Just out: Molecular conservation of marsupial and eutherian placentation and lactation
Eutherian mammals (e.g. human, mouse) are often referred to as “placental” mammals, yet marsupials (e.g. kangaroo, koala) also have a fully functioning placenta, made out of the yolk sac.

Prettier graphs using Excel
Excel excels at ugly graphs, However it can produce nice graphs if you know how. It takes a little thought, and a little effort to transform the default graphs, setting sizes, spacing, colours, fonts, formats, but once you are familiar, it takes little time, and once you have a nice format you can even re-use the graph format in different projects - all you need to do is point it to different data sets.renfreeshawlab.science.unimelb.edu.au/2017/03/01/prettier-graphs-using-excel

New Wallavan
At last we have our new wallavan. Overlanda have done a fine job. We were impressed by the wallaby stencil on the sides.

On the principle of “Maximum Author Load” …
I came across a publication today with almost 2500 authors. It must have been a nightmare to coordinate all their comments on the draft manuscript!renfreeshawlab.science.unimelb.edu.au/2016/10/28/on-the-principle-of-maximum-author-load

Colourblindness and graphics
About one in ten males (including myself) have some degree of red-green colour blindness (and 0.5% of females), so you should bear that in mind when you are making graphics to display to others. Here are some suggestions for making colour-blindness friendly graphics.renfreeshawlab.science.unimelb.edu.au/2016/10/10/colourblindness-and-graphics

Loading sets of images into powerpoint slides
Sometimes one may want to generate a PowerPoint slide with a set of images - for example a set of micrograph images to discuss with your colleagues (or a lovely set of your holiday photos to make your friends jealous). You can do this by manually adding each image, one by one, then resizing, repositioning, formatting .... , but there is a much quicker way. Here is a guide to automating the process.renfreeshawlab.science.unimelb.edu.au/2016/10/08/loading-sets-of-images-into-powerpoint-slides

Fluorescence Images: Merging and optimising
If you are using fluorescence microscopy you may need to merge images taken with different filter sets – for example DAPI to pick out nuclei together with fluorescent staining with or or more specific antibodies. Commonly you will want to merge these images into a composite. Image optimisation and merging can be achieved easily using […]renfreeshawlab.science.unimelb.edu.au/2016/09/21/fluorescence-images-merging-and-optimising

If you are using fluorescence microscopy you may need to merge images taken with different filter sets - for example DAPI to pick out nuclei together with fluorescent staining with or or more specific antibodies. Commonly you will want to merge these images into a composite.
