Cuttlefish and seahorses and jellyfish, oh my! I had a great time hanging out with the lab at the @bmh2024Melb conference social event at @melbaquarium last night. We even saw Pesto, the huge baby penguin! It’s a bit sad that the conference is almost over! @unswbabs

Thank you @bmh2024Melb for making my Pesto dreams come true!!! 🐧⛄ #bmh2024 #PestoThePenguin #bigboi

At the @bmh2024Melb Welcome Reception tonight I patted a snake with lab members @sonia_goozee & @MichaelODear & caught up with old friends!

DNA folds, but what are the instructions? Are there specific steps that keep genes repressed? And what does this all mean for the treatment of sickle cell anemia? Visit poster 393 at lunch today to find out! #bmh2024 @bmh2024Melb 🧬🩸💉

🌈 Spent a colorful day recently at Clovelly Public School with @CSIRO’s STEM Professionals in Schools program! We explored natural selection with jelly beans and colored in peppered moths in changing environments. Thanks for having me! @UNSWBABS #STEMeducation

Adored this morning's talk from @MariekeOudelaar on determinants of chromatin conformation in yeast. Especially loved the reproduction of nucleosome positioning from scratch in vitro. Great start to the final day of #ICG2023 @Genetics2023

[Michael O'Dea @MichaelODear]

The cure for sickle cell anemia is in our cells. To find out how, please drop by poster 548. I'll be there from 12:30-1:30 today and Friday @Genetics2023 #ICG2023

Today, @MahdiHaddad_, @MichaelODear & @AntheaLee12 from our team competed in the @UNSWScience 1 minute thesis competition, communicating their PhD research in just 1 minute! @MichaelODear won best @UNSWBABS presentation & @AntheaLee12 was 1 of 3 best overall! Well done all!

I had so much fun giving my first ever conference presentation at #ASMRNSWASM2023 and was very humbled to receive the prize for best lightning talk. Big thanks to the organizers for putting together such a great event @TheASMR1 @UNSWBABS

@scidocmartin @GenomeConf @hilsomartin @JoelPMackay Thanks Jen! Your comment about using Twitter to amplify the voices of others is what convinced me to sign up in the first place!

[Michael O'Dea @MichaelODear]

Had an absolute blast presenting my very first poster at @GenomeConf this week. Thank you to everyone who took the time to chat with me about my research. So many great talks too - @scidocmartin, @hilsomartin & @JoelPMackay were my personal favourites.
