Electrical signaling in Venus Flytrap shown in real-time⚡️ Touching the trigger hairs of the trap causes an influx of calcium ions (shown on top) that spreads rapidly across the leaf. Two action potentials and the leaves quickly close to trap their prey 🪰

The heart-lung machine is used in 20,000 surgeries a year in Australia, and up to half of these patients have delirium, short-term memory loss, emotional disturbance, trouble concentration or problem solving afterwards. Until now, the reason behind this has been unknown. 1/3

First conference! I was nervous to present my early stage research (no data) but am so glad I did it. I left with tons of advice & connections. Moral of le story: don't wait for the perfect moment to put yourself out there, jump in & enjoy the process! @SOBRNetwork @TheGordonLab

Feeling very grateful for the opportunity to present my masters project to @TheFlorey I dreamt of doing work like this when I was in my undergrad. Big thanks to @TheGordonLab for all the support ❤️
