Director's Message

Dear Colleagues,

I hope January is proving to be a more steady month for all.

A short message from me today, leading with some excellent news from late last year that I, regrettably, dropped the ball on. Professor Ping Koy Lam was named one of Australia’s top 40 lifetime research achievers by the Australian newspaper. In this citation Ping Koy is the only ANU researcher listed, and you’ll find some familiar colleagues from other universities represented. My congratulations to Ping Koy and his group, this is a very significant recognition of your standing in your field (image credit:ANU).

Just a reminder that the Intermediate Laser Safety Officer course is running on 21st January. This course, designed and delivered by Dr Vincent Daria, has been approved as the mandatory ANU laser safety training module and is also offered externally to Commonwealth agencies. The cost of the course will be covered for RSPhys staff and students.

Have a good week,
Tim
