Rest easy Justin. You were an inspiration to so many within our community and beyond. Your work and legacy lives on.
We're deeply saddened by the loss of Prof. Justin Yerbury AM, a true beacon of hope in the fight against MND. To honour his legacy, we're establishing a Chair in Neurodegenerative Diseases, initiated by Justin and his wife Rachel. Join us in this mission: uow.info/for-justin

I’ve said it before, but we live in the future. We’re watching nanocrystals grow on the atomic scale!
This atomic-scale movie upends a 100-year-old theory! Thanks to record-breaking 🔬 video resolution at our @molecularfoundry, scientists have discovered 🔎 how atomic-scale defects direct #nanoparticle growth. Check it out ⬇️

I've become fascinated with Dr Johnson's clean heat engine that uses a shape memory alloy to convert a temperature gradient into mechanical motion. Check it out here: youtube.com/watch?v=I78ZTkdZ…
Inner-city Sydney is losing its shine for home-buyers...
An interesting useful piece of research. Well done @ShanakaHE . 👏
#Sydneysiders are now less prepared to pay extra to live closer to the #CBD than at any other time in recent history, according to new UTS research. @of_uts's @ShanakaHE says it's a trend likely to continue for at least 3 to 5 years. Story via @Domaincomau bddy.me/3zWnn35
