Congratulations to Storm for defending her PhD thesis! Ngā mihi nui (thank you) @manucaddie for starting this project---inspiring research with Hikurangi Bioactives. From @WellingtonUni @VicUniWgtn to @Columbia --best wishes Storm on your postdoc with @RebeccaHaeusler.
Congrats @NHMUMycology
This wins the "best paper title of 2021" award:

Great thread. Congrats on the new paper reporting the mass spec method you, Allegra and your team used to detect iron chelation of compounds in our @Seeseei1 Samoan medicinal plant.
biology. Biology, the interior of the cell is a sea of metals, yet we mostly think of small molecules without their counter-ions. When @mraffatellu asked us if we could help find the zinc-binding molecule in E.coli nissile, @petras_daniel and @AllegraAron teamed up in the
Hope everybody had a good lunchbreak from lab. Where's the lipids at your lunch @tim_salita ?
First Reidlab lunch in at least a year. So good to see everyone (almost) again in person @ChemistryUoM @Bio21Institute @tim_salita @ShqSU

Proud to be part of an upcoming public lecture at the Florey with my colleague @HungYaHui and Mandy from @NiemannPickOz - we will talk about how clinicians and researchers can partner with families in ultra-rare disease:

Congratulations Jeanne!!! Love the shirt too reflecting your previous work on fungi (yeast).
Finally got to the package with my official 2019 @arisimpacts fellowship plaque! A very belated thanks a million @JulieRisien

This is durian. Chemists identified ~45 molecules that make up durian’s odor covering a variety of smells: honey, roasted onion, caramel, skunk & rotten egg. A recent study narrowed those down to just two molecules the researchers say can mimic the fruit’s overall smell.
Faamalo faafetai (congratulations) @Seeseei1. Great to see you earn this award on International Women's Day.
Awardee Dr Seeseei Molimau-Samasoni 🇼🇸 said that her own experience as a young woman working in #agscience meant she was driven to learn how to build a work environment that was inclusive and supportive for other young women entering the field.
