Director's Message
Dear Colleagues,
Congratulations to the founding members of the ANU Chapter of the National Academy of Inventors launched by Dr RA Mashelker, former Director General of India’s Council of Scientific & Industrial Research, our DVC(R), Prof Margaret Harding and inaugural Chapter President, Prof C. Jagadish last Thursday. The photo above shows the first members of the new Chapter of this international, US-based academy in which membership is recognised through granting of a US patent. The Chapter aims to develop a social and professional network for all inventors on campus.
The final sketch plans for the buildings have been sent to the working parties. Could working party members please consult with your colleagues as this is the last chance to amend any details. For those not on a working party and with an interest in this critical final review please see Simon Foxcroft for copies.
PDRs: Not long to go now before all PDRs are due. Please review the notes regarding these discussions as there are some new requirements in advance of our School review. Could academic staff please make sure they have an ORCID number and have validated their Insight records (https://insight.anu.edu.au/analytics/bi/).
Regards,
Tim |

Science Education - There are many opportunities for us to participate in science education in Primary Schools. Marcus Doherty and Liam Hanlon are regular visitors to Florey Primary School and present an engaging set of activities for the students. In the above picture Marcus is carrying the Van der Graaff generator and Liam has the Plasma Ball. The students also got to use the static electricity wands and dodge the ball bearings from the Gauss Rifle. (Thanks to Andrew Papworth for the story.) |
