From a PhD in Hong Kong; working @institutpasteur, then back to Australia to establish a central microscopy facility at @WEHI_research. An enlightening #TheMicroscopists with Kelly Rogers incl the challenges of balancing research, facilities, and developing staff.
Plus wanting to be a forester and passions outside of work.
