Helicoverpa armigera genomic resources get better and better thanks to Yidong Wu and team. https://t.co/KFzhQlGSVX.

I am very pleased that beautiful work by @JackLScanlan has been published https://t.co/pBr96UjMpg. Experiments featuring nested CRISPR knockouts make a compelling case that Ecdysone kinase-like enzymes are detoxifiers.

@ALeighMP Andrew Leigh speaks for me!

Courses cut in everything from languages to engineering. Campuses closing. International education in chaos. Tens of thousands of job losses (ANU has been literally decimated).

There has never been a more anti-university government than this one https://t.co/fm8OeCLFMF #auspol

Golden tortoise beetles (Aspidimorpha sanctaecrucis) become a brilliant shade of gold once they hit adulthood. But it's not the only remarkable thing about them.

Their main defence mechanism is a faecal shield. 💩

A big congrats to Felipe Martelli, Phil Batterham @BioSci_UniMelb and team on PNAS paper just out. https://t.co/ObrzxNVvaq. Low doses of insecticides matter!

I got a great opportunity to work with a grad student to turn her research into stained glass! A pair of mating fruit flies and a female fruit fly reproductive tract.

And some of these putative sweep haplotypes look funky - but I didn't find anything really suggesting bonobo introgression, and could just be a reflection of complex and myriad selection pressures on these important cell surface receptors

(1/n) Excited to share Handyfuge-LAMP; a low-cost & electricity-free centrifugation for isothermal SARS-CoV-2 detection in saliva. With COVID19 cases increasing globally, diagnostics needs to be accessible to everyone - including resource limited regions https://t.co/3T5qaEWFp9

Thrilled to announce that @JackLScanlan now has a first author paper! It identifies the genes that encode ‘detoxification-by-phosphorylation’. https://t.co/xeNJg89eCT. He is also giving his PhD swansong by zoom 2pm Friday.
