Very pleased to share our latest paper, primarily the work of an exceptional post-doc, Caitlin.

Honeybees, like many insects, make silk, but it's different in structure to that of both spiders and silkworms - here we resolve some of the details. 🧪

Saw my first mantis shrimp on a dive in Bali last month! Super exciting! 😀 Also my first dive with manta rays...
The mantis shrimp didn't hang around - straight into their burrow. Snap from my video attached.
Slightly blurry image of a Mantis shrimp facing the camera - still from a video taken in Bali at Manta Point.

View from a balcony across a lawn area at night. Lawn is lit by four strings of lights and scattered with tables and bench seating. Groups of people are drinking and talking.

Frances Separovic presenting this year's Leach Lecture. Wonderful speech about her life in science and the need for equity and opportunity.

Beautiful rainbow here in Wollongong yesterday evening to smile on #coesb24!
Full rainbow arc over the ocean mixed with patches of cloud, all lit by the setting sun.

I love flights at sunset...
View of sunset from an airplane. The sun is partly blocked by a line of cloud. The sky is blue fading to grey and the clouds are lit with orange light. Another view of the sunset from an airplane.
