Did you know WA is home to 8 of the country’s 15 biodiversity hotspots and has one of the world's highest rates of new species discovery? This is why we're so excited for tomorrow’s 2023 Biodiversity Conference. Learn about this important collaboration: biodiversity2023.com
Congratulations to Professor Elaine Holmes of @ANPC_MU on her election as a Fellow of the @Science_Academy. Elaine's research is unraveling how our gut microbiome impacts our health - and what we can do to improve it.
Prof Elaine Holmes FAA is working to decode the chemical dialogue between the human body & the gut bacteria that play a crucial role in our health and metabolism. Her team has pioneered chemical fingerprinting methods to identify biomarkers of disease.
A partnership between Murdoch and Fiona Stanley Fremantle Hospitals Group is aiming to address the shortage of Indigenous nurses in our health system. Learn more about this terrific initiative - Moorditj Kaartdijin, Moorditj Warlang - in @WAtoday watoday.com.au/national/weste…

ALS is the most common form of motor neurone disease. One of the hallmarks of ALS is the movement and buildup of certain proteins, which Dr Sarah Rea of @PerronInstitute and @cmmit_mu is exploring for therapies to target and tackle the disease. perroninstitute.org/us-defense-dep…
Did you know cement production is the single biggest industrial cause of carbon pollution? Engineers at Murdoch have developed a new type of low carbon concrete made from waste to throttle that impact. Today it took a big step toward industry adoption. loom.ly/H_AVoqg
If we must continue our plastic addiction, we need to develop cleaner and more efficient ways to make it. Here's how two PhD students are using old frying oil and hungry moths to develop the bioplastics we will use tomorrow. via @ParticleWA particle.scitech.org.au/tech/creating-…
Cutting edge health research from Murdoch has taken a step closer to the clinic with the launch of ProGenis Pharmaceuticals. "We believe precision medicine has the potential to transform healthcare,” founder Associate Professor @RakeshVeedu says. loom.ly/eXm1dGs

New research discovery in this @GRDCWest @MUniResearch @UWAresearch supported work - including the role of gravel in soil water and nutrient dynamics. Fantastic to have great grower and trial support for the work on ground facebook.com/661277065/post…
An excellent moment with @Channel9 👏 Our Professor @rajvarshney was given the opportunity to tell Perth audiences about his team's incredible research. Thanks to @DDoepel for joining Rajeev, and for adding your intel from a grower's perspective 🍎
The changing climate is threatening global food security, but work is underway here in Perth to create more resilient produce. @GenevieveLamond #9News
Know your Hardenbergia comptoniana from your Chorizema cordatum? They are some of WA's beautiful native pea plants and tonight on @ABCTV's Gardening Australia, Dr @julie_ardley and honours student Peter Howe share how they saving them. Here's some BTS footage from the shoot 🎥
