One of the most important things ANU did for my career was to give me space to enjoy and be fascinated by learning.

To help scientists better understand processes behind learning and memory, ANU PhD student Jason Whitfield has developed a new tool to track communication between cells within the brain.

A new study at The Australian National University (ANU) will compare the ability of beginner and experienced drivers to spot obstacles on the road.

At high school you’d be lucky if you were allowed to boil water, but University labs are infinitely more interesting because you get to work with more high-tech equipment.
