It’s a great pleasure to see the tRNA neochromosome finally reaching the light of day at @CellCellPress! I’m sharing co-first authorship with @DSchindler_PDR, with @caiyizhi at the helm and under the guidance of @JefBoeke. Find the article here: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Time flies! We’re currently looking for a new talented volunteer to lead the Sydney Node of SBA. If you’re interested in gaining some leadership experience, running a team and organising some fun events, please let me know by mid-August

Out now from @Alicia_MV_ ! We consolidated a >600 Dutch yeast and characterised their activity against spoilage yeasts and relevant human and plant pathogens, focusing on yeasts that secrete antifungal proteins. Great resource for biocontrol and beyond.

P.S. I'm winding down my Twitter account for Bluer Skies, but will still post the occasional message
I/We have a fully funded international PhD scholarship in sunny Sydney that’s just come online! This is part of an exciting collaboration between the ARC Centre of Excellence in Synthetic Biology and the Dementia Research Centre. More information here:

Bitter-sweet result. Our paper is out in Nature, but sometimes you're forced to hide your affiliation to make it happen.
Viruses encode tRNAs to circumvent tRNA-targeting immune systems, like PARIS.
Thanks to @dbikard, @WiedenheftLab and the teams.

Australian scientists genetically engineer common fly species to eat more of humanity’s waste dlvr.it/TB0QKx
Congrats @billerbeck_s and @_rprins!!
Finally in print!🥳🥳! @_rprins was curious how #KillerYeast protect themselves from self-intoxication. For the ionophore toxin #K2, she found that its immunity is encoded within its secretion signal peptide.

Really cool stuff!
Meet MagLOV: an engineered protein that responds STRONGLY to magnetic fields.
This is a fluorescence timelapse of MagLOV in E. coli. We're waving a (small) magnet under the plate.
Can you tell where the magnet is?

Some fantastic talks from @iloughland (@allgfoods ) and @JeroenBrsma (@itsjustvow ) at our SBA Sydney Node event! We caught a glimpse into the future of technology and food (and consumed a huge quantity of pizza in the process...)
