ANU ducklings in a rainy day last week. They all ran towards the camera - honestly kind of terrifying! Look at those faces - they mean business. 👀

Autumn is just starting in Japan.

Big week in Matsuyama 🇯🇵 for AIRAPT-29! Honoured to be elected to the AIRAPT Exec Comm & to represent 🇦🇺 at the ACHPR meeting. Pic from the conference dinner!

Also excited our new paper is out in APL-shear lowers Ge phase transformation thresholds with a reversible path!

They served green oranges at morning tea! They were a bit like a mandarin.

Very much enjoying being at a high pressure conference in beautiful Matsuyama, Japan this week. The region is known for its oranges- hence the logo of the meeting which is an orange / high pressure cell. 10/10 🍊

Impressive. I bombed out.

Only in Australia: real fairies hanging out in car parks! This little Superb Fairywren was having his main character moment - singing his heart out like he owned the place. 10/10

My kaffir lime tree produced a normal-sized lime! I guess given the name I shouldn't have been surprised but I didn't know that was a thing it could do!

Happy Wattle Day from ANU.
