So each year I fly my alternative #ausflag design. It usually elicits a visceral response #auspol #changethedate

It was "young and free" until very recently. It was changed by the govt, because they didn't like it.
The anthem also says "for those who've come across the seas we've boundless plains to share". Do you disagree with our national anthem

Sure, because the vaccine was made by UNSW RNA Institute. @UNSWRNA AI did data analysis. It’s good for that. Sequencing was by @ramacgenomics at UNSW
Using chatgpt & alpha fold to make a cancer vaccine makes no sense on so many levels but of course everyone will believe it.

Proud with @UNSWRNA to have been involved & making the mRNA-LNP for Rosie. There are nuances here that the thread below misses but nevertheless, the intersection of RNA technology, genomic & AI poses an opportunity to change the way do medicine and make access more equitable 1/8
How AI empowered Paul Conyngham to create a custom mRNA vaccine to cure his dog’s cancer when she had only months to live. The first personalized cancer vaccine designed for a dog:

Great story from @UNSW showing the future of personalised cancer vaccines driven by #RNA #chemistry. The School of Chemistry’s Pall Thordarson who directs the UNSW RNA institute is leading the way with the Ramaciotti Centre for Genomics, UNSW. theaustralian.com.au/busines…

Mad about Kosciuszko, Bern?
Seems crazy that in an English-speaking country the government keeps coming up with place and street names most people can’t pronounce.
One Nation will preserve traditional names linked to our shared history and restore them where necessary.
This silliness needs to stop.
