I’m at #ComBio2026 Sydney & doing some concurrent session hopping this afternoon. Loving learning diverse things but feeling FOMO for all the talks I miss. Congrats to the convenors & organisers for a great start to the meeting today! @asbmbaus.bsky.social @unswbabs.bsky.social

It’s another beautiful morning in Lorne, with blue skies & kangaroos. Highs of 33 degrees & afternoon rain/thunderstorms are predicted, but it will be cool & dry in the @lornegenome.bsky.social Heritage Ballroom for Session 7: Epigenetics & Chromatin at 9am. Looking forward to it! #LorneGenome2026

Good morning @lornegenome.bsky.social delegates! In case you missed watching the sunrise on the beach this morning (with galahs!), I’m happy to report that today we have a forecast of blue skies, highs of 31 degrees & some great science, kicking off with @odomlab.bsky.social at 9am. #LorneGenome2026
