Started off the week in Perth at the Australian & New Zealand Obesity Society Annual Meeting presenting my work on novel ceramide synthases & their anti-obesogenic effects.

Had a great time at ANZOS and exploring Rottsnest Island, home to the extremely friendly and fluffy quokkas!

Thank you to EASD for the travel grant, enabling me to share my research!

Had the great opportunity to present my PhD research at the 10th #LipidomicsForum held in #Vienna at the University of Vienna!

Have spent the last few days sitting where Einstein once did & hearing some great talks about lipidomics applications and developments!
