Our work using CRISPR gene editing to model beneficial mutations that alleviate the symptoms of sickle cell disease has been profiled in @smh. Thank you for the great article @stuartlayt - it was fun to discuss our science with you! @unswscience @UNSWBABS smh.com.au/national/queensla…

Sickle cell disease: Gene editing reveals why some people get common blood disorder

UNSW scientists have used CRISPR gene editing technology to discover why some people with the mutation for sickle cell disease never get it.

Thanks so much to the fabulous Crossley/Quinlan Lab for celebrating the end of my PhD today! Yay for the return of lab outings and picnics in the park! 🥳
Prof Kate Quinlan@KateGQuinlan22 Oct 2021
It was lovely to get out in the sunshine today for a lab picnic to celebrate @SarahTopfer_ finishing up her PhD in the lab & a number of other milestones that we haven’t been able to celebrate over the last few months! Congrats & all the best for the next stage, Sarah! @UNSWBABS

Friday is lab blog day @UNSW - this week on What's Lab Life Like - I talk about the importance of focussing and ... though it feels odd - putting all your eggs in one basket! crossleylab.wordpress.com/20… via @wordpressdotcom

Focussing is hard but it works

Amazing talk from @vowfood engineer @soroushjp and CEO @peppsyd at #csm20online yesterday highlighting how much scope there is in automation to speed science up! The work of 80 scientists done by 1 😮.... sign me up!
Alex Shirazi@alexshirazi20 Oct 2020
🤯 I think @soroushjp is describing the future standard of scientific research. #cms20online #automation @vowfood @peppsyd "Even including the engineering time, what we built [ from scratch ] ended up being cheaper and faster than the standard solution"
