What do wandering seabirds, clever quolls and blue-tongued sheep have in common? They all star in this creature-feature Pint of Science evening!

Sick sheep

Fabian Lean (Graduate Student / Veterinarian, AAHL CSIRO)
Bluetongue virus causes an important disease in ruminants that has major impacts on animal health. Using a combination of conventional pathology and modern molecular techniques, my project hopes to provide further insights to this disease.

Studying the secret life of seabirds

Dr Holly Kirk (Post Doc, RMIT University)
Seabirds spend almost their whole lives on the open ocean, so how do we go about protecting these natural wonders? Learn about how technological advances are uncovering seabird behaviour and aiding marine conservation.
