Every morning at UK time, always receive greetings from Australia, mainly asking how is the potatoes in UK.
Broadcasting: I didn’t eat potatoes at UK😝

Taking bus back from work indeed triggered me! How could both buses charge me under an Australian city name, making me so sick of missing my beautiful life in Australia🤣🍧🍖🍗🧋🥘🥟🍜🍱🍔🍛

[Xinyu Wu @XinyuWu_]

Time to say goodbye to Melbourne, my favourite city with lovely people!

Thank you all for eating brekkie, brunch, lunch, arvo bubble tea & doing science with me.

Serenade my supervisors for “raising me up” & “My appreciating heart will go on”

Time for next chapter!

Celebrating today with a lovely gift from my colleagues to mark the completion of my PhD @WEHI_research. Yes, we love watermelon, KFC, and deep mutational scanning. 🧪🍉🍗Time to kick off the postdoc chapter. 🚀 #phdlife #DMS #postdoc

[WEHI (Walter and Eliza Hall Institute) @WEHI_research]

WEHI researchers have gained new insight into Papain-like protease (PLpro), a key protein in SARS-CoV-2. They studied how PLpro works to aid virus replication, #immune evasion, and how to inhibit this process.

It is also such a fortune to have my research on @NatureComms @NaturePortfolio. Big thanks to the editors team and reviewers.

[Xinyu Wu @XinyuWu_]

I’m very excited to share my first paper that is finally out on Nature Comms! It is about our favourite #DMS#PLpro. Thanks to our collaborators, best supervisors ⁦⁦@komander_lab⁩, Matthew Call ⁦@call_mc1⁩. Great to be ⁦@WEHI_research⁩ https://t.co/OHJCDbtQlj
