Was thrilled to see colleague @kmichie.bsky.social awarded a prestigious #UNSW Vice Chancellors Award. Kate leads the Structural Biology Facility and has been the tour d’ force developing the computational structural biology community in Australia. Awesome achievement and throughly deserved 👏

Great team of grad students and post docs and led together with an awesome group of PIs @debnathghosal.bsky.social @kmichie.bsky.social @iduggin.bsky.social. As something different here be a cool AI-generated artistic impression of our #Asgards hanging in their microbial mat 'ancient home'....⚔️

This was a truly collaborative effort spanning multiple labs and institutions….many hands picking the Asgard fruit. Recognising Indigenous knowledge and culture from #SharkBay in the naming of novel organism. Brief summary and shout out to @scarlettlw.bsky.social for some cool stromatolite art...
