Director's Message
Dear Colleagues,
It is my great pleasure to announce that Sue Wigley has accepted the offer to join us in the role of Executive Assistant. Sue will join us from the Dean’s office where she is currently the EA to Professor Andrew Roberts. Some may even remember her from her time helping to run the PhB program with Associate Professor Paula Newitt, now Dean of Students. I couldn’t be happier to have Sue join our School community and greatly look forward to welcoming her in August.
There are some great student profiles and a few new discoveries announced on the School website. I draw your attention to recent work from the Nonlinear Physics Centre.
The inviting picture above comes from Dr John Debs - The island of Ambrym in Vanuatu is an active volcanic with one of just five lava lakes in the world. Nice warm thoughts for the cold weekend ahead.
I’m away next week and Professor Rob Elliman has kindly offered to stand in for me.
Have a restful weekend.

To quota or not to quota
from Women on Boards
The release earlier this month of the AICD’s most recent gender diversity report indicates that their PR campaign to increase female representation on ASX 200 boards to achieve 30% is far from over. which again is hardly surprising as, to realise this modest target, well-qualified and credentialled men are going to have to get off boards for equally qualified and credentialled women to get a gig. » read more
