@trent_munro A very insightful vision of whatās needed from @trent_munro ......āalthough Munro is passionate about Queenslandās potential, he believes more can be achieved from the MMI through countrywide collaborationsā. A Team Australia approach is the smoothest path to success..

@GildaTachedjian @BurnetInstitute After being puzzled by GALV during my PhD studies pre-HIV, the story has come a long way connecting to KoRV and bats! I still wonder about seeing GALV positive RNA blots from a patient leukemia tissue sample in the pre-PCR era. Could a related GammaRV infect humans???

@DanielAndrewsMP I had a T4 burst fracture in Jan 19, ICU, surgery and recovery under the care of the amazing team at Alfred Hospital. I can relate to your enthusiasm returning to whatās been off limits for the past months. My advice - take small steps, carry a cushion and befriend Panadol Osteo!
