I'm cycling 2,000 km in 2 weeks to raise money for 2 ecosystem restoration charities in S. Australia––Trees for Life & The Forktree Project.

The challenge involves oodles of hill climbing (> 2 Mount Everests!)

Excited to share our latest paper showing that sound boosts the growth of 'friendly' fungi! 🎶🍄

T. harzianum growth & sporulation increased when stimulated with a vintage-radio-like white noise.

We're hoping to develop this to aid soil restoration.

Applying for an ARC DECRA or Future Fellowship?

Here's some advice ARC or your research office won't tell you.

Based on experience (I've been fortunate enough to have sponsored/hosted 6 ARC fellows, and held 3 fellowships)
