We were fortunate to have Prof. Mark Adams (Dean, Fac. Agr & Environ, Uni Sydney) visit our Faculty, organised by Prof Koike (Silviculture). It was a great chance for us to interact with people working on the forestry side of Agriculture, including seeing some of their research equipment - the huge crane for examining tops of forest canopy is a big contrast to our micropippette and little eppendorf tubes! Very stimulating conversations and lots of new ideas!!
