We are back from the very successful RACI meeting in Hobart and are feeling very caught up on the state of Phys Chem research in Australia. Five group members attended and presented their work: Toby gave a fantastic talk about our ongoing dSTORM work looking at microtubules in Rabies-affected cells, Heather presented her latest work on imaging quantum nanorods, Brenton showed off his single molecule characterisation of a newly synthesised ultra-bright SANDI, Rosey’s poster show-cased her work with crown ethers as sensors, and Donna presented one poster on the dSTORM setup and ongoing benchmarking experiments and another poster on her recent publication on FTIR detection of DNA conformation transitions. 

As an added highlight, during the conference dinner it was announced that Rosey had been awarded the poster prize, capping off a fantastic week.
