Congratulation to Sally Crane, who presented at the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) Australia conference in Tasmania earlier this month. Sally presented her work on the FuelTox Pipeline: microfluidic qPCR for microbial ecotoxicology in soil.
Sally Crane will attend the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) Asia/Pacific 2016 conference at the National University of Singapore this September. Sally, who focused on residual fuels during bioremediation at Macquarie Island for her MPhil, will also attend the SETAC-AU conference to be held in Tasmania in October.
Congratulations to Sally, who has been awarded a student travel scholarship to attend the BioInfoSummer workshop in Melbourne.
This year Ferrari Lab Director Belinda Ferrari scooped the top prize at the Postgraduate Council (PGC) Supervisor Awards and was awarded a PGC Outstanding Supervisor Award.
Only three supervisors receive this award each year, and this is the first time BABS has won the top prize!
Belinda was presented the award by Pro Vice-Chancellor (Research Training) and Dean of Graduate Research Professor Laura Poole-Warren, and will be featured in the PGC and Graduate Research School Newsletters.
The award recognised Belinda's outstanding dedication to both her role as supervisor and her wider activities within the University. Belinda's lab team is both very lucky and very proud!
