Our recent paper looking at history of flagellar motility now online in final form @ISMEJournal
We looked at 10,000 species to map the diversity and history of the bacterial #flagellar motor across the tree of life.

Grateful to have contributed to a study led by Feifei Su @UNSW, exploring how NEGR1 deficiency affects GAD65 accumulation, synaptic GABA synthesis, and feeding behavior. NEGR1 influences GABAergic signaling, with potential links to psychiatric disorders. [bit.ly/3OYqDnQ]

Bowling ๐ณ w/ @UNSWBABS and our lab for end of year ๐๐๐ป.
Fun bowl-off which our lab lost. Eerie to be inside in the dark then exit after a few VBs to blazing โ๏ธ๐ 32C.
Shout out to HoS @shanetgrey & School Mgr Michael Bowen leading us on and off the lanes.
