Clemons Lab

One of our favourite weeks of the year - we went to @LorneCancer again! PhD student @ZoeNguy32847177 and clinician-PhDs Zexi and Mike with their posters representing @Clemons_Lab 🤩 and star RA Sasha brought home the Exhibitor prize 🏆

Things we learnt at this year's end of year party: - throwing things to people in zero gravity is hard 👩‍🚀 - when being attacked by dinosaurs, aim for the mouth 🦕 - 2023 in @Clemons_Lab was fabulous; bring on 2024! 🤓🥼🎉 @PeterMacRes

Proud of our PhD student @ZoeNguy32847177 presenting her 3MT at @EMBLAustralia PhD Course in Canberra this week 🤩 NRF2 - the puppet master 👐

When you show up in the same outfit as the boss @DrNickClemons 🤓🎓 Happy graduation day to our Dr. @JuliaVMilne 💐 #PhDone @PeterMacRes @UniMelbMDHS

Our postdocs have been busy! Last week @MustafaEbtihal presented her #perturbseq work at the @PeterMacRes Retreat at the @MCEC, and yesterday @JuliaVMilne presented a poster at the #CSTI2023 conference in sunny Cape Schanck 👩‍🔬👩‍🔬 #womeninscience #WomenInSTEM @PMPostdocs

Welcome home 🏡 to our fantastic PhD student @ZoeNguy32847177, who returns from the @EMBO workshop on #ferroptosis in Seeon, Germany! Congratulations on your first international conference and excellent poster presentation 👏

Reflecting on another excellent #LorneCancer2023! This year coincided with #IDWGS2023 and three of the brilliant women from our group shared their research. Special mention to PhD student Zoe for her first ever poster presentation! #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEM

Lab retreat is off to a tasty start! With a few days in Lorne to connect and inspire, Clemons Lab is preparing to take on 2023 👨‍🔬👩‍🔬 #ScienceTwitter

A few weeks ago, @DrNickClemons caught up with lab alum @KenjiFujihara in JAPAN 🇯🇵 at the CSH Asia meeting on ferroptosis, where Kenji presented his recently published PhD work! Read about it in @ScienceAdvances here 👇 science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

An awesome, thought-provoking day at the @PeterMacRes Cancer Evolution and Metastasis Program retreat in the beautiful Yarra Valley 🏞️🍷 Thanks to @kylie_gorringe and @parkerlabPMCC for organising such a wonderful itinerary! – at Melbourne, Victoria

FINALLY we were able to steal Carlos away from theatre to celebrate our newest *double* doctor! Congratulations on your fantastic PhD, Dr Dr Carlos 👨‍⚕️🎓 we miss having you around in the lab! – at Melbourne, Victoria

Our brilliant (and lucky) postdoc @MustafaEbtihal has escaped dreary Melbourne this week to present her scPerturb-seq work at #AGTA22 on the Sunshine Coast! We can't wait to hear about all the other cool genomics projects when you get back ☀️🧬 – at Melbourne, Victoria

Pizza and a PhD! 🍕🎓 We've been busy in the Clemons Lab, but the crew got together to celebrate @JuliaVMilne completing her thesis 🥳 – at Melbourne, Victoria

Our brains are full (and so are our bellies) after a fantastic few days at @LorneCancer! What better way to commemorate the return of in-person conferences than to share science at the beach 🔬👩‍🔬-->👨‍💻⛱️ #LorneCancer2022 – at Melbourne, Victoria

"Go ahead, bake my clay" - getting our hands dirty for our lab Christmas party this year! Thanks to Sarah Schembri Ceramics for hosting our group of aspiring potters 🏺⚱️ – at Fitzroy, Melbourne

Plenty of reasons to celebrate tonight! The sun is shining, lockdown is over, we're all vaccinated, our wonderful Karen is embarking on two new roles - lab manager and mum (again!), and our new postdoc Ebtihal joins the Clemons lab family! Exciting times ahead for our group 🥳☀️

The end of an era 🕺 a bittersweet (distanced, with no karaoke machine in sight 😢) farewell to our Wonderboy @KenjiFujihara he embarks on his next adventure as a postdoc at NYU. Congratulations on a brilliant PhD, we can't wait to hear what you do next 🤩 We're so proud of you!

When the boss calls a meeting - and he's been baking! Yellow cupcakes and a COVIDsafe check in for #RUOKDay 💛 Thanks for always looking out for us @DrNickClemons

A delicious lab dinner last week to celebrate some huge milestones for our newest Dr @caiazzo_sabrina ! Congratulations on your new role! Don't forget about us - we'll be just down the road 😃
