I'm so pleased I watched a repeat of Peter Dutton on Kitchen Cabinet tonight because I now realise what a great bloke he is. Thank you, Annabel Crabb and the ABC, I'm changing my vote to LNP.

"Trump can't possibly win", but he did. So I am more worried than I ought to be, about the possibility of a Dutton win.

A beautiful weekend away for some sea kayaking. This crystal clear pool and 5 km of white sandy beach just about all to myself.

Does anyone know why we don't have a frenzy of native birds feasting on the 100's of thousands of cicadas blanketing our gumtrees?

Roo and wallaby roadkill are sad but sometimes understandable. But when I see dead snakes on the road, I can't help but think that someone has at best, chosen not to avoid driving over them, or worse, chosen to deliberately drive over them. Saw 2 big dead tigers today on my bike 😡😡

I haven't done much sailing, but in my very limited experience, the boom scared the $%#& out of me.

It doesn't make sense to me. Great diplomacy to get Assange and the Bali 9 survivors back home, and then surrender Daniel Duggan to the US?

If you like science and especially if you are interested in vaccines and infectious diseases - this thread is a rollickingly good read. Thank you for taking the time to write this. its awesome.
In grad school, I cloned the mouse-adapted rhinovirus I selected after serial passage. RVs are enteroviruses like polio. Unlike polio, RV1A was a bitch to clone. Lots of secondary structure and toxic to E. coli, which would delete huge chunks of the genome when I would assemble my subclones.

Antifungal use in agriculture associated with an increase in antifungal resistance in human fungal pathogens? Who's have thought?
