Annual Workshop showcases research (and more unexpected) talents

Centre members from across Australia and internationally attended the 2024 Annual Workshop in Wollongong.

The event provided an opportunity to share ideas, information and inspiration, with talks covering the current landscape in dark matter research and what comes next in this dynamic field of research.

Alongisde their academic talents, researchers displayed their diverse skills in a talent show, which included singing, cultural dance, blindfolded chess, and a cake shaped like the SABRE South vessel.

Other highlights were:

- a panel discussion on the future of dark matter research, with an emphasis on astro and quantum technology (featuring Elisabetta Barberio, Chamkaur Ghag, Laura Manenti and Darren Croton)- a talent show featuring cultural song and dance, music, comedy and an incredible blindfolded chess game.

- a moving smoking ceremony to open the event

- a wide range of fascinating presentations

- a small-group mentoring session with themes relating to different cohorts of students and ECRs

Thank you to Centre members and guests who helped make the workshop such a success.
