Director's Message
Dear Colleagues,
My best wishes to our Honours students who are in the final stages of their assessments. My thanks go as always to all the thesis examiners.
Last Monday colleagues from NPAA and USydney joined to celebrate Dark Matter Day with other dark matter enthusiasts in the Marie Reay building. The public event featured a range of interactive displays and presentations about one of nature's grandest mysteries, and it was a huge success. Above left, Ferdos Dastgiri (NPAA), Zuzana Slavkovska (NPAA), Lindsey Bignell (NPAA), Ciaran O'Hare (USydney), and Ellen Sirks (UniSydney) offered the participants the chance to delve into the enigmatic world of dark matter. My thanks to the organisers of this great public event.
Have a great week,
Tim |
