧠🔬👩🏽‍🎨 @chellebalez]

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve presented at a conference thanks to 🦠 so it was great practicing our talks together for @ProteostasisAU next week. Excited to share our science 🔬@EmmaJProctor @Dzung_doha @NickMarzano_ @DrNickGeraghty @BellaAnnLambert @TomWalker281

Unstoppable!

Professor @jjyerbury @uowresearch leads a research program that has challenged prevailing thought about the pathology of Motor Neuron Disease, a degenerative disease with no known cure. #MND

[Proteostasis & Disease Symposium @ProteostasisAU]

Hello World! We are delighted to announce the 4th Proteostasis & Disease Symposium is set for November 21-23 2022.

Stay tuned for a brand new website coming soon. In the meantime check out #proteostasis2017 for all our past highlights, and here's a sneak peak of what's in store!

@EmmaLScotter @DavidWSanders2 @ElliotDine @jjyerbury @brangwynnelab @ShorterLabGroup @YSPTSPS @realToddLab @DormannL @LukeMcAlary Try 300mM NaCl in your media

[Thomas Walker @TomWalker281]

@EmmaLScotter @ElliotDine @jjyerbury @brangwynnelab @ShorterLabGroup @YSPTSPS @realToddLab @DormannL @LukeMcAlary @DavidWSanders2 300 mM NaCl in media for 1 hour also works for U2OS cells, as does heat shock at 43C for 2 hours. However, the time that cells are exposed to a stress and the type of stress itself seem to affect composition and morphology of SGs.

A 2019 report found that only 10% of employed scientists reported having a disability, which is half the percentage for undergraduates. 🔬Molecular biologist @jjyerbury speaks on how we can help end the stigma around disabilities in the #STEM field.
