Some of Charles Sturt University’s (CSU) brightest science minds will gather at the Wagga Wagga campus on Thursday 17 July to present their innovative research at the annual Faculty of Science postgraduate seminar day. Of the 200 undertaking Master degrees and PhDs at CSU, 70 will speak before an audience of peers, lecturers and colleagues about the significant research they are undertaking. Convenor and Sub-Dean of Graduate Studies, Professor Patrick Ball, said ”The day encourages students to communicate their research in terms that are easily understood by anyone who does not have an in-depth knowledge of their topic, and it is also an opportunity for students to hear what others are researching. Covering a broad range of areas including irrigation, social impacts, viticulture and advances in animal and plant science, the day is an opportunity for students to present their ‘big ideas’, many of which will contribute to advances in science in Australia,” he said.
