We're proud to support the fantastic Phoenix School Program, which diverts #STEM equipment destined for disposal to schools in need. We've just donated quantities of more than 85 of our lab products to 5 schools! bit.ly/3AT4Uoh #scienceweek #merckanz #sustainability

There is much evidence for the positive effect of #meditation and #yoga on health and well-being. That's why we're offering free meditation & yoga alongside environmental DNA training at the 'Campfires and Science' on Sat 23rd: Register: eventbrite.com.au/e/campfire… #evidence #dna

All systems go in the @BioQuisitive lab processing your plastic-swabbed samples from The Hunt for the Plastic Eaters during @Aus_ScienceWeek for #SGMDISPOSABLE! Can’t wait to see what we find! @scigallerymel @cfarandwide @SciencePeddler

During #scienceweek we've trained over 30 people to analyse DNA from the critically endangered lead-beater possum. By detecting this species in the wild in new (portable) ways, we'll inform evidence-based management of our forests. scienceforall.world #CitizenScience #DNA

The Hunt is on for #ScienceWeek as 20 schools from all states & territories hunt for new plastic-eating bacteria, including students from Polly Farmer STEM Centre in Alice Springs! Part of #SGMDISPOSABLE, in collab with @BioQuisitive & @CandiceRaeburn, funded by @Aus_ScienceWeek

#TheHunt IS ON! This @Aus_ScienceWeek 20 schools & groups across the country will scour the environment for plastic-eating bacteria! We had so much fun beaming into your classrooms and answering your Q’s! Looking forward seeing what you found as part of @scigallerymel #DISPOSABLE

Excited to see the DISPOSABLE program launched! And to be working with @scigallerymel and @BioQuisitive to run a citizen science program for @Aus_ScienceWeek scouring the country for native plastic-degrading bacteria! 🧬🌱🗑🦠 #disposablehunt

Just launched- the 2019 @scigallerymel program DISPOSABLE! We’re setting a series of art/science pop-ups live across Melbourne this August ✌️ DISPOSABLE is a dumpster dive to find creative solutions to our waste problem- check the program at melbourne.sciencegallery.com…

The public will push for it to happen faster because no-one wants to wait for something that stops disease. If he did it, it isn't a misstep. He was faster, get over it. Roll it out. #GeneEditSummit

Daley: “The fact that the first example [germline editing] came forward as a misstep should in no way lead us to stick our heads in the sand and not consider the very positive aspects that could come forth from a more responsible pathway to clinical translation.” #GeneEditSummit

As sort-of promised, I've rounded up the last day's worth of tweets from both @neva9257 and myself and turned them into something a little easier to follow and access at a single place: our Facebook page. #crisprbabies #crisprmaybies #bioethics facebook.com/RogueBioethics/… -KH

Brilliant research @ErinnRichmond! Erin's work shows streams in Melbourne’s suburbs contain a mix of human pharmaceuticals that may impact upon non-target freshwater species. Wastewater processing won't remove all the compounds, like antidepressants, we humans consume. #foodwebs
