Director's Message

Dear Colleagues,

Congratulations to Dr Chunle Xiong (DQS) and Dr Alexander Poddubny (NLPC) on winning their Future Fellowships.  RSPE received 2 of the 8 awarded to the ANU.  Also, congratulations to Prof Ken Baldwin for his appearance on the 7.30 report last night. It’s great to see him as one of the leading figures in what could be a breakthrough for the Australian energy landscape. The Chief Scientist’s report is out today.

This week’s pic comes from Petra Rickman (NP). It’s her favourite panorama from Mt Wellington, Hobart.

Hope you have pleasant weekend.

Tim
