The Astronomical Society of Australia (ASA) honoured six astronomers at its Annual Scientific Meeting in Adelaide this week, including two ANU scientists.
Two ANU science students have been selected for the Australian Government's New Colombo Plan (NCP) Scholarship for 2017, alongside five other ANU students.
Australian researchers have discovered that the common Panic grasses could hold the secret to increasing the yields of cereal crops and help feed the world with increasing temperature extremes and a population of nearly 10 billion people by 2050.
ANU has paid tribute to Emeritus Professor Howard Bradbury AM, who dedicated 26 years to eradicating Konzo, a crippling neurological disease caused by high levels of a cyanide compound found in cassava, a common staple food in Africa.
