Director's Message
Dear Colleagues,
I can’t think of a better way to kick off Science Week than with Friday’s great announcement of the ACT Scientist of the Year going to Dr Rose Ahlefeldt (LPC). Rose’s interview with 666 presenter, Anna Vidot, can be caught at here about 1h 21m in. It’s great to have Rose as an ambassador for science. (Thanks to James Walsh CoS for the above pic.)
Many thanks to Andrew Papworth and his outreach team who educated and entertained literally thousands of school students at the Old Kingston Bus Depot last Friday, as a kick-off for Science Week. Together they helped students solve physics-based clues to determine which of the four suspects stole a radioisotope thermoelectric generator.
Congratulations to Dr Cormac Corr (PRL) on being awarded the ‘Senior Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy’. This prestigious and internationally recognised professional award is given in recognition of long experience and noted expertise in tertiary education.
Have a great week. Look forward to seeing you at Market Day. It’ll be one of our biggest!! Lecturers, please remind your classes and post the details on your course Wattle site.
Regards,
Tim |
