Finally, a great Annual Student Symposium happened on 11 May, organised by Ilana Klamer and Katherine Newton-McGee (see page above). A fantastic set of talks was presented by 11 students and was extremely well attended by other students, supervisors and staff. See: www.atnf.csiro.au/research/conferences/student_symposia/ASS2005/
