What I do when I’m not traveling- science! This plant has been infected with a plant virus called Tobacco mosaic virus, which has been engineered in the lab to express a fluorescent protein.
Plant viruses can be modified to express beneficial proteins too- not just cool glowing ones! Swipe to see what the plant looks like when it is not under UV light. .

Avian Flu H5N1 - Luke Jerram
We are very lucky to have such an amazing piece of art on display at the @dohertyinstitute. A fantastic reminder of the intricate beauty of the pathogens we study.

Plaque after Dark - I took this photo for a science photography competition last year. Unfortunately it didn't win, but I still like it.
It depicts the members of the Mackenzie lab analysing the results of long experiment late at night. Murine norovirus replicates extremely quickly and most of our infections happen over 12hours (meaning that we generally finish late at night). #latenightexperiments #science #phdlife #plaqueassay #phd #virology #virus #virusesarecool #norovirus #noro #2bucketdisease #gastro #dohertyinstitute #mackenzielab #unimelb #naturejobs #scientistatwork #sciencephotography @naturejobs @dohertyinstitute @unimelb @profvrr
Loving these shots of some of the world’s most deadly viruses- literally a perfect day trip in D.C. from the American Society for Virology meeting! (Exhibit featured on This Week in Virology podcast # 501!)
