Thank you Toby Allen and Ben Corry for that beautiful story, celebrating the life, work, and impact on our biophysics community that the late Shin-Ho Chung had.
Now for a special session all about ion channels! #ASB2025

You cant focus on new priorities if you don't have people and funding to do the work. Let's keep the scientists we do have.
Save the CSIRO
Our national science & research agency is now facing more job cuts than under Tony Abbott
Call on the Albanese Govt to fund the scientists & research we need to tackle big issues we face from climate to food security and everything in between

Excited to share John's new work in Nat Coms! We demonstrate how PfCRT, a polyspecific peptide transporter, turns into a drug transporter for antimalarials like chloroquine and why this causes a fitness cost for the malaria parasite (1/2)

We’ve had nearly 3 years of review, review, review.
We need reviews, but it’s blindingly obvious that Australian research needs much greater Government investment while those reviews are done.
This was true 3 years ago. Still true now.
