And of course, a HUGE thank you to the Immediate Past President, Alice McCann and our amazing 2023 executives. SciSoc would not be what it is without their many hours of hard work and effort behind the scenes. We will miss them next year but we are super keen to see what SciSoc can achieve in 2024!

Instead of our usual Science BBQ, head over to the Gadigal Centre at the John Woolley Building from 12-2pm today, Thursday 12th October. They will be hosting a free lunch tomorrow, providing an opportunity to hear from and have a yarn with Aboriginal Elders, watch the unveiling of a culturally collaborative artwork and even get creative with badge making. No event page or registration, just swing by if you get the chance.

The Voice to Parliament The University of Sydney has been and will always be a place that encourages and engages with critical conversations and open dialogue. The Referendum to recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in our constitution is a historic moment for the Nation.
