2025: A Year of New Beginnings, Fun, and Scientific Adventures

To mark the end of 2024 and welcome the start of 2025, here’s a snapshot from our Department’s Christmas party. Our lab had an amazing time bowling, and we even brought home a trophy—a gigantic bowling pin! We also enjoyed a delightful picnic by the beach, taking advantage of our university’s location near one of Sydney's most beautiful beaches—definitely a bonus.

As we kick off the year, we are excited to welcome Corinne Haenggi, our new PhD student with a passion for astrobiology, and Liam Hiwitt, who brings a deep interest in fungi to the team. We’re also thrilled to share that our dear colleague Thomas Laird is now officially a PhD candidate as well!

The Ferrari lab team wishes everyone a year filled with joy, exciting science, and plenty of fun!
