After 8 months I have finished my @FulbrightPrgrm in Michigan! While I am a bit daunted I am keen to start going through ALL the data I have collected! Before I get stuck back into that and my PhD back in Australia I want to thank all the wonderful people that helped me! 🙏

Thank you to all the organisers that made #ICVM2023 in Gimuy (Cairns, Australia) happen. Feeling inspired by all amazing science and the incredible nature in beautiful North Queensland.
Come on down to the chicken shed (P3-6, Auditorium A/B/D) this afternoon to see my poster on tweaking the chicken beak.🐥🐔🐓 #ICM2023
A big highlight at SICB was being able to sit down and chat with Terry for this piece. Such a wonderful scientist, mentor and person!
