Dear list members,
Our program of semester 1 seminars sent yesterday mistakenly omitted
details for one talk (listed below as #3). Please find below our updated
seminar program. All seminars will be held in the Woolley Rogers
Room in the John Woolley Building at the University of Sydney (a
campus map may be found here). Before each
session we will also send a reminder with an abstract
and short biography of the speaker.
We hope you can attend this semester's program.
Kind regards,
AABS Executive
