Here is the promised update! Now the EPA has released their statement we can reveal all the disgusting details of the ‘tar balls’.... ...which are actually human-generated waste of fat and grease! Here’s what @UNSWScience and MWAC found… thread below! 🧵

At @UNSWScience we have been investigating the tar balls that washed up on Coogee and other Sydney beaches. What do we know (and not know!) so far? Here comes our thread!

Out now at @J_A_C_S , we we demonstrate that native mass spectrometry and mass photometry can reveal unique mechanistic insights into the action of molecular glues, including the effects of such small molecules on the oligomeric organization of E3 ligases. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac…

Native MS can also provide quantitative descriptions of molecular glue efficacy and enable the binding specificity of E3 ligases to be determined in a single measurement.

Amazing study with enormous health implications co-lead by #UNSWScientia Alex Donald @WAlexSyd! Congrats Alex! 👏👏 @dane_mcc How smelly T-shirts and AI helped unlock secret to detecting Parkinson’s disease smh.com.au/national/nsw/how-…

How smelly T-shirts and AI helped unlock secret to detecting Parkinson’s disease

An AI program developed by researchers in Sydney and Boston could help predict the disease up to 15 years before symptoms appear.

Our people are amazing. Check out this piece by @WAlexSyd and student Diana Zhang about early detection of Parkinson’s. @unswscience @unsw theconversation.com/heres-ho…

Here’s how a new AI tool may predict early signs of Parkinson’s disease

This AI tool showed promise for early diagnosis. It also pointed to chemicals that may reduce or increase the risk of Parkinson’s.
