Excited to share our new Nature paper published today: Vaccination elicits HIV broadly neutralizing antibodies in primates www.nature.com/articles/s41... A project 14 years in the making with an outstanding team at @lji.bsky.social, @scrippsresearch.bsky.social and many collaborating institutions

This is a gigantic moment in time for me - after being a fan for decades, I finally saw Linkin Park live 🤩 The concert was amazing! Emily Armstrong sounds great! I still can't believe that I saw Mike Shinoda with my own eyes 🤯

I think it's curious that with dog ownership, the biggest injury potential stems from the dog being a major trip hazard. Not me running into things because I stumbled over my dog yet again...

But what I loved the most about my trip to Japan was how it instantly snapped me out of my obsession with work. You just can not think about experiments or statistical calculations when you have to navigate the Tokyo Metro system to find your hotel. I probably need more of that in my life 😅

I probably also experienced more culture within a week in Japan than I did in an entire year in Australia. #Travel #Japan #TeamLabPlanets #Tokyo

It's been years since I experienced real winter - #Japan reminded me of how much I love the cold, and seasons, and drinking hot tea when the wind is freezing your face off. Also, I never liked train rides, but the Shinkansen was something out of this world! So fast and comfortable 😮 #Travel

To be honest, as I was sitting on an airplane for 8 hours I was a bit unsure about my own decision to spend Christmas alone in Japan this year. But the trip turned out to be an amazing experience, and now I think I should do this more often! #Travel #Japan

When you've got significance #Science #Data #HabemusSignificance

New paper out in JCI Insight: PhIP-Seq uncovers marked heterogeneity in Acute Rheumatic Fever Autoantibodies. ARF is a serious sequela of Strep A infection. While autoantibodies are known to drive pathogenesis, the specific human protein targets remain unclear. Link: doi.org/10.1172/jci.... 1/5

Does anyone else send their data graphs to their colleagues out of excitement over the results? 😂 #Science #JustScienceThings

One of my favourite things in the world is to randomly discover bands that I didn't know about, and finding out that their music is absolutely incredible. Today's feast for the ears is *Official髭男dism* youtu.be/iSgswUq0Qcg?...

WTF, Brisbane?! Apocalypse in less than 24 hours?! #Australia

What do you mean, Sunset at 31°C?! 🥵🥵🥵 #Brisbane #Queensland #Australia

You don't see this much black on the rain radar very often 😬 Ayayay, good luck, Logan! #Queensland #Weather

Only in Australia do you get an email from your employer warning you not to use the front entrance of your building because "birds have been attacking people" 😅 #LifeInAustralia

Is Australia finally growing on me? 🤔 Realised today that some of my favourite life memories are of situations that happened in Oz. Maybe it's just a very slow process...

There's nothing quite like a dog pre-warming the end of your bed when your feet are cold #GoodBoy

I don't know how to provide travel advice for Cairns to a friend who's never been to Australia without slightly scaring them... I mean, crocodiles and children-sized bats?! I'm not making this up! 😅

Btw, I don't know what it's like in the rest of the world, but in Australia, you cannot (!) escape Kpop Demon Hunters 😂 We even heard the songs being played in Yulara (i.e. the middle of nowhere). #KpopDemonHunters

Please share my 1 min video on the importance of maintaining NIH funding of infectious diseases and drug discovery research vs rising antibiotic resistance Drastic budget cuts harm our health and imperil the next generation of scientists More @UCSanDiego “Behind Every Breakthrough” bit.ly/3FlXQs3

The question is... will American car drivers run me over if I decide to cycle through Atlanta? American roads really are not super bicycle-friendly...

6 weeks to go 😢🇺🇲

The new analysis: the Trump administration’s budget plan, if adopted, “would essentially end America’s longstanding role as the world leader in science and innovation” I don’t believe any demographic of the American population genuinely supports throwing this all away The harms will be widespread

Me too, Wordle, me too.

People should be forbidden from writing emails while they're jetlagged 🤬🤦🏻‍♀️

What better way to end #LISSSD2025 than by having a dinner with the wonderful Yujiro Hirose 😊 The Strep A commmunity does great work together, but let's not forget that it also produces friendships! #Cheers

Absolutely mind-blown that my undergraduate Microbiology professor, Barbara Spellerberg from Ulm University, watched my talk at #LISSSD2025 today and then came to say hi. The last time I saw her was about 14 years ago and she remembered me!!! 🤯
