Breaking up the thesis writing by engaging in some #citizenscience for the Sydney Sea Slugs Census 🤿🐌🪸📸
This was the spot of the day from Wylie's Baths - identified as a Plocamorpherus imperialis on iNaturalist.

It was a high risk project and in the end I got 'scooped'. But my storytelling was engaging enough that even the camera picked up the 🌈 in me.

PhD exit seminar ✅
So happy I could share the bulk of my PhD where I optimised the expression, purification and (so far unsuccessful) polymerisation of novel eukaryotic-like proteins in Nelly (aka Loki-ASV2).

Thank you to the #archaea community for making my first #GRC a great one!
I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to present and meet lovely new people! ❤️🦠
Coming from an island country, it was also great to put faces (and personalities) to names I otherwise only see on papers. 👩🔬🔬👩💻

How do I celebrate my first preprint coming out in the middle of the GRC?
A swim in an Alpine like followed by a glass of Prosecco. 🥂

Half-way through my first GRC and I've;
🦠 Presented a well-received talk
🦠 Walked on a glacier
🦠 Not once had to explain what Asgard Archaea are

I had to leave #FEMS2025 before the closing ceremony but I left on a high note after finding out that I received the @femsmicro.org Microbiology Ecology Poster Prize, awarded by Max Häggblom!

The final day of #FEMS2025 is done! Great opening session on extremophiles, an interesting discussion of using microbes as forensic tools and I've left with plenty of microbe nerds to bother the next time I'm in Europe 🦠🤓 Ciao Milano!

Day 2 of #FEMS2025 done!
Loved meeting other microbe nerds and listening to some great talks. Im 100% biased today's session on extremophiles has been my favourite so far 🦠 🥶 🥵🧂 🦠

Loved my first full day at #FEMS2025 🦠 Thank you to everyone who came to chat with me at my poster.
Can't wait to see more great speakers and talk more microbes tomorrow 👩🔬

Bongiorno Milano!
Made it to #FEMS2025 after exploring the city. Catch me tomorrow (Tuesday) at poster 241.15P, Section D to talk Asgard archaea, protein folding and microbial dark matter. 🦠🔬 🦠

Warming up for 2 weeks of back-to-back conferences by 'networking' with grandma. Not a bad way to get over the jetlag. 🌞🥂🇨🇭

Half-way there for my euro summer to round out my PhD! 🌞🦠👩🎓
After tearing my ACL early last year, I'm excited to finally get around to 2 international conferences!
Catch me at #FEMS2025, GRC: Archaea (and Montreux Jazz in between 🎺).

The best way to get myself out of the lab and my mind out of the PhD is to get into the ocean. 🤿🪸🐠
