Development vs climate action is a false choice.
In the agriculture sector, there are many actions that reduce climate pollution AND help farmers adapt to a changing climate.
An underappreciated one is helping smallholders sustainably boost productivity, reducing ag land expansion & deforestation.

We visited Sculptures by the Sea today from Bondi to Tamarama 🌊🏖️ - nice way to recover from all that writing.
Thanks for taking the time to catch up on a weekend and for the lovely hang out.

We are now in the non-coding #RNA session at #ARNASydney2025. We heard a fascinating story on other functions of the TERRA #lncRNA, which binds ATRX and gene promoters. It also is more abundant in the aging brain. A great talk by Hsueh-Ping Chu from the National Taiwan University.

Super fun presenting some of our #MDA5 #RNA sensor work to an RNA-centric audience! The different point of view from my usual infection and immunity background led to some great questions and discussions. More ideas forming!!! #ARNASydney2025 #virus 🧪🧫🦠
We had a set of amazing talks in the #RNA in immunity session at #ARNASydney2025. Presentations by Stacey Horner, @drnatsampaio.bsky.social, Elizabeth Chan and Kitty McCaffrey. From viral infections to bacterial toxins, a really great session.
