- Living the Electric Dream: Flinders University enters the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge.
- Taking a fresh look at how we age: using apps to optimise health at any age.
- Partnering with the Fox School of Business: adapting to rapid changes in the job market.
- Mike Bull’s lizard legacy: the unparalleled insight into the secret lives of lizards.
Read these stories and more in the electronic version of Encounter, with additional content below.
We hope you enjoy the read and encourage you to get in touch, provide feedback and share what news you would like to hear - it might even be your own story.
We’d love to hear from you!
