Congratulations Dr Angelica Rea!
“It takes a village to raise a child” – but in this case, we celebrate a hard working Angelica “Angel” and a supportive family! Well done lovely lady, we are all very proud of you! Especially your “doctor father”, Frank Reith, is amazed by your fantastic work!
THE BIG PICTURE
New paper just published in Ecology!
In research spanning Australia and part of Antarctica Delgado, Reith, Dennis, Hamots, Powell, Young, Singh and Bissett are looking at drivers of soil community composition on the continental scale.
Great news story in the ABC

Geologists find bacteria that takes traces of gold and turns them into nuggets
Truly inspired research!
Decade long close collaboration of MHM-Group with Prof DH Nies’ group at the University of Halle-Wittenberg in Germany is bearing important fruit.
After years of careful planning and experimentation three ground-breaking papers now reveal the biochemistry of how the aurophilic (i.e., gold-loving) bacterium Cupriavidus metallidurans detected to date on natural gold particles from sites on four continents, deals with gold toxicity and produces gold nanoparticles, the building blocks of secondary gold, in the processes.
