10.01.2022 Kouts synopsis of yesterdays staff vs students ultimate frisbee match: "After a gruelling contest in blustery conditions, we put up a good fight and were competitive until the very end. The aim was to be the first team to 10 points. We were down 8-9 and it was still up for grabs. However, the undergrads prevailed and we went down 8-10. With only one practice session this was a great effort, so thank you to all who participated. We congratulate the undergrads on their win and we look forward to the next contest."

10.01.2022 The Callitris project (funded by CERF) involved sampling natural populations of Callitris columellaris around Australia, and travelling by plane, road, boat, helicopter and train. Here is Dr Lynda Prior using a more primitive mode of transport to sample trees in Central Australia. #wherecanplantsciencetakeyou
