A reminder about the upcoming Webinar on Thursday about #cyanide in #cassava and its link to #Konzo where I interview the person who uncovered the 1981 epidemic with Hand Rosling and described the connection - Dr Julie Cliff 👇

NEW: Gold is found as big nuggets in quartz veins—and we have never known why. Now we have a shocking answer: electricity, made by earthquakes shaking quartz, is gathering particles of gold and growing them into shiny nuggets. Earth is wild.

Welcome to Matthis (seilermatthis) who has joined us for 4 months from the Krossing Group Freiburg Chemistry Institutes. Not expecting "no reaction" when we add Krossing oxidising agents (aka de-electronators) to Jones reducing agents (re-electronators?)! 🧨#ozchem Monash Chemistry

On Friday Maddy and Giulia submitted their PhD theses and went on the famous walk to the graduate research office to collect their pens. We’re proud of their hard work and excited for the bright futures ahead. Congratulations Maddy and Giulia!

Congrats to Nik Willmott on his latest PhD paper (cosupervised with Kath McNamara and Theresa Jones Urban Light Lab) out today in The Royal Society Biology Letters on impact of artificial light at night on spider brains. #BobWongLab Link to the OA paper here: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…
