Incredibly grateful for the opportunity to present some of my PhD work yesterday at #AUSoMicS2025
My supervisor thinks I’m obsessed with Alba proteins and to be honest, he’s probably not wrong. It was a joy to talk about them uninterrupted for 15-minutes 😂

"scientists are cold and unfeeling by custom" I took some shrimp into the lab for live photography, but I could not find a single female in one particular pond. Felt bad for the three males just sitting in there with nothing, so I put in some females from another pond down the road for them to court
