Last night the Bob Robertson award was presented by Adelle Coster (UNSW), a beautiful talk integrating mathematics and biology. Well deserved!

And very special to be joined by her dad Hans Coster, a legend in the Australian biophysics community! @lisannes.bsky.social @francesbiophys.bsky.social

The Wollongong crew have arrived in the gold coast for the #ASB2025 meeting! Just missing @lisannes.bsky.social who had presidential matters to attend to.

Looking forward to the week of great science and catching up with the biophysics community in Aus!
