I was very pleased to be interviewed by The Analytical Scientist magazine about the Dark Metabolome. A term I think I was the first to define formally

🚨New paper alert🚨. PhD student Dunsin Oyetunji used X-ray absorption spectroscopy to show how organic-rich soils transform manganese minerals that control nutrient & carbon cycling.

Very pleased to be included in the Stanford/Elsevier top 2% Scientists list again this year (both career and single-year data). The list identifies highly influential scientists based on a range of metrics (topscinet.com). It is not a perfect ranking, but I’ll take it.

Very excited to say that our Indigenous grant was successful!! This is a $AUD 1.258 million grant to help unravel how manganese minerals interact with organic matter and their role in terrestrial carbon and nutrient cycling.

Had a great time in Wellington, New Zealand, last week, at the @setacau.bsky.social - ACTRA meeting. Pictured below are just some of the RMIT University contingent. It is great to see the impact RMIT has had and continues to have on #science #Environmental #Chemistry & #toxicology in Australasia.

Yesterday I was privileged to give evidence in the Australian Senate #PFAS Inquiry public hearing in Canberra as part of a delegation from the @science.org.au. Some key aspects I tried to get across were that PFAS are a diverse group; not all have the same risk to #health

I was quoted in The Australian today discussing a recent study on chemicals in cookware that was found to have greatly overestimated the concentrations present, as well as how this error slipped through cracks in the peer-review system.

Yesterday Prof Michelle Spencer and I were very honoured to receive the Vice-Chancellor's Award for Teaching Excellence. This is the top award for education at RMIT and recognises our student-centred partnership model. We are both super happy to be recognised for our work 😀
