Taking a break from the usual #Phylogenetic exploration to spend a little time on the #Quantum computing side of my work.

Hanging out with #Queensland Quantum community at the

Qx | Advanced Technologies for Life and Planet.

Attending a fascinating talk by
Prof Begona Heras on “Structural insights into the function and inhibition of bacterial virulence proteins. “

Looking for overlaps with methods we are putting together in the Structural Phylogenetics space. #StrPhy #StructuralPhylogenetics @strphy.bsky.social

We’ve set up a dedicated Bluesky space for structural phylogenetics: @strphy.bsky.social. Follow for community updates.

Within Tagetes lemmonii, (Lemmon’s marigold) are defence molecules called thiophenes which become highly toxic when exposed to sunlight, damaging pests at the cellular level. An elegant example of how plants weaponize light to survive.

In a talk today thinking that science isn’t just a collection of facts it’s a method and sometimes, a philosophical tightrope.

Emeritus Professor Ross Bernard at #UQ exploring how science proceeds - via falsifiability. Not everyone agrees but a conversation worth having.

Just attending a talk by Professor Warwick from QUBIC at #BrisScience on

“Bringing Quantum to Life: How Quantum technologies may shape the future of society”.

Exciting times ahead as quantum algorithm unravel mysteries of life.

Professor Frances Separovic documents her tough journey in #Science. A trailblazing scientist who defied the odds and carved her path in a time when women in science faced unimaginable barriers. Her story is a testament to the power of determination.
