Nature Portfolio’s ‘What Does A Scientist Look Like?’ exhibition has inspired us at Main Sequence to look closer at the incredible work our portfolio companies are achieving. 👩🔬 🦾Uluu’s very own Jesùs Enrique Rodriguez Gamero, a bioprocess engineer, was featured in the exhibition, highlighting his remarkable contributions. We’ve linked his feature below. Scientists are the unsung heroes driving innovation and progress. They are the individuals behind solutions to some of our planet’s greatest challenges. 🌏 In line with the exhibition’s mission to challenge stereotypes about scientists and their work, we want to recognise just a few of the brilliant minds within our portfolio companies who are pushing boundaries and shaping the future. Join us in celebrating these exceptional scientists and their groundbreaking work: ⚛️ Magdalena Meyer, Senior Optical Engineer at Q-CTRL⚡ Erich Kisi, Chief Scientist at MGA Thermal🧫 Anna El Tahchy, Chief Technical Officer at Nourish Ingredients📱Haritha Siripuram, Senior 5G Systems Engineer at MILLIBEAM🧪 Dominik Kopp, Senior Metabolic Engineer at Number 8 bio👕 Vanessa Vongsouthi, Research Founder at Samsara Eco🔬Smita Salvi, Chemical Engineer at EnduaShare your encouragement in the comments or follow these remarkable individuals to stay updated on their scientific endeavours. #ScienceMatters #STEM #Innovation - 🌍 Happy World Environment Day! 🌱 Today, we reflect on our collective responsibility to protect our planet and celebrate Australian farmers' incredible stewardship of the land. At Number 8 bio, we're focusing on one of the most impactful strategies: reducing enteric methane emissions directly. Methane has a profound near-term impact on climate change and presents an opportunity for creating significant value. Our innovative feed additives are designed to improve rumen performance and reduce methane, helping producers drive sustainable agriculture 💚#WorldEnvironmentDay #Sustainability #ClimateAction #AgTech #Agriculture #AnimalHealth #MethaneReduction

- What an incredible time at #Beef24! Our top highlights from our week in Rockhampton: 💥 Agtech advances: Walking through Beef Australia 2024, you couldn't help but get excited about the innovation flooding our fields. From smart sensors monitoring everything on the farm to eco-friendly practices that enhance productivity, it’s clear: agtech is making huge strides in what many know as the least digitised industry. 📊 Carbon talks get real: This year, the buzz was all about redefining profit through a greener lens. A shift in farm production economics, with a significant focus on emissions, natural capital and biodiversity. Producers are increasingly valuing the opportunities that sustainably producing food and fibre presents. 🌱 Rocky on the rise: The Westpac Property tours around Rockhampton were a major highlight. It was great to hear from Scott Braund from Mort & Co and Dan Edwards from Rural Funds Management Limited on how they are teaming up with locals to spearhead exciting new projects. These collaborations are bringing state-of-the-art feedlots and sustainable farms to life. 🏆 Agscent’s big win: We loved seeing our friends at Agscent snag the top spot at the 'Pitch in the Paddock'. It’s more than just a win; it’s a testament to the vibrant startup culture brewing within Aussie agriculture. Their success is a beacon for all of us on a mission to innovate sustainable solutions in the agri-sector. 💚 Community & heart: The energy was infectious, with thousands flocking to the event, proving that agriculture is not just about crops and cattle—it’s about people. Between the lively competitions, powerful talks and sundowner sessions, #Beef24 was a week-long celebration of the tight-knit, resilient community that's at the heart of what we do. It was a week that reminded us why we’re so passionate about this industry. Thank you to everyone who made our week in unforgettable. We can't wait for 2027! 🤠🐮#Number8Bio #SustainableAg #AgTech #Emissions
