20.01.2022 Flash sale! All cans of soft drink (excluding Coca Cola and Pepsi varieties) are half price in the Braggs Level 1 fridge!! Come and grab a refreshing cold beverage :)

17.01.2022 We've had a little bit of an incident with some rebellious cans of soft drink in the fridge... it's all cleaned up now but the drinks aren't cold so we recommend waiting until Monday! Fortunately no chocolates were harmed in the explosion

15.01.2022 We're excited, are you guys excited? We're screening two movies in the huge and impressive Braggs lecture theatre! We watched the first movie a couple of years ago when it was released, so watching the second movie (with a second postgrad group) is just, well, twice as good!

14.01.2022 The rumours are true! We've teamed up with the Adelaide University Postgraduate Society and all-star alumnus Aidan Brooks to bring the PhD Movie and the new PhD Movie 2 to you in late November/early December. Stay tuned for some more news.

13.01.2022 Thank you to those who came out and said hi last Thursday for International Day of Light! We hope you had some fun and learnt something new about light :)

12.01.2022 Since the exhibition isn't until late November, we've extended the competition an extra two weeks. Nice! Next week also lines up with the Aussie Backyard Bird Count, a citizen science initiative to help count birds in your neighbourhood, which definitely counts as a science activity to take pictures of! http://aussiebirdcount.org.au/

12.01.2022 We will be celebrating the International Day of Light tomorrow under the Mezzanine in Hub Central from 2-3pm. Come along for a few minutes and say hi and have a go playing with some optics! Details also found here: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/international-day-of-light-
