Director's Message
Dear Colleagues,
Loads of great news this week. The Level E promotions were announced this week and it is my pleasure to say all of our applicants were successful. Our congratulations go to Professors Jodie Bradby, Adrian Sheppard and Andrew Truscott.
The 2017 global list of the most highly cited researchers has been announced (https://clarivate.com/hcr/) and our Professor Yuri Kivshar remains the only Australia physicist on the list. Another outstanding achievement for Yuri and his group.
This week’s pic shows the participants in the inaugural Mentoring and Guidance in Careers (MAGIC) workshop which ran at ANU last week (see below). The program was led by Nanda Dasgupta (Nuclear Physics); Nalini Joshi (The University of Sydney); Merryn McKinnon (Centre for the Public Awareness of Science, ANU). By all accounts it was a fantastic program exploring the many facets of forging careers in different sectors with contributions from community leaders from around Australia and our School.
I’d like to thank Julie Arnold for looking after the EA role so brilliantly well in Sue’s absence.
Have a great weekend,
Tim |
