I use a combination of #bioinformatics and wet lab work to study endogenous viral elements in animals, with a focus on Australian marsupials like the #TasmanianDevil, #koala, #wallaby, #dunnart and #possum!

So thrilled to be the first guest on @ResBytesPodcast for the opportunity to chat about my research into viral fossils inside #DNA 🧬
If you haven't had a listen, there's three previous episodes introducing the amazing hosts and their fascinating research too!
#virus #marsupial
In our next episode we chat with @emma__harding about her research on #paleovirology and the viral fossils hiding in marsupial genomes. Listen to find out how this research may improve #conservation efforts in the future 🐨🦘🦠

New paper out from our work on cane toad viruses 🐸, led by @AliceGRusso @WhiteLabUNSW
Could viruses be contributing to the toad invasion success in Australia? Have they left some viruses behind in their native range? Read more here: frontiersin.org/articles/10.…

🐨 @emma__harding from @UNSWBABS examined the #DNA and #RNA of 13 Australian marsupial species and believes that viral fossils may be helping protect animals from infection. Could viral fossils in our own DNA being doing the same?

Introducing Professor Brett Neilan! He is an academic overseer and mentor to our iGEM team. If spending time with family was a hobby, then that would be Brett's.

Are you in these Sydney #coronavirus hotspots?
@UNSW virologist Prof Peter White says while "we're not going as hard and as early as New Zealand but we are going pretty hard and we have some advantages in Australia”. #COVID19au #StayHomeAustralia smh.com.au/national/nsw/key-… – at Sydney, New South Wales

Brilliant to see Australia doing so well on COVID19 testing. Thanks to all our scientists working around the clock @TheDohertyInst @unimelb @TheRMH and all our colleagues across the country!
Our latest work asks: How many tests for COVID-19 are being performed around the world?
OurWorldInData.org/covid-tes…
The chart compares the total number of tests performed per million people in a number of countries.
Data for *many* more countries you find at the link above.

The essence of goal of stringent social distancing measures. The numbers in this graph are not correct but the direction is: with a fast epidemic peak, the lack of ICU capacity will cause mortality in people that otherwise can be treatable. Hubei: 5%, rest china: 0.7%
