Director's Message
Dear Colleagues,
It’s good to see signs of Spring everywhere. I hope you had a chance to enjoy the weather.
Last Thursday it was a pleasure to invite ACT Minister, Shane Rattenbury, on campus to present seven ACT businesses a share in more than $1.1 million in grants from the Renewable Energy Innovation Fund (Canberra Times article). Of the winners, two companies, PV Lab and FlexeGRAPH, have had long associations with Physics and we have had the pleasure of hosting some of their technical facilities. They were represented by their founders, Dr Shannon Notley (FlexeGRAPH, left) and Dr Michelle McCann and Lawrence McIntosh (PV Lab, right), seen above. It is great to see ACT is leading the country in shifting dependencies on fossil fuels. Well done to PV Lab and FlexeGRAPH.
By the end of the day I will have met with all Departments and Professional staff groups to provide an update on how the School is managing some of the recent staff separations and budget pressures. My intention is to meet periodically to listen to your concerns and to address questions.
Have a good week,
Tim |
