Very interesting talk from my PhD colleague @Mel_in_Science (@K_RenfreeShort lab), discussing how DIZE can potentially modulate the RAAS system to reduce severity of IAV and SARS-CoV-2 infection. Great session at AVS12.

Thrilled to be at Options XII right here in our hometown of Brisbane, Australia! Two years ago, Options XI meant a marathon 36-hour plane ride. Today, it was just a quick 15-minute bus ride. So happy to be part of the amazing event! #optionsxii

Mind blowing to see two hurricanes, #HurricaneJohn on the left (west coast of Mexico), and #HurricaneHelene (Big Bend region of Florida) on the right, both making landfall at nearly the same time. #Helene #John

The H5N1 strain of bird flu is rapidly spreading to new territories and animal species.

#UQ’s Prof Kirsty Short says it’s concerning to see the virus spreading to places where it previously hasn’t been an issue.
