Dr Shane Huntington OAM

It was great to share my research vision for precision prevention and early detection, with a focus on gynaecological cancers, on @einstein_a_gogo ! Thank you, @drshanerrr.bsky.social , for the invitation & fantastic questions. Excited to introduce my new lab at @monashuniversity.bsky.social

It’s been a few good months with my hobby.

Look up

We have our own @3rrrfm.bsky.social tram to celebrate our 50th Birthday! How awesome is that. If you see it people, send me photos! #Melbourne

Beautiful moon tonight….

I give you all the Southern Pinwheel Galaxy C70. Imaged over numerous nights on my Seestar S50 Pro smart scope. Melbourne Australia

Another super crisp night in Melbourne

Still have a lot of work to do on this one.....some early data from the Seestar S50 Pro. C103 - the Tarantula Nebula. Melbourne, Australia.

If you have clear skies right now people…

My new Seestar S50 Pro telescope is doing a great job with galaxies from Melbourne Australia.

Working at University of Sydney today with some amazing researchers, research support staff and leadership. Always brings back memories of all the time I spent here as a PhD student collaborating with photonics legends. Weather is garbage as usual.

Loved chatting to @drshanerrr.bsky.social on @3rrrfm.bsky.social Einstein-A-Go-Go. Took along my 7yo: “Mum, I can’t believe you were on the radio!” Talking #innateimmunity, #virus #infection and #inflammation research at @hudsonresearch.bsky.social Particularly our recent #MDA5 study. #scicomm

Good morning people. Happy Sunday.

Happy Saturday people.

Don't forget people, if you have not already subscribed to @3rrrfm.bsky.social 102.7FM make sure you get on line tomorrow between 11am-12pm during Einstein A Go Go and support independent science broadcasting. Science needs more support than ever. We promise a super fun show tomorrow!

Looking forward to another awesome Nerd Nite tonight. Totally sold out weeks ago. Cannot wait to hear Krystal and Wade.

I give you the Cat's Paw Nebula. Melbourne Australia.

Radiothon.

Definitely Radiothon at @3rrrfm The place is totally rocking this morning. Don’t forget to subscribe to Einstein A Go Go today at 11am.

Watching a classic from 1984. It’s on Prime now. Wild stuff. @janebadler kicking arse as always.

Today was the start of the 3RRR Radiothon. We are celebrating our 50th Birthday this year. RRR exists because of community support and I need you all to subscribe to keep this wonderful community station strong. Don't forget to select Einstein A Go Go. @3rrrfm.bsky.social www.rrr.org.au

Attn Early Career Researchers: There is still time to register for this FREE webinar that is on later today. asmr.org.au/cpd-events-w...

Next week we are running an amazing webinar for early career researchers. If you have not already registered you can do so here: asmr.org.au/cpd-events-w... It's Free People!

NHMRC Investigator Grants out today. A devastating day for many. I have already received messages from some of the best researchers I know who have missed out. The senior levels had a cutoff of 5.93 (females), 6.2 (males) - according to my sources. The impact will be wide spread.

Good morning people. Happy Monday.

The ARC have said (on LinkedIn) they will release outcomes for Discovery Projects Expressions of Interest (2027) tomorrow👇

Just a little cluster of stars M93 Imaged in suburban Melbourne.

Images of a gorgeous galaxy.

Here is Thor's Helmet......a delightful nebula. Captured in Melbourne, 10km from the CBD!

In some parts of the sky, galaxies are conveniently located close together so you can capture them in a single image. The Leo Triplet is such a group. Captured in suburban Melbourne.

The 2026 SSA #Mentoring Program launched today with training from the excellent @drshanerrr.bsky.social. So happy to see both new and familiar faces in the stats community joining the program! Well done to @nicolewhite.bsky.social, Lizzie Koreevar and the committee! statsoc.org.au/Mentoring

Stunning Nebula captured last night. The Rosette Nebula C49 - imaged from suburban Melbourne.

We need to keep advocating for the release of MRFF dollars to secure our future. A pleasure working with so many great people to support Monique’s video campaign. 👌

The Aussie Sky.....

Melbourne sky. The Southern Hemisphere rocks.

Clear skies last night in Melbourne....

This week was awesome.

Last night was just wild done at Werribee South Beach. Sooooo many people. I love seeing such community interest in this spectacular physics event.

The Orion Nebula. Stunning part of the sky.

I’m now in the process of booking in radio guests for 2026 for Einstein A Go Go on 3RRR. Calling all researchers in Melbourne. All fields welcome. PhD and ECRs very welcome. DM me if you are interested in an in person interview. Show broadcasts live Sunday mornings from 11-12.

More voices standing up.

Beautiful sky in Melbourne last night.
