[Canberra Protein Group @CanberraPG]

Our next CPG meeting is fast approaching!

On Friday 26th May, the theme for the meeting will be "High-throughput Methods", with an excellent line up of speakers to deliver what will be a fantastic discussion on their topics.

Looking forward to seeing you all there!

Big news!! We are proud to officially announce that we have raised $54 million AUD (about $34.7 million USD) in Series A funding. We are planning to build our first plastic recycling facility in Melbourne later this year, with the target of full-scale production by 2023.

Has anybody ever told you that you're "not a real chemist"? Then apply for a continuing (tenure) group leader job at the Australian National University! It's buried in the description but we especially want applicants in PROTEIN CHEMISTRY and MATERIALS

I wrote a thing for ⁦@Nature⁩ outlining 3 common workplace gender equality mistakes:
1 Focusing on quantity rather than the quality of women’s experiences
2 Initiatives that try to fix women rather than change systems
3 An overestimation of progress https://t.co/alrG4wc4ZI

Cassidy's (@cass_whitefield) first first-author paper of her PhD where she'd made heparanase for the people (can be easily made in E. coli). Well done Cass! We used PROSS from Sarel Fleishman's group at the Weizmann.
