RESEARCH INTERESTs
Main projects:
- Curation of Online Mendelian Inheritance in Animals (OMIA)
- Back in 2020, we celebrated OMIA's 30th birthday with some videos which are available at Celebrating a Sydney School of Veterinary Science legacy - The University of Sydney.
- OMIA has recently been announced as a finalist in this year's Eureka Awards. The current university publicity is available at https://www.linkedin.com/posts/eurekaprizes-dataexcellence-animalgenetics-share-7488432553130041345-_LlW/
- Charles Darwin in Australia by F.W. and J.M. Nicholas
- To compliment this research, please see the Charles Darwin in Australia youtube channel, which contains a set of videos in which the story of Charles Darwin's visit to Australia in 1836 is told
