Loving seeing our @ResearchMenzies PhD students bringing science to the people - well done Himanshu! – at Hobart, Tasmania
Himanshu is a Geneticist and Bioinformatician
from #India studying @ResearchMenzies
When he is not de-coding the stuff of life, he is re-coding in his hobby as a domestic pet designer. His best work is the #BioluminescentBudgie.
