The #BraggYourPattern project was done very proud at #IUCr2026 by @rosieyoung.bsky.social’s presentation. I got a bit emotional to see all that this group has done over 5 years now! (Picture taken with permission from the speaker)

I am delighted and incredibly grateful to share that I have been awarded a NHMRC Emerging Leadership (EL1) Investigator Grant!

We've raced past 500 schools and now well over 650! Look how spread out those locations are. We're really happy that our Crystal Explorer Kits are reaching remote primary schools all over. #BraggYourPattern

Very humbled to hear such kind words from others in my research community ☺️. I feel lucky to be part of such a supportive community and be able to contribute towards that supportive and collaborative culture myself!

Many in the #Crystallography community will remember this (and may have helped put part of it together). Our record breaking diamond structure built at the 2023 IUCr congress in Melbourne [Photo credit Jun Aishima]

Excited to share that our work on a family of pore-forming proteins is now live in Science Advances! We show structural snapshots across the entire pore-forming pathway for a cholesterol-dependent cytolysin-like (CDCL) bicomponent system.

Our paper on the structure and evolution of baculovirus is out! Excited to share work I did at Monash in the Coulibaly lab, with big shout outs to co-authors Josh and Jungmin, collaborators Mart and team and everyone else who contributed. Definitely one of the coolest structures I'll ever work on 🤩
