Incredibly excited for #GRSvenom24 mentorship session on #scicomm by the talented @CNZdenek! Empowering our ECRs to share their research effectively with impact - science isn't done until it's communicated! 😁🐍 @grcvenom

Boring. Hubristic. Instead, I want to know what’s the smallest animal that’s kicked your ass or sent you running? For me it’s a tree swallow.

Very happy to have been awarded the @UQ_News Dean's Award for Outstanding PhD Thesis for my work on venoms as novel antiparasitic drugs! Big thanks to my mentors and advisors @VenomsLab @IMBatUQ @CSIRO. Time for a celebratory drink over here in CA! 🥂🕷️🎓 #WomenInSTEM

Fascinating talk by @seanmcfate for @cbdstconference on changing foreign policy and defense strategy. Big take away is that we must reevaluate and adapt strategy in the era of dis & misinformation. A key lesson applicable to defense, foreign and health policy! #CBDST2022
